What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? (Romans 8: 31)
Whenever the devil throws something at us, we need not to lose hope. In fact, we can be sure that God will turn it around for our greater blessing because He is for us.
When God first made man, He gave man dominion over everything on earth. (Genesis 1: 26) But when Adam fell, sin and death entered the world, and man lost his authority to the devil.
So did the devil win? No, God executed His redemption plan by sending His Son Jesus to die for us. And He want us to know that Jesus’ death did more then just restore us to the same position that Adam had – it placed us in a much higher position!
When the Father raised Jesus from the dead, we who are in Christ were raised with Him. In other words, we are now seated with Him at God’s right hand in the heaven places, “ Far above all principality and power and mighty and dominion. And every name that is named, not only in this age but also in that which is to come”!
(Ephesians 1: 21)
Adam never had this position. So through Jesus’s death and resurrection, we have received so much more.
In the Old Testament, we read of how God brought the Israelites out of bondege in Egypt into a land and evicted the giants!
So the Israelites ended up inheriting large beautiful cities which they did not build, houses full of all good things which they did not fill, hewn-out wells which they did not dig, and vineyards and olive trees which they did not plant! (Deuteronomy 6 : 10-11). Although the devil tried to prevent God’s plan for His people from coming to pass, they ended up receiving so much more!
Beloved, the devil may throw obstacles and evil circumstances at you, but God will turn those evil schemes around for your greater blessing because He is for you.
Shalom.
