"when he gives quietness, which then can make trouble? And when he hides his face, which then can behold him? Whether it be done against a nation, Or against a man only.' (Job 34:29)
It
is dangerous to be on the opposite side to God. It is equally dangerous to
oppose his word. Isaiah 45:9 state that everything and everyone who opposes God
is headed for destruction. When God brought a turnaround to the siege in
Samaria, the man of God spoke the word of God but the King's counselor opposed
him. His opposition attracted judgment, which was fulfilled within 24 hours and
led to his death (2kings 7:19-20).
'When
he give quietness, who then can make trouble? And when he hides his face, which
then can behold him? Whether it be done against a nation, or against a man
only..' (Job 34: 29). When God has ordained peace for you, anyone who is
planning evil against you is courting trouble. God is so powerful and mighty
that the same time it will take him to destroy one person, say one second, is
enough to destroy a whole nation. Who or what is challenging God in your
life?
'For
if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the spirit do
mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live. For as many as are led by the
spirit of God, they are the sons of God's (Rom 8:13-14). This passage tells us
that just as the spirit of God directs God's children, so does the flesh. This
means your flesh is opposing God to ensure that you end up somewhere God has
not planned for you. If you allow your flesh to have the upper hand in your
life, dictating what you do, and where you go, it will lead to your
destruction. The passage also gives you the clue on how to deal with your
flesh. Destroy it by the help of the Holy Spirit. Put your body under.
Besides
your flesh, there are other opposes of God. Ephesians 6:12 shows that demonic
forces are positioned to hinder your every move in obedience to God. But Luke
10:19 says Jesus has empowered you to put them where they belong -under your
feet. Apart from this, your loved ones may oppose your being born again or
obeying his call upon your life. Proverbs 21:1 tells you to ask God to turn
their hearts to favors your cause. Arise today and silence everything that
exalts itself above Jesus in your life!
Firmly stand against every voice that opposes
Jesus Christ and his will for your life.
