FAITH CAPSULE: God will cause you to preside over your persecutors.
Jeremiah 52
What God said to one speaks to all. It is written, God spoke to Moses how to identify His name, “…The Lord God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has sent me to you. This is My name forever, and this is My memorial to all generations.” (Exodus 3:15) There is none like God that makes a way where there is no way. God shares no name with no any other god. Whatever holds man down is not beyond of God’s deliverance. Regardless of how long you have been held down, God’s visitation shall deliver salvation. God is enthroned and sits as king forever.
Jehoiachin had been in captivity for thirty-seven years when God raised his head and brought him out of captivity. “Now it came to pass in the thirty-seventh year of the captivity of Jehoiachin king of Judah, in the twelfth month, on the twenty-fifth day of the month, that Evil-Merodach king of Babylon, in the first year of his reign, lifted up the head of Jehoiachin king of Judah and brought him out of prison.” (Jeremiah 52:31) God used Evil-Merodach, the king of Babylon and son of Nebuchadnezzar, to lift up the head of Jehoiachin. God will use anyone to lift you from every challenge that is keeping your head down. Evil-Merodach was in the hand of God to lift the head of Jehoiachin. When God remembers, He also rescues. Having used Evil-Merodach to rescue Jehoiachin, God also made him to change the garment of Jehoiachin from that of a prisoner to that of one who eats regularly before the king all the days of his life. God is true to perform, and He performs with perfection.
There is nothing which God is incapable of doing and His capability has no measure. It is the same God that visited Daniel in the den of hungry lions. God’s visitation caused the lions not to have appetite for fresh meat even though the lions were starving to have meat. Are you waiting on Him in prayer concerning a challenge that seems unmovable? Continually trust and hope in God by waiting on Him. Your time of concerning challenge is not the time to stop waiting in prayer but to top up your waiting in prayer to God. God is a prayer-answering God. Know it and make it a note in your heart, get the understanding that God who brought Israelites out of the bondage of over four hundred years will convert your challenge to a glorious change. God alone is Jehovah Sharma and He will hear to answer at the calling of His Name.
Stand in faith by calling on God’s forever name. With faith God is pleased, without faith God is not pleased. Proverbs 16:7 buttressed, “When a man’s ways please the Lord, He makes even his enemies to be at peace with him.” With faith, please God to experience His visitation.
Prayer for today: Ask God to remember you and visit you with salvation.
