When you know the worth of the God you serve, no
matter the challenge or opposition facing you, you remain unmoved because you
have an understanding that they that know their God shall be strong and shall
do exploits. It is like a case of the son of an Inspector General of Police
been unlawfully harassed by police officers, he need not fidget as he is aware the
commander in chief is his person.
In 2 Kings 1, King Ahaziah sent captain with fifty
men to go arrest Elijah for saying that the king would not come down from the
sick bed but die. I am very sure the fifty men were fully armed from head to
toe ready for battle, but this did not move Elijah at all. I love what he said
in verse 10, “If I be a man of God, then let fire come down from heaven and
consume you and your fifty men.” Bible says fire came down immediately.
Also, after Elijah was caught up into heaven and
Elisha was to pass by Jordan, he understood the power of the God of Elijah, so
he never worried himself about how he was going to cross, rather he took the
same mantle that Elijah had used and struck the water in the name of the God of
Elijah. Bible says the water parted.
An understanding of your God gives you assurance
that whenever you call on Him, He will answer you. A God you do not know is not
obliged to answer you. This was what happened to the seven sons of Sceva when
they were trying to cast out evil spirits in the name of a God they never knew.
Bible says the evil spirit tore them naked and wounded them.
Do you know the
worth of your God? Do you know what He can do? Then, why fidget in the face of
trouble. Always remember that no matter how big your trouble is, Jesus is
bigger and stronger.
Hold on to
Him.
