Topic: Only One Night
Text: II Kings 19:32-36

God’s actions are swift and decisive. It doesn’t take God a long time too deal with your enemies. He can silence all those who have vowed to be a stumbling block on your pathway. God can wipe off, in one breath, every enemy you ever had since you were born. You might have thought that it could take you several years to fight and conquer all the satanic agents who have made up their minds to hinder your journey to the heavenly city, but with God, a million demons can be paralyzed in one split second. When God decides to help you, it takes Him only one day to empty the camp of your enemies.

When you go through the Scriptures, you will find out that when God decides to fight for any nation, or to fight for any person, He does it in one day and, the next day, there would be no enemy left. A very good example is found in II Kings 19:32-36. There was a very powerful King called Senacherub, with a mighty army. He sent word to Hezekiah not to put his trust in God but to surrender to him. When Hezekiah got the king’s letter, he spread it before God for divine intervention. God replied by sending an angel to destroy all the soldiers of Senacherub in one night. We need to note, therefore, that it is very dangerous to be in the camp of the enemy. It is a wonderful thing to be in the camp of the Lord. Whoever is again the people of God runs a very great risk because it will take God only one night to finish the person.

In Psalms 34:21, the word of God states it clearly: “Evil shall slay the wicked: and they that hate the righteous shall be decollate.” To be desolate, in the above passage, actually means to become empty. The fate of your enemies is already sealed. You can only pray to God to have mercy on them. When you are on the side of God, anyone who seeks to work against you can be likened to someone who attempts to break a coconut with his head. Such a person will not partake of it. With God in your side, you are more than a conqueror.
