Text: Nehemiah 2:17-20

Surveying the entire gamut of the greatness and the sovereignty of God we discover that the greatest privilege on earth is to be able to say, “Abba, Father”. Anyone who decides to position himself against a beloved child of God is undertaking a suicidal mission. Whoever makes himself your enemy automatically becomes God’s enemy. As long as an enemy cannot conquer God, he cannot conquer you. Once you have settled with God and there is no rift between you and your Maker, the enemy does not stand a chance. They can surround you but they cannot surround God. The Heaven of heaven cannot contain Him, as Solomon said, so how can an enemy surround Him? He is the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. When the enemies surround you, He will surround them. When He surrounds them, He will hit them from behind. He will surround your enemies and ambush them as He did to the enemies who came to besiege Jehoshaphat (2 Chronicles 20:20-23). Because the enemies cannot surround God, they present themselves as casualty. They cannot hide from the One above. God was the first person to throw bombs, as recorded in Joshua 10:10-11 (When Joshua was fighting against the five kings that came against him). God sent hailstones on the enemy soldiers. As long as the enemies surrounding you are standing on God’s own soil, the ground will swallows them up, as He did, in Numbers 16:23-33, to Korah. If all is well between you and God, no siege will last against you because, in Isaiah 8:9-10, the Almighty God promises that your enemies will be broken into pieces: “Associate yourselves, O ye people, and ye shall be broken in pieces; and give ear, all ye of fat countries; gird yourselves, and ye shall be broken in pieces. Take counsel together, and it shall come to nought; speak the word, and it shall not stand: FOR God is with us.” If God is with us, nobody can be against us. Proverbs 19:21 says: “There are many devices in a man’s heart; nevertheless is the counsel of the LORD that shall stand”. If the Lord is your side, every siege in your life will end today. Tell God you belong to Him; therefore, every siege against your body, soul and spirit, your family and finances should be broken into pieces. Also ask God to surround every enemy that surrounds you and deal with them decisively.
