WHEN GOD IS WITH US
I greet you all in the matchless name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ! I am glad to share the Word of God with you. It is such a joy to be in the presence of God. Amen!
I wish to share the message that God had given me somedays ago. The title of this message is “WHEN GOD IS WITH US…”. One of the amazing blessings that we have in Christian life is that we have a God who is with us, He is called “Immanuel”. To know what happens when God is with us is exciting one. We have lots of blessings to enjoy as he walk with us, be with us. Lets examine some of the blessings.
Deuteronomy 31:3,6,8 these three verses give almost the same meaning. “The Lord your God himself will cross over ahead of you… Be strong and corageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you”.
Jesus Christ also says in Matthew 28:20b, “Surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age”.
We are living in a very dangerous and terrific world now. Even among millions of people, the Lord our God who has made the heavens and the earth says to each one of us, “I am with you”. What a blessed ones we are! We read through the Bible, that God was with Abraham, Joseph, Moses, Joshua, David, Paul the apostle and others too. The same God is with us today, and he says to us not to be afraid and dismayed.
When God is with us, we receive so many blessings. Let us see some of the blessings that we can be bestowed by God, when He is with us through the examples of the Bible.
1. Success in our Deeds:“The warden paid no attention to anything under Joseph’s care, because the Lord was with Joseph and gave him success in whatever he did” (Gen. 39:23). When God is with us, whatever we do he gives us success. It may be household things, business, office work, public affairs, ministry, studies, etc., He is the source of victory and success. Our God promised Abraham, “I will bless whatever you do” and same God is ours and we are the the children of Abraham as well. God was with Daniel, and he prospered in everything.
When God is with us, we will always find the favour of men. When Joseph was in Portiphar’s house, he found favour in the eyes of his master. Even when he was in the prison, God helped him to find favour in his eyes too. Proverbs 3:4 says, “Then you will win favour and a good name in the sight of God and man.” It says that if we win the favour of God, we will win good name in the sight of man.
When God went ahead of Israel, they got victory over Jericho (Jos.6) God was with Jehoshaphat. When Moabites and Ammonites with some of the Meunites came to make was on Jehoshaphat, God gave him a great victory over them. Even today, if God is with us, victory is ours. We can confess often, “If God is with me, who can be against me”. It is His will that we all are conquerors.
The Lord was with Jehoshaphat. “The Lord established his kingdom under his control: and all Judah brought gifts to Jehoshaphat, so that he had great wealth and honor.” Our God wants to gives us the same blessing. 2 Samuel 5:10 Says, “David became more and more powerful, because the Lord God Almighty was with him”. Are you want to be one of them? It possible only because of God who is with you.
This is what our Lord God says, “Do not be afraid of them, for I am with you and will rescue you” (Jer. 1:8). When God is with us, He gives us his protection, nothing will harm us. There may be thousands fallen beside us, but no evil will touch us. “He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty” (Ps. 91:1). “The Lord will keep you from all harm-He will watch over your life” (Ps. 121:7). What a great protection we have in our Lord Jesus!
Be sure to have your God be with you! The above blessings are yours! May God bless you with His everlasting Blessings! Amen! Amen!!
