HIS HOLDING
Isaiah 45: 1-13

When God anoints you He will hold your right hand and He will go before you. What a blessing to be anointed by God for His assignment? God is God and He can choose to anoint anyone regardless of their background. Once He anointed Cyrus the king of Persia a pagan, to accomplish the deliverance of the children of Israel. Isaiah 45:1, “Thus says the LORD to His anointed, To Cyrus, whose right hand I have held— To subdue nations before him And loose the armor of kings, To open before him the double doors, So that the gates will not be shut: ” When God holds your right hand, victory is certainly certain. When He holds your right hand, you are no longer the one doing the battle but a vessel being used by God. As it was when He held the right hand of Cyrus, so it will be for you and you will subdue and loose the weapons of your enemy; undeniable doors will be opened for your breakthrough. God holding your right hand is God doing the battle while you are just on the battlefield. Isaiah 45:2 also pointed out that when He anoints, He will go before you. Isaiah 45:2, “I will go before you  And make the crooked places straight; I will break in pieces the gates of bronze And cut the bars of iron.” When God goes before you, every impenetrable ground will yield for your penetration and the rough places that have been troubling you in your passage will be made smooth. When He goes before you, highly invested gates that are specially and specifically constructed to stop and deny your breakthrough will be shattered; they will not stand but fall down flat before you. Above all, every treasured and hidden activity of the wicked will be exposed to you. When the Lord goes before you, the riches that the enemy cherishes will be exposed and the enemy will be naked. God going before you is you stepping in His footsteps. You follow and you cannot fail when walking in His steps. God is still in the business of holding the right hand of His anointed and He is sill going before them. Do you need Him to hold your right hand and go before you just like He did unto Cyrus the king of Persia? There is no God besides the Lord God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. He is the Holy One of Israel; He alone is the Lord that does all things and nothing is impossible for Him to do.

Prayer for today: As you go in a new day, week, month or year, ask God to hold your right hand and go before you just like He did Cyrus the king of Persia.
