Isaiah 14:27 For the Lord of hosts hath purposed, and who shall disannul it? and his hand is stretched out, and who shall turn it back?
Well hello there, all you beautiful Friends of mine in Christ! Blessings and prosperity be unto you and yours this wonderful day that our God has made! Let us therefore rejoice and be glad in it. ‘For the Lord of hosts hath purposed, and who shall disannul it?’ Nobody, my people! No one can change or reverse what the Lord has decreed. Likewise, ‘his hand is stretched out, and who shall turn it back?’ Not one single soul, my brethren! Neither a million souls! Not even the whole population of the earth! No one that has ever been, or will ever be, can move the mighty, steadfast hand of our God. It’s like arm wrestling; the Lord’s the perennial champion! And there are so many instances in the Good Book acknowledging this fact, that we must look at a few. Let’s begin with king Jehoshaphat praying for deliverance when the Moabites and their allies invaded Judah. ‘And Jehoshaphat stood in the congregation of Judah and Jerusalem, in the house of the Lord, before the new court. And said, O Lord God of our fathers, art thou not God in heaven? and rulest not thou over all the kingdoms of the heathen? and in thine hand is there not power and might, so that none is able to withstand thee?’ (2 Chron.20:5-6) And the Lord promised them victory through the Spirit that came upon Jahaziel, Zechariah’s son. ‘Ye shall not need to fight in this battle: set yourselves, stand ye still, and see the salvation of the Lord with you, O Judah and Jerusalem: fear not, nor be dismayed; tomorrow go out against them: for the Lord will be with you.’ (2 Chron.20:17) Next morning, before they went out, Jehoshaphat stood before the crowd and said, ‘Hear me, O Judah, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem; Believe in the Lord your God, so shall ye be established; believe his prophets, so shall ye prosper.’ (2 Chron.20:20) Oh my Friends, those same words apply to us, even to this very day. We need to believe in our God and those who bring us His Holy Word, so that we can be established, set a base for the prosperity that comes afterwards. On that fateful morning, the people went out before the army singing; ‘Praise the Lord; for his mercy endureth for ever. And when they began to sing and praise, the Lord set ambushments against the children of Ammon, Moab, and Mount Seir, which were come against Judah; and they were smitten.’ (2 Chron.20:22) Yes Friends, the Lord caused a quarrel and confusion to reign between Judah’s enemies, so that they slew each other instead of Judah. Oh praise the Lord, my people! He hath purposed it, and stretched out His hand to do it. Who was going to stop Him eh? As Job says; ‘Behold, he taketh away, who can hinder him? Who will say unto him, what doest thou?’ (Job 9:12) Nobody in their right senses mih breddren. Later on, Job again admits the Lord’s supremacy. ‘But he is in one mind, and who can turn him? And what his soul desireth, even that he doeth.’ (Job 23:13) Yes my people, it’s all well and good to have powerful nations and people on earth, but let’s never forget who is the mightiest of the mighty: the One who created it all, the Almighty Lord Jehovah! For, ‘In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.’ (Gen.1:1) Oh my brethren, if you remember nothing else, please remember those words, they are the first words written in the Holy Book; Genesis Chapter 1,Verse 1. And as such, are the foundation words of that mighty manuscript. From them, everything else was born, is begotten and flows, since nothing happens without God first creating the heavenly firmament and the earth. Logically then, it follows that the One who created it all, should be the most powerful. Even one of the highest angels, Lucifer, who should have known better, learned that lesson the hard way when he tried to stage a coup against the Most High God Jehovah, and was kicked out of heaven for his stupidity. Oh Friends, let’s be wiser than Beelzebub and his followers nuh. Let’s take wise counsel from those who have had the uplifting experience of following the Lord, of worshipping, of serving, of revering Him and also of bathing in His rewarding glow. Hear Bruh David’s take on the subject. ‘By the word of the Lord were the heavens made; and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth. He gathereth the waters of the sea together as a heap: he layeth up the depth in storehouses. Let all the earth fear the Lord: let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him. For he spake, and it was done; he commanded, and it stood fast. The Lord bringeth the counsel of the heathen to nought: he maketh the devices (plans) of the people of none effect. The counsel of the Lord standeth for ever, the thoughts of his heart to all generations. Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord; and the people whom he hath chosen for his own inheritance.’ (Ps.33:6-12) And all God’s people said a loud, long, LOVING, Amen! Ah mih Friends, I implore us to write those thoughts indelibly in our hearts, so that they cannot be erased, and will therefore allow us to enjoy the benefits they bring to those who believe them. Much LOVE!…the moral of the story…the Lord of creation…is…was…and will always be the mightiest…remember that…
