Battle Against God
Listen
Greetings in Jesus Name! What a joy to be in the presence of the Lord. Every time we come into His presence, we go back with a portion of His mind and heart. Today, be encouraged to be wise and shroud on your life’s circumstances. It is okay for you to expect God to fight your battles but you must ask yourself why you are going through this struggle when He has blessed you.
In the book of 2 Chronicles:20:10, we see a prayer made by Jehoshaphat and the people of Judah, they say, “And now see what the armies of Ammon, Moab, and Mount Seir are doing. You would not let our ancestors invade those nations when Israel left Egypt, so they went around them and did not destroy them. 11 Now see how they reward us! For they have come to throw us out of your land, which you gave us as an inheritance.
This is a group of people in Moab, Ammon and Seir who are not originally Israelites but relatives of Israelites and God promised His protection over them. Moab and Amen were sons of Lot. Because of the fellowship between Lot and Abraham, God wanted to protect them, so He brought Lot out of Sodom and Gomorrah before destroying it. Mount Seir was inhabited by the sons and daughters of Esau. Esau was the brother of Jacob and son of Issac and they had a blessing on their family line which is why God did not want them to be destroyed.
God did not want to harm these three nations. And He said to the Israelites not to touch them nor enter into their land but go around them. When Israel is coming back to Canaan, they were about to destroy so many nations. But in the midst of this destruction, God is protecting these three nations.
The heart of God was for them to prosper. And at this point, they tend to fight with Judah. Even though God wants to protect them, because they have picked up a fight with someone God loves, God has to fight them.
It is very normal for a Moabite, Ammonite to think that God doesn’t love, care or protect them. But, God planned to protect them from the very beginning.
Are your battles or struggles is because you have picked up a fight with someone you are not supposed to? Can you introspect and reason out for your struggles?
When you pick battles that God doesn’t want you to, He will start fighting you. Share on XThere is a difference when people, demons and God are fighting you. Let be a word to introspect and understand in which our steps are leading.
