God Will Fight For You
Friday, September 8, 2023Key Verse
“Who is the King of glory? The LORD strong and mighty, the Lord mighty in battle” (Psalm 24:8).
Text — Isaiah 49:24,25
Message
The reality of battles in life is incontestable. Ignorance of this reality has made many people become victims instead of being victors. However, for all children of God, there is no reason for fear.
Gehazi was terrified when he saw the Syrian host sent by King Benhadad to capture his master, Prophet Elisha in Samaria. The sight of the armed soldiers and their chariots, made him feel terrified. To his chagrin, God’s servant was unperturbed but rather prayed for his eyes to be opened to see that they had the heavenly hosts with them.
The prayer of Elisha was answered. Gehazi saw chariots of fire surrounding them. God’s people need not worry about challenges in the world. Anxiety does not solve problems but leads to complex health challenges. What we must do when challenges arise is to talk them over with God. Learn to commune with God when your trials are greatest and you will come out victorious. God never loses a battle; He will fight for you and you will glorify Him in Jesus’ mighty name.
