Being BUSY for God

UV 3237/ 10000 Being BUSY

You are my King, O God; Command victories and deliverance for Israel.

Psalm 44 v 4

We acknowledge God as our eternal King, our Ruler, Our Sovereign. We attribute all praise and thanks to Him. He is the One who commands victories and deliverance for us in all our struggles on Earth. We only need to approach Him and trust His promises to deliver us whatever be our crisis or challenge. He gives us the spiritual strength of a bull though we may be physically frail. We can trample down those who rise against us without cause or provocation. We do not trust in weapons or physical prowess. He will surely save us, rescue us from our spiritual and personal enemies and put them to shame. We are both soldier and commander. He is both shield and sword.

People have two options in life, encrypted in the word- BUSY. We can Be Under Saviour’s Yoke or Be under satan’s yoke. Being Under Saviour’s Yoke ensures we are victorious in our lives. Being Under satan’s yoke implies we are defeated, troubled and humiliated. All our lives we need to be BUSY for God. His hand or His power is not limited to help us overcome. We shall overcome all our life’s challenges by the grace of Christ Jesus in us. The yoke or burden He gives us is not only light, it is powerful, effective, productive, amazing, victorious. Among all the biblical and historical personalities, Jesus faced, endured and overcame the greatest challenges any human has ever faced and overcome. He obtained victory over sin, over satan, over death. These are the ultimate victories for all other victories are either Pyrrhic or in vain for eventual death annuls all glory of the victory. Hence, He is given the sovereign right to ordain victory for any other human being. He anointed His followers with the words, “You shall overcome even as I have overcome.” The cross, the symbol of ultimate humiliation became through Christ, the symbol of ultimate and absolute victory. But just as there is no cross without nails, we will have to endure pain and suffering in the process of commanding victory and deliverance for ourselves and others.

We are viceroys of God on Earth for the word “viceroy” means “in place of the King.” We represent Jesus, the King of Kings on Earth. We speak and act on His behalf. We can command victory and deliverance with the authority of the Author of Life and of Salvation of all mankind. The enemy is not put to rout in one shot like a knock out blow but in several bouts. We should start strong in whatever we are attempting, plod on in faith and finish well. The Lord can give us victory against many or few and with many or few on our side. He is not odd but He is the God of Impossible Odds. When the situation seems hopeless, He turns it around. We are not fighting our battles alone. He is by our side, fighting it in the spiritual realm while we do whatever lies within the realm of our responsibility. If required He commands His army of angels to come to our aid. He sends the Holy Spirit to empower, remind, comfort, strengthen us.
