He Intervenes...

Most times we go through situations in life and we feel so despondent, we feel as though our situations are so unique to us and  nobody is ever going to understand. But you know what, the bible says no situations has ever overcome man, except that which is common to man. Going through the loss of a loved one? loss of a job? broken dreams? shattered desires? Its not new! You are not the only one, before you, there were many circumstances such as you have got now and the truth is that after you, there will still be many others. So cheer up and don't call for a pity party or be in the midst of people who are ever ready to organize one on your behalf. I have one of my very dear friends, who lost his wife and a week old baby in an inferno as well as all his possessions and till today, I cant help but wonder what could be worse, but you know what? he was not the only one that lost family members and constantly families mourn the death of several members at the same time. But from my  personal experience  God always intervenes especially if we put our trust in Him When God praised Job for his integrity, satan replied, ‘You have always put a wall of protection around him…take away everything he has, and he will surely curse you.’ So God gave satan permission to test Job, but He placed limits on how far he could go (Job 2:6). There are times ‘…When the enemy comes in like a flood…’ (Isaiah 59:19 NKJV) to attack your mind, your marriage, your ministry, and anything that’s born of God in your life. When that happens, Isaiah says, ‘…The Spirit of the Lord will lift up a standard [shield] against him’ (Isaiah 59:19 NKJV). When you feel you’re at breaking point and can’t handle one more thing, the Holy Spirit lifts up the wall of the blood of Jesus and tells satan, ‘This far and no further!’ Paul says, ‘We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed’ (2 Corinthians 4:8-9 NIV). There’s a wall of protection around you. There’s also a time for your deliverance. ‘…In the time of my favour I heard you, and in the day of salvation I helped you’ (2 Corinthians 6:2 NIV). God will step in and intervene. The Psalmist said, ‘…When my heart is faint; Lead me to the rock that is higher than I’ (Psalm 61:2 NAS). When your resources are depleted and you think you’re going under for the last time, God has provided a refuge that’s higher than your circumstances, a place where you’re under divine protection and the enemy has no jurisdiction. All you have to do is lift your eyes toward heaven.
