There shall not any man be able to stand before thee all the days of thy life.: as I was with Moses, so I will be with thee: I will not fail thee ,nor forsake thee”.
Joshua 1:5
The verse promises us that no human being can defeat us all the days of our lives.Though unseen the Lord is with us all the time and we are greater than any other great people in this world., because we are great by His grace. This greatness was gifted to Moses and Joshua. It is also gifted to us, who are His children.
1John4:4 says”….. greater is He that is in you, than he that is in the world”.
This encouragement should empower believers not to fear satan, but rather trust the Lord and obey His commands. By doing so we can overcome the powers of darkness and walk with boldness in this life.Isaiah54:17 says” No weapon formed against us shall prosper “.
He makes us more than conquerors. Romans 8:37”In all these things we are more than conquerors through Him that loved us.” We only need to yield to Him and resist the enemy of our soul. We do not use force or violence or the methods of our enemies, but Lord guarantee our victory.
Deutronomy 20:4 “For the Lord your God is He that goeth with you, to fight for you against your enemies, to save you.” God was with Moses and led him step by step on the journey to freedom and to the promised land. He did the same with Joshua.Today the same God is with us and He says” I will never leave you nor forsake you”.Hebrews 13:5, Deutronomy 31:8
Our personal relationship with the Lord is the source of our happiness, victory, deliverance, blessings and strength. We can be confident that He will lead us to victory and provide whatever we need for our journey . The worldly people live on the basis of money and prosperity, but people of the Word,who is God, live on the basis of God’s promises. The Word becomes our source of strength, inspiration, guidance, wisdom and hope.
The enemy always plot to attack us or steal our peace and happiness. Lord goes ahead of us and cover our back. The battle belongs to the Lord. So the plot of the enemy won’t be successful as our pilot and escort are both Almighty God.Our battle is not physical but spiritual, in prayer and supplication and meditating and claiming His promises.
Heavenly Father we thank you for the promises which help us to overcome the world and become victorious. Thank you for your promise that “ I will never leave you nor forsake you”. In Jesus name I pray , AmenSol. Gigi Jacob
