No weapon formed against us shall prosper, and every tongue that rises against us in judgment, we do condemn. This is a powerful declaration from Isaiah 54:17 serving as a reminder of our heritage as servants of the Most High God.
As believers, there maybe some challenges and opposition, but though - our faith should be firm. When others speak or pray against us, seeking our harm or evil or rejecting us, instead of retaliation let’s choose forgiveness.
And having forgiven them, we bless them in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
I understand, its hard sometimes - face by a persistent adversary but this isn't passive work; it's active faith. The one that acknowledges God's sovereignty and protection. We condemn negative words and actions, not people. Let’s try forgiving and demonstrate Christ-like love and compassion.
Matthew 5:45-48 teaches us that our God in heaven makes the sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and that he sends rain on the just and on the unjust the same time, who are we to judge?
For if we love only who loves us, what reward do we have, but we must be perfect, as our Father in heaven is perfect. So, whatever we bind or ask for God he gives Us.
This our Heritage
As servants of the Most High God:
- We must trust in his divine protection (Psalm 91:4).
- We must condemn harmful words and actions (Isaiah 54:17).
- We must forgive and bless others (Matthew 5:44)
Remember, no weapon formed against you shall prosper. You are a child of the Most High God, protected and blessed.
Prayer
Dear Lord, our God and creator. Help us to forgive and to bless those who wrong us. Strengthen our faith and fill us with your love. In Jesus' name, Amen.
