The Alpha of Invincibility


UV3105/10000 The Alpha of Invincibility
There shall not any man be able to stand before thee all the days of thy life: as I was with Moses, so I will be with thee: I will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.
Joshua 1 v 5
This is an amazing promise that the Lord will be with His chosen ones even as He was with Moses. The omnipotence, the wisdom, the understanding, the power and grace will be manifest in our lives even as it was manifest in and through Moses as well as Joshua. We receive the anointing to lead His people out of spiritual slavery even as Moses led His people out of political or physical slavery. In order to accomplish this purpose, the Lord will pour forth His power and His spirit upon us. The spiritual equivalent of the tremendous miracles that occurred under the leadership of Moses will happen in our lives- the Red Sea will be parted, the Lord will fight for us against the pharaohs of this age. As a result, no man however powerful or highly placed or influential can withstand us, our power and our influence.
The uni-verse should embolden, empower and enable us to fulfil our role as the Lord’s chosen leaders. We are emboldened to speak for Him, to decree change, to obtain victory in whatever we are attempting. We will be led into our inheritance even if it means the defeat of 31 powerful kings, principalities and powers of darkness. We are therefore, never to be discouraged, afraid, worried, depressed or disheartened. We are never to be dismayed or disappointed. We are to be courageous, fearless, cheerful, hopeful, confident and faithful.
Even as Jehovah promised to be with Moses and Joshua till the end of their lives, Jesus promises to be with us till the end of the world or the end of our lives, whichever is earlier. He has declared us to be more than conquerors. Victory is guaranteed and sealed. It cannot be taken away from us. Moreover, the Holy Spirit is sent to us to encourage, inspire and guide us. Like Moses and Joshua, we will be witnesses of the amazing power and grace of God. We will experience or cause miracles that are just manifestations or evidence of the presence of God with us. The Lord promises never to fail us, never to leave us or give up on us. He will uphold us in our faith. He will strengthen us in many ways. He will help us. Just as He blessed what was in the hand of Moses-his staff and vested it with power and authority, the Lord will bless whatever we have in our hands and vest it with His awesome power. When we are believers, we should never expect just the ordinary to happen in and through us. The Lord will accomplish extraordinary things in and with us. Just as Moses and Joshua were trained by the Lord to be effective leaders, we will be trained by Him to be effective and to excel in all that we do.
