FAITH CAPSULE: God calls and back up the called ones.
1Samuel 26
The Lord God yesterday, today, and forever is not partial but merciful.
He watches over all.
He is God that does not sleep nor slumber.
The psalmist mentions, “Behold, He who keeps Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep.” (Psalm 121:4)
God is a God that does not look away from His children but will fight for His children.
Has He called you, but the enemy takes a position against you?
Word of God encourages, “He who calls you is faithful, who also will do it.” (1 Thessalonians 5:24)
He that calls you shall not slumber or sleepover; He shall show up on your behalf.
Without a doubt, turn to God, be faithful, and know that He will fight for you.
Moses about the calling of God over his life.
Moses was accused but could not fight the battle by himself.
Moses responded to his people, “And Moses said: “By this, you shall know that the Lord has sent me to do all these works, for I have not done them of my own will. If these men die naturally like all men, or if they are visited by the common fate of all men, then the Lord has not sent me. But if the Lord creates a new thing, and the earth opens its mouth and swallows them up with all that belongs to them, and they go down alive into the pit, then you will understand that these men have rejected the Lord.” (Numbers 16:28-30)
Moses committed his fight to the hand of God.
God could not slumber or sleep on behalf of Moses.
God fought on behalf of Moses to terminate the enemies of Moses.
Today, your enemy shall experience the vengeance of God.
Did He call you as He called Moses to back him up?
Like Moses, God called David to back him up in answering His calling over his life.
God called David to be King after Saul, but Saul relentlessly sought to kill David by pursuing him all over the face of the earth.
The hand of God was in place over the life of David.
Who can bend the hand of God from manifesting on your behalf?
Saul attempted, but he prevailed as a failure.
Saul was pursuing David with three thousand soldiers.
At night, David approached Saul while his guards were in a deep sleep. David could have killed Saul but vowed not to destroy the anointed of God.
The Bible records, “So David took the spear and the jug of water by Saul’s head, and they got away; and no man saw or knew it or awoke. For they were all asleep, because a deep sleep from the LORD had fallen on them.” (1Samuel 26:12)
David did not attempt to fight his battle but allowed God to fight on his behalf.
When God fights for you, it shall be a permanent victory.
Today, your enemy shall experience the vengeance of God.
Prayer for today: Ask God to send your enemy into a deep sleep.
