FAITH CAPSULE: Counting on God will keep man from courting on magic devises agents!
Isaiah 46
Gain understanding in the word of God to know that truly miracle is not magic. One expecting for manifestation should give self with expectation to the miracle of God instead magic. Miracle is simply a wonder and God alone is the wonder working God. Miracles are of God, Miracles lasts forever and it runs deep. Just as worship is opposition to worrying so is miracle to magic. Miracle belongs to God while magic is of the evil one. Magic is a devise of the enemy. Magic glitters and it will only last for a moment.
Seek magic for manifestation of one’s expectation is seeking a substitute for God. It is wrong! It is wrong to liken God for another god. Isaiah 40:18 warned, “To whom then will you liken God? Or what likeness will you compare to Him?” God for Today, just like in the past, seeking for manifestation concerning expectation in the place of magic is substituting God magic
Do not substitute miracle of God for magic. Without doubt, man that does not liken God to any other is certain to count on God. Counting on God will keep man from courting other means which will always lead to self-disappointment to become discouraged in life. God is real as it is recorded in Isaiah 46:5, “To whom will you liken Me, and make Me equal and compare Me, that we should be alike?” Counting and courting God is the only avenue not be a victim of magic devises in this wicked world.
Despite not being able to see manifestation of self’s expectation in the physical is not enough for discouragement. With counting and courting on God is the evidence of getting close to God’s miracle. Disallow magic and devices of devil’s agent from coming close to a place in your life. Magic will fail! In physical, no matter how result of magic glitters, waiting on the miracle hand of the Almighty God is the only way of receiving from God. Also, one that give self to God will definitely receive from God’s hand.
Pharaoh was counting and courting on magic to deny Israelites from going to serve the Lord at the request of God through Moses. It is written, “So Moses and Aaron went in to Pharaoh, and they did so, just as the LORD commanded. And Aaron cast down his rod before Pharaoh and before his servants, and it became a serpent. But Pharaoh also called the wise men and the sorcerers; so the magicians of Egypt, they also did in like manner with their enchantments.” (Exodus 7:10-11) The magic worked for Pharaoh’s magicians but could not match against God. Any power demonstration outside of the name of God is a failure.
Allow the manifestation of miracle by following through the way of God and not a way which seems right. God’s way out from bondage is the miracle but not a magic way.
Prayer for today: Ask God for the grace to keep you from magical snares of this wicked world.
