It’s a wonderful day to be a child of God. Have you ever found yourself in a position where everything seemed to be going wrong? After all the years of sacrifice and dedication, you are now being treated less than a person. Those who came after you are receiving more opportunities and privileges than you. The attacks and traps have increased against you. Lies and vicious rumors have been spread about you. Your name and character have been assassinated by jealous people. Have you ever found yourself in a position where you needed someone to defend you? False accusations and false reports where destroying every thing you worked hard to create. Your integrity and Godly morals were now being prosecuted. The same people who encouraged you before now eagerly design plans to destroy you. Can you relate to the scenarios addressed above? Have you been there? Are you there now?
This morning, I have been commissioned to come and minister to you. Have you ever cried yourself to sleep at night because things seemed out of control? Have you ever had people mistreat you because you would not bow down to them? Have you ever had your marriage, your job, your ministry, or your family threatened because you would not submit to the acts of others who did not honor the Lord? If you answered yes to any of these questions, this morning’s devotion is for you. The Lord has sent me to encourage you. The Lord has noticed all you have endured. My friend, He Will Fight For You! All that you have endured over this period of time, the Lord is handling things for you. This situation is in the right hands now. The Bible declares in 2 Chronicles 20:15 – … Thus saith the LORD unto you, Be not afraid nor dismayed by reason of this great multitude; for the battle is not yours, but God’s. After all that you have endured the Lord wants you to know that the battle is not your battle. He will defend you. He will rise up and protect you.
My brother, my sister, what have you endured over the past few months? What dilemma have you experienced? What situation have you encountered that made you think you could not make it out? Beloved, He Will Fight For You! The Lord will be your banner in the time of war. He will protect you against the enemy and all the lies created. He will restore unto you every thing taken or stolen from you. Whatever you loss due to deception and evil deeds, the Lord will grant it back unto you. The Bible declares in Joshua 1:7 – Only be thou strong and very courageous, that thou mayest observe to do according to all the law, which Moses my servant commanded thee: turn not from it to the right hand or to the left, that thou mayest prosper withersoever thou goest. Your assignment today is to remain faithful to the commandments God has placed before you. You must allow God the opportunity to fight on your behalf. You shall recover from this. You shall no longer be the victim but the victor. Prayer for Today: Father, I trust in You. I know that You will fight for me. I stand on Your promises and ask that You fulfill Your will in this matter. In Jesus’ name … Amen!
