FAITH CAPSULE: Concerning your life, man is powerless but God is powerful.

Genesis 31

The psalmist testified, “I will lift up my eyes to the hills from whence comes my help? My help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth He will not allow your foot to be moved; He who keeps you will not slumber. Behold, He who keeps Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep.”(Psalm 121:1-4) God is the helper of man and truly he does not sleep nor slumber. When God says go no man or challenge can stop or deny you from going. When He calls you to move mountain shall be removed for your passage. Above all, when God returns you from nowhere to the center of your divine assignment He will permit no man to hurt you.
Jacob made the choice not to inform nor bid farewell to Laban the Syrian when God called him to return. It is written, “Then the LORD said to Jacob, “Return to the land of your fathers and to your family, and I will be with you.”” (Genesis 31:3) Evidently, God called for Jacob’s return but then, the relationship between both Jacob and Laban was no longer favorable. After Jacob had left, Laban went after him with bad intentions because Rachel stole Laban’s household idol. With all his bad intentions, God appeared to him in a dream and cautioned him to be careful in his dealing with Jacob. As a result, when he caught up with Jacob, he stated, “It is in my power to do you harm, but the God of your father spoke to me last night, saying, ‘Be careful that you speak to Jacob neither good nor bad.’”(Genesis 31:29)

Whenever God calls for you to go or return there will be no other power under heaven that can stand against you. All power belongs unto God and there is no other that is capable of hurting you in the journey which the Lord has called you for turnaround into His divine purpose over your life. It was God that called Jacob to return and Laban was not in position nor possess any power that was capable to deny God. Laban was not in God’s position as a result he was powerless. Concerning your life, man is powerless but God is powerful. Have you been called out by God? Is your move in response to the calling of God? Do not move on your own understanding. In every calling of God, let your move be based on trust in the Lord with all your heart; avoid leaning on your own understanding; be conscious of His presence; let no wrong assumption take charge of your ways and know it that God will permit no man to hurt you as you engage His calling. God is not a man that He should falter; He is faithfully capable to accomplish His word.

Prayer for today: Ask God for the grace of strength to be fully manifested in your life as you return to the center of God’s divine agenda for your life.
