BIBLE IN A YEAR: Psa 70-72
OUT-NUMBERING THE OPPONENTS
MEMORIZE: "He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty" (Psalms 91:1)
READ: Daniel 10:12-14
What does Elisha mean when he said those that be with us are more than the enemies? It means the heavenly forces on our side are more in number than the demons against us. When the devil fell, he took one third of the angels with him (Revelation 12:3-4). This leaves two thirds for us. For every demon that faces you, there are at least two angels defending you. God’s army outnumbers the enemies. Praise God. When a demon withstood an angel sent to bring Daniel an answer to his prayer, another angel was sent and that was the end of the story. The second angel engaged the demon while the first angel brought Daniel his answer.
All your pending answers shall be released to you today. Apart from out-numbering the enemies, the heavenly army fighting for us are more powerful. 2 Kings 19:32-35 says one angel killed 185,000 soldiers in one night. Before you determine and conclude how big your problem is, first think of how big your God is. The size of your God will determine the size of problems He can handle. If your god is a pocket-sized symbol or a special ring, then you have reasons to be afraid when you encounter large problems. Such a problem will swallow up a pocket-sized god. The God that I serve is the Almighty God. He is called the Most High in Psalms 91:1. No matter how high the enemy or storm, it can never be as high as the Most High. No matter the power your opponent wields, it can never be as powerful as the Almighty. Everything responds to my God.
No sickness or terminal illness can defy the command from the Resurrection and the Life. No storm in your life can resist the Prince of Peace and stiller of storms. It therefore follows that if you are on God’s side, victory is assured. The winning side makes the loudest noise. When Elisha told his servant the ones with them are more than the ones against them, he was saying that there was no need to fear because God had already given them the victory. Remember, no matter the level of oppositions you face, your supporters are always more than your opposers, your helpers far outnumber your detractors. You will succeed in life because those who want you to succeed are more than those who fight against your success. Sometimes, like it happened in the battle of Jericho, God may want you to proclaim your victory with joyful shouts. Then He will give you the victory. Shout out loud for the Lord has given you the victory!
ACTIONPOINT: Proclaim your victory over the various contrary situations you may be facing. Thank God for giving you victory over them.
