Intentional Living

BLESSED AGAINST ALL ODDS

1 Corinthians 2 v 8 says: "None of the rulers of this age *understood* it, for if they had, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory."

The strength of the enemy is in secrecy. Hosea 4:6 says My people are destroyed because they lack knowledge (or because they are unaware of what is happening).
Many people often question where is God because they fail to realize that He goes quiet to destroy the plan of an enemy who is quietly plotting against them. Lacking in knowledge is both the source of our weakness and strength.🤔
At times knowing everything is unnecessary, if only we can know *GOD*✌🏽

The awkward thing about our main verse is that the enemy did know about God's plan. From the very beginning in the garden of Eden, God announced that He would win in the end and went on and on, even giving details about how He was gonna defeat him. And yet while knowing it all and doing all that he could to stop Him, Satan still *FAILED*.
Isaiah 46:10 says: "I make known the end from the beginning, from ancient times, what is still to come. I say, 'My purpose will stand, and I will do all that I please.' "
God does not go quiet because He considers the enemy a challenge to Him but rather because HE wants US to know *HIM*.
What makes GOD, GOD is that even if the whole World knows what and how He wants to do something, there is *ABSOLUTELY NO ONE* who can stop Him. He goes quiet to allow the enemy to do his very worst and still show him that *HE IS THE UNSTOPPABLE GOD*💪🏾

God always declares what He will do *BEFORE* He does it to put His enemies to shame and manifest His glory. He is so predictable that even his unpredictability becomes predictable. And He is so unpredictable that even his predictability becomes unpredictable.
He blesses and elevates people right in the presence of their enemies and there is nothing they can do about it. He shines His light in the midst of darkness and they cannot stop him. He comes where the enemy says He cant and they end up clapping for Him.
Even if *ALL ODDS* were against you and all the witches of the World gathered against you, there is *ABSOLUTELY NOTHING* that they can do to stop HIS purpose for your life.
People fail not because God cant but because they *BOAST* in themselves and God resists the *PROUD*. Doubting God is challenging His ability just like the devil.
This morning let the silence of God turn out for your *GLORY* and not for your *SHAME*.
When everything is down, fruitless and dark, *BOAST* not in your abilities, not in your intelligence, not in your beauty, not in your wealth or in your power but *BOAST* in *HIS ABILITY*

Jeremiah 9 v 24 says: "but let the one who boasts boast about this: that they have the understanding to know ME, that I am the LORD, who exercises kindness, justice and righteousness on earth, for in these I delight," declares the LORD."

PRAYER

Heavenly Father, Creator of all the Universe, who is it that can oppose you?!? You created us all, you are greater than us, and there is no one, including myself and the devil and all occultic forces who can stop you.
This morning i call you *THE UNSTOPPABLE GOD* and i humble myself before you. I boldly declare that no matter how bad my situation may be, there is *ABSOLUTELY* no one who can stop you from fulfilling your plans for my life. I recognize you as the only Living and Almighty God and i declare: have your way with me.
In Jesus name i pray. Amen.
