No Man Shall Stand Against Me

The focus of this week is the ‘Declarations of a child of God’. People from various walks of life make their own declarations. For e.g. politicians, people from various faiths etc. So, we need to know how important it is for a child of God to make godly declarations and we will discuss a few of them here.

Psalm 107:2 says, ‘Let the redeemed of the LORD say so, whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy;’

Let the redeemed of the Lord say so: i.e. the redeemed should not not say anything they want instead they must say godly words, things in the scripture, worship the Lord.

Our life will go in the way of our most prominent thoughts. If we hammer on how bad our life is, or how sinful we are then chances are that your life will take that turn. However if your prominent thought is that you are a child of God, then your life will take those turns. Whatever we think repeatedly, our life will take the shape of that. Often what also happens is that whatever we continually think about, we talk about as well (our mouth speaks from the abundance of our heart) and as we know our tongue is a double-edged sword.
Going back to the verse above, let the redeemed of the Lord say positive things, which are pure, holy, noble and good.

If you are a child of God, one thing you should keep on repeating is, ‘No man shall stand against me’.

Joshua 1:5 says, ‘No one will be able to stand against you all the days of your life. As I was with Moses, so I will be with you; I will never leave you nor forsake you.’

There is something called fear of man or sometimes fear of the enemy. It is natural to have these fears. However, our God has given us a few pointers to get over this fear. The verse above clearly says that no one will be able to stand against you all the days of your life. 
Joshua and Caleb were the only two from the generation who left Egypt who were given the privilege to cross into Canaan, the promised land of God. Joshua was entrusted by Moses to complete the rest of the journey. The verse above is an instruction that was given to Joshua by our Lord. This also means that many will rise against Joshua as his enemy, however God promises that they will not last. 

Psalm 68:1 says, ‘Let God arise, let his enemies be scattered: let them also that hate him flee before him.’

Any enemy that stands up against us is an enemy of God as well. The battle belongs to the Lord and this is clearly seen in the journey of the Israelites to the promised land. Whoever has risen against them has been perished by the Lord. The battle belongs to the Lord. God promises Joshua that he will never leave him nor forsake him. This is a promise to all the children of God who are in ministry.  

Isaiah 2:22 says, ‘Stop trusting in mere humans, who have but a breath in their nostrils. Why hold them in esteem?’

Human beings are mere humans, do not be afraid of their threats. If God is protecting you, why should you fear? When we lose this trust in God, that’s when fear creeps in.

David wrote in Psalm 3:6, “ I will not fear though tens of thousands assail me on every side.”

God camps with His people.
 
Revelation 21:3  
“And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Look! God’s dwelling place is now among the people, and he will dwell with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God.

When the Israelites lived as gipsies in the desert, God camped with them whenever they set up their tents. If God did this in the Old Covenant, then how much more would He tabernacle with His children in the “ New Covenant” which is a better covenant.

Believe that your house is a ‘Bethel’ (Beth: house, El: God) which means House of God. The Lord is in your house, the Holy Spirit is in your house, so do not be afraid. When the Lord comes to your home, He will not be alone. His entire procession of angels of protection will be by your side.

When you read the Bible, throughout you will see people rising against the people of God. We can see that if the people who are leading or take the role of a leader is brave in the Lord, then the entire group of people also feel the same. In the same way if the man of the house is strong in the Lord, his family will be protected and safe in the hands of the Lord. In the time of Nehemiah, several people arose against the Lord. However, Nehemiah was a bold man who stood strong in the Lord. He said “Should a man like me run away?” (Nehemiah 6.11)

Deuteronomy 28:7 says, ‘The Lord will grant that the enemies who rise up against you will be defeated before you. They will come at you from one direction but flee from you in seven.’

We have a Lord that scatters our enemies and no man shall stand against me. Victory is guaranteed as we don’t depend on our strength but on God’s strength. 

Let’s declare : ‘No man shall stand against me’
