And this is the blessing of Judah: and he said, Hear Lord the
voice of Judah, and bring him unto his people: let his hands be sufficient for
him; and be thou an help to him from his enemies. (Deuteronomy 33:7)
It truly is
amazing how a singular verse can be full of so much revelation. The truth is
that God’s word contains all we need to run the race effectively. We will look
at the concluding part of Moses prayer for Judah. It simply says, “and be thou an help from his enemies”. That
is strong! Whether we acknowledge it or not, enemies exist. Sometimes they are
within and sometimes without. Whichever category the enemies fall into, it is God
that is our trusted shield in life.
Remember it is not by power nor by might but by the Spirit of God.
I must at this point state categorically
say that our number one enemy is the devil. However victory over him was won by
Jesus on Calvary’s tree and in the name of Jesus we are victorious. I am
excited that at the name of Jesus every
knee (no exceptions) must bow. Greater is He that is in you than he
that is in the world.
The bible
declares that when the enemy comes in like a flood He will raise a standard
against it. The Lord declares that the weapons of our warfare are not carnal
but they are mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds.
Over the years
I have also discovered that there are another set of enemies that evolve as you
go on your path to success. I think we call them “enemies of progress”. Literally that is what they are. They never
seem to like any good coming. For such I advocate the application of wisdom in
handling them.
When the Lord is your help He will give you the answer or method
to follow. There are some matters that require silence.
For
instance, if you are in an office where you know clearly that a colleague has
declared war, simply go the Lord in prayer and the Lord will handle it Himself.
The Lord has said that He will fight for you and you will hold your peace. Let me also add that some so-called
enemies are simply tools to work on your patience and self -control thresholds.
Seriously some people are just too temperamental and sometimes the Lord will
allow offence to arise. Once you master the art of holding your peace more
often you will have less occurrence of high blood pressure.
God will be
your help from every enemy so walk with your held up high. Some people have
also refused to do anything meaningful with their lives claiming that their
enemies are responsible for their current condition in life. Please I implore
you that are reading that no enemy has enough power to stop a destiny backed up
by the Lord. Jesus had enemies while on earth but it didn’t stop Him from
fulfilling His ministry.
RISE UP! STOP
MAKING EXCUSES AND GET ON WITH YOUR LIFE. LET GOD HANDLE YOUR ENEMIES.
some perceived enemies are instruments God uses to force us out of our comfort zones to where God actually wants us to be "BUT AS FOR YOU, YE THOUGHT EVIL AGAINST ME; BUT GOD MEANT IT FOR GOOD AS IT IS THIS DAY" Gen 50:20 if JOseph never understood it that way wrong perception would have made him frustrate God's plan for his life and Israel. Remember God has a plan
