THE LORD IS SUPREME

MEMORISE: ‘How shall I curse, whom God hath not cursed? Or how shall I defy, whom the LORD hath not defied.’ (Num 23: 8)
READ: 1Kings 18: 17-39

‘How shall I curse whom God hath not cursed? Or how shall I defy, whom the LORD hath not defied? (Num 23:8). This was the question Balak asked King Balaam, who hired him to put a curse on the Israelites. When God does not see any sin, impure thoughts or immorality in your life, anyone who attempts to curse you will end up blessing you. If God doesn’t curse someone, no one will be able to curse that person. As long as you live close to God, nobody will be able to touch you. Any attempt to unsettle you will be to invite trouble from God. However, you should take care not to move from God, or you may not be able to count on his protection if your enemies catch up with you.

As a child of the Most High, you don’t need to fear. Some Christians live in fear. They do not want to offend the witchdoctor that lives down the street, because they think he will put a curse on them. Some will avoid the witchdoctor’s house when they do door to door evangelism, because they are afraid of a possible confrontation with the agents of darkness. Their excuse would be that one needs more wisdom than they possess.

‘And such as do wickedly against the covenant shall he corrupt by flatteries: but the people that do know their God shall be strong, and do exploits’ (Dan 12: 32).

If you are running, it is because you do not realize Whom you serve. If you know even a little about God, you will be bold and declare Jesus a the gate of your enemies. If they decide to challenge your power, invite God in and see what happens. It will be like a re-enactment of Elijah and the prophets of Baal in our passage. Let no man hinder you from serving God fully.

ACTION POINT
Ask God to reverse all curses against you and to drive enemy agents away from you and your family at the end of the year 2004.
