TOPIC: GOD IS WITH YOU
Bible Reading: Isaiah 34-36; Phillipians 2
“And the Lord said unto him, Surely I will be with thee, and thou shalt smite the Midianites as one man.” – Judges 6:16 (KJV)
As a believer, God is forever with you regardless of the situation that you face or go through. Jesus has become our ‘Emmanuel’ which means God is with us no matter what (Matthew 1:23).
One of the lies the devil often tells believers when they are faced with the trials and challenges of life, is that “God is unhappy with them and He has left them.” The devil will always want you to believe that the reason you are going through those times is because God is unhappy and has left you. The goodnews however is that the Word of God tells us in Hebrews 13:5, “… for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee” God will NEVER leave you nor forsake you!
The Psalmist said, “God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.” Psalms 46:1(KJV). God is ever-present.
The Psalmist understood this when he said in the 23rd Psalm, “Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: FOR THOU ART WITH ME; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.”
That God-given assignment is not beyond you. God is with you and has multiplied your strength, and nothing can stop you. Romans 8:31 says, “What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?.”
God has not left you even for one day. Don’t believe the lie of the devil another day. Stand up in faith and take those bold steps again. God’s greatest assurance to you as His child is, “… SURELY I WILL BE WITH YOU …” The Father is with you and He is looking at you and saying to you as He said to Gideon in today’s text.
DECLARE: I boldly declare that God is with me and He has multiplied my ability! I step out today in God’s ability and I prevail in Jesus’ Name.
