FAITH CAPSULE: Today, your enemy will answer to unending sleep.
1Samuel 26
The Lord God yesterday, today and forever is not a partial God but a merciful God. He watches over all, He is God that does not sleep nor slumber. Psalmist mentioned, “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 stating, “He who calls you is faithful, who also will do it.” (1 Thessalonians 5:24) He that calls you shall not slumber or sleep over; He shall definitely show up on your behalf. If you have turned to God, He is faithful to fight for you.
The calling of Moses was questioned by the Israelites. Moses was embarrassed, he was accused but he 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. The end of Moses’ fight was eternally terminated. Today, your enemy shall become eternally terminated.
God evidently called David to be King after Saul but Saul relentlessly sought to kill David by pursuing him all over the face of 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. During Saul’s pursuit for David’s life, he went after David with three thousand soldiers. At night time, David approached Saul’s position while all of his guards were in a deep sleep. David could have killed Saul, but he vowed not to destroy the Lord’s anointed. The Bible recorded, “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 for him. When God fight for you it shall be a permanent victory. Today, your enemy will answer to an unending sleep.
Prayer for today: Ask God to send your enemy into a deep sleep.
