If God Be For You Who Can Be Against You

What is still holding you bound to fear? You have been released from all kinds of fear including the fear of death, which is the main thing holding people in bondage all their lifetime (Hebrews 2:15). As a child of God you have no reason to fear again, for if God be for you, WHO can be against you? This post aims at making you see that the Lord is bigger than all your fears.

What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? - Romans 8:31 (NKJV).

The LORD is on my side; I will not fear. What can man do to me? It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man. All nations surrounded me, but in the name of the LORD I will destroy them - Psalms 118:6, 8, 10 (NKJV).

Many people are so fearful. They are afflicted by fear of so many things: fear of the devil, fear of wicked men, failure, rejection, poverty and sickness. However, this is so because of, first their ignorance of whom the Almighty God is and secondly, what they have surrounded themselves with. They allow themselves to be fed with the evils and wickedness in this world and so become clogged with fear. You shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free (John 8:32). You must choose Christ to enjoy deliverance and protection from Him.

Two forces on earth

There are only two forces determining which direction you will go: God and Satan. Everything on earth concerning you is governed by either of these two, and who you yield yourself to determines what becomes of you (Romans 6:16).

The Almighty God cannot be compared with the devil, but unfortunately many people fear him more than they fear the Lord. God is the creator of the devil, why should you fear the created? The enemy is subject to Christ (Colossians 2:10), so if Christ is for you can the enemy be against you? The Lord is more powerful and wiser, and His words never fall to the ground (Isaiah 55:11).

Flashback On Men Who Were Different For God

Do you know anybody who is different for God?  The world may be full of wickedness but there are many people who are different for Christ. They may not outnumber the wicked but they are there and are increasing. This post recaptures men who despite all odds remained faithful to God and were different.

Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us – Hebrews 12:1 (NKJV)

“Lord, they have killed Your prophets and torn down Your altars, and I alone am left, and they seek my life”? But what does the divine response say to him? “I have reserved for Myself seven thousand men who have not bowed the knee to Baal.” – Romans 11:3-4 (NKJV)

There is a great crowd of witnesses who had passed through this world, overcame the enemy and were different for God. These people are watching us to see how we run our own race. If they made it being different for the Lord, you too can make it.

Elijah thought he was the only one left standing for God, but God corrected him that He had seven thousand men who have not bowed their knees to Baal. So if you think it is difficult standing for Jesus, you being the only one, know that God truly has many people who have not bowed their knees to the devil. You are not alone.

Let’s look at some of the witnesses whose acts were recorded in the bible.

Daniel

Daniel was a man who was different from the beginning to the end. First, he purposed not to defile himself with the king’s food but chose to drink water and eat only vegetables. God honoured him and his friends and made them to look better than those who were eating the king’s food (Daniel 1:8-16). Then in Daniel 6, Daniel distinguished himself from the other governors and they envied him. They tried to find charges against him but they found none. They then resorted to charging him concerning the law of God. Daniel chose to be different in-spite of the lion’s den that was waiting for him. Read more...
