READ: 2 KINGS
19:32-36
God’s
actions are swift and decisive. It doesn’t take God a long time to deal with
your enemies. He can silence all those who have vowed to be a stumbling block
on your pathway. God can wipe off, in one breath, every enemy you ever had
since you were born. You might have thought that it could take several years to
fight and conquer all the satanic agents who have made up their minds to hinder
your journey to the heavenly city, but with God, a million demons can be paralysed in one split second. When God decides to help you,
it takes Him only one day to empty the camp of your enemies. When you go
through the Scriptures, you will find out that when God decides to fight for
any nation, or to fight for any person, He does it in one day and, the next
day; there would be no enemy left. A very good example is found in 2 Kings
19:32-36. There was a very powerful king called Senacherub, with a mighty army.
He sent word to Hezekiah not to put his trust in God but to surrender to him.
When Hezekiah got the king’s letter, he spread it before God for divine
intervention. God replied by sending an angel to destroy all the soldiers of
Senacherub in one night. We need to note, therefore, that it is very dangerous
to be in the camp of the enemy. It is a wonderful to be in the camp of the Lord.
Whoever is against the people of God runs a very great risk because it will
take God only one night to finish the person. In Psalm 34:21, the word of God
states it clearly: “Evil shall slay the wicked, and those who hate the righteous shall be
condemned.” The fate of your enemies is already sealed. You can only
pray to God to have mercy on them. When you are on the side of God, anyone who
seeks to work against you can be likened to someone who attempts to break a
coconut with his head. Such a person will not partake of it. With God on your
side, you are more than a conqueror.
MEMORIZE:
GENESIS32:28 –And he said , Your name shall no longer be called Jacob, but
Israel; for you have struggled with God and with men, and have prevailed.
