Beloved, we already know that we are at war, so it’s important to know who our enemies are.
Is it our family members?
Is it our colleagues?
Is it our friends?
Let’s just know that if we have a covenant with the Lord,
If we serve and obey the Father, he will always be on our side, he will always be there for us.
So those who oppose us,
those who attack us
those who position themselves as our adversaries have lost,
they are defeated because the Lord defends us,
he takes care of our enemies personally,
He is committed to deploying his power on our behalf.
Jephthah was once chased away by his brothers because he had been born of a prostitute.
As far as his brothers were concerned, he had no right to the inheritance.
So, being rejected, he found himself living with people of no means,
He adapted to them and they honoured and respected him.
Some time later, his brothers who had despised him had a problem.
They were being fought by the sons of Ammon, who were oppressing them, and they couldn’t win over these people.
This is how they remembered that they had a valiant hero brother on their side whom they had excluded from their community.
When they came back to beg Jephthah, it was no longer to come and be a servant but to come and reign over them, to be their leader.
The same people from his house, his blood, had conspired against him and when they found themselves in distress, they understood that the God of Jephthah was the only one who could give them victory over their enemies.
Jephthah had a covenant with the Lord of hosts,
he had faith that the Lord could not abandon him in this situation.
Jephthah did not rely on his battle strategies,
nor did he rely on his means and arsenal of war.
He looked to Jesus,
he trusted in his God,
he knew that all those who were against him were against his God, his enemies were God’s enemies.
And Jephthah returned with his brothers, trusting in the Lord, and victory was given to him.
Exodus, 23:22 – But if you listen to his voice and do everything I tell you, I will be an enemy to your enemies and an adversary to your adversaries.
Bless be the Lord who has made himself the ennemy of your ennemies.
When the Lord puts a way in our path, let us listen to it.
If the Lord gives us an instruction, let us obey it.
It is when we are attached to the Lord that he will oppose all those who stand in our way.
Good day to you all
Good day to you
