YOU SHALL NOT BE CONQUERED
By Rev Michael Benson Ajayi
"I sat not in the assembly of the mockers, nor rejoiced; I sat alone because of thy hand: for thou hast filled me with indignation. Why is my pain perpetual, and my wound incurable, which refuseth to be healed? wilt thou be altogether unto me as a liar, and as waters that fail? Therefore thus saith the Lord, If thou return, then will I bring thee again, and thou shalt stand before me: and if thou take forth the precious from the vile, thou shalt be as my mouth: let them return unto thee; but return not thou unto them. And I will make thee unto this people a fenced brasen wall: and they shall fight against thee, but they shall not prevail against thee: for I am with thee to save thee and to deliver thee, saith the Lord. And I will deliver thee out of the hand of the wicked, and I will redeem thee out of the hand of the terrible."
Jeremiah was a lone prophetic voice that was bold enough to speak against the corrupt culture that was being practiced by Jews of his time , Jeremiah 1 : 16 says they forsook God and embraced idol worship . The people became very confrontational against Jeremiah for his righteous disposition.
The world will fight against you if you promote righteousness , God wants you to know that being his servant will attract attacks , However , He promises that the enemy shall not prevail .
God's word is sweet to the soul, it is food to the human spirit. Meditate on God's word daily for strength . Jeremiah's was able to find strength in depressing times by feeding on God's word " Thy words were found, and I did eat them; and thy word was unto me the joy and rejoicing of mine heart: for I am called by thy name, O Lord God of hosts." Jeremiah 15:16 Feeding on God's protects and heals the mind from mental illnesses associated with depression in times of oppression. .
Your situation is not hopeless as it seems, extraordinary help will locate you . God says " Don’t be afraid, for I am with you. Don’t be discouraged, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you, I will hold you up with my victorious right hand. " Isaiah 41:10
When Moses led the Jews out of Egypt and they found themselves before the sea while being chased by Pharaoh it looked like the Jews were losing the battle but God. instructed that they keep moving forward and he made a way through the sea,. Keep moving forward. Victory is assured in Jesus name.
Prayer: Heavenly Father forgive me of my sins against you I believe that Jesus Christ died and was raised again for salvation I receive him as lord and saviour land receive the holy Ghost and power for stability in crisis..
