FAITH CAPSULE: As a servant of God, is there any assemble against you?
Isaiah 54
Among the power loaded for the heritage of the servants of God is stated, “No weapon formed against you shall prosper, and every tongue which rises against you in judgment You shall condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and their righteousness is from Me,” Says the Lord.””(Isaiah 54:17) Are you a true servant of God but not serving with mouth? God is forever faithful to back up His true servant as promised in His word. A mouthful servant that is getting away in this wicked world shall be exposed at God’s appointed time.
Serving indeed as a servant of God is not an exemption from the hand of the wicked. Wicked shall possibly assemble against God’s servant but servant of God shall not be kept down. Jeremiah was God’s servant and could not be kept in dungeon by the wicked one.
As a servant of God, is there any assemble against you?
Hear the promise of God for His servant, “Indeed they shall surely assemble, but not because of Me. Whoever assembles against you shall fall for your sake.” (Isaiah 54:15) When God called Jeremiah, He backed him up with His promise and He equipped Him with power of His hand. Jeremiah 1:8-10, “Do not be afraid of their faces, for I am with you to deliver you,” says the LORD. Then the LORD put forth His hand and touched my mouth, and the LORD said to me: “Behold, I have put my words in your mouth. See, I have this day set you over the nations and over the kingdoms, to root out and to pull down, to destroy and to throw down, to build and to plant.” (Jeremiah 1:8-10) Jeremiah was imprisoned in the basement cistern of Malchiah King Zedekiah because of God’s truth. The cistern had no water only mire as Jeremiah could have died a quiet death. Ebed-Melech an Ethiopian was one that went and spoke to the king stating, “My lord the king, these men have done evil in all that they have done to Jeremiah the prophet, whom they have cast into the dungeon, and he is likely to die from hunger in the place where he is…” (Jeremiah 38:9) Serving God in the face of today’s challenging should not be your discourage. The King responded to Ebed-Melech’s request and commanded Ebed-Melech the Ethiopian, saying, “Take from here thirty men with you, and lift Jeremiah the prophet out of the dungeon before he dies.” (Jeremiah38: 10) Just like Jeremiah’s situation, the one that God will send in your direction for your salvation will receive the commanding power to lift you out of wicked agenda above every representative of the dungeon of your life. Regardless of wicked agenda dungeon, you shall remain standing for the glory of God.
Prayer for today: Ask God to establish you for the assignment of His business all the days of your life.
