His Presence- The Source of Power, Provision, Victory

UV 3379/10000 His Presence- The Source of Power, Provision, Victory

No man will be able to stand before you (to oppose you) as long as you live. Just as I was (present) with Moses, so will I be with you; I will not fail you or abandon you.

Joshua 1 v 5

God was with Moses in a special way. The word says Moses spoke face to face with Jehovah, the I Am. God invested him with power to represent and speak on His behalf. Moses was led by God step by step on the journey to freedom and the promised land. He did mighty miracles through him and for him. He sent ten plagues on those who opposed him. He gave him victory in battles. He rebuked even his brother Aaron and Miriam for speaking ill of him. He parted the Red Sea when the army of Pharaoh was in hot pursuit of the former slaves. The presence of God was with Moses. He did the same with Joshua. Today, the same God is with us who believe in Jesus. He leads us and deals with those who oppose us. No man or forces of darkness will be able to stand before us.


The presence of God is promised to us in the words, “ …so I will be with you: I will not fail you or abandon you.” His presence with us or our personal relationship with the Lord God is the source of our empowerment, our contentment, our happiness, our victory, our deliverance, our blessings and our strength. As long as He is our first love, we are assured of His presence. First love implies that we love Him more than we love ourselves, more than we love dear life. We can be strong, resilient, courageous as God is with us. We can be confident that He will lead us to victory and that He will provide whatever we need for our journey.

We confront different challenges in life for which we find a similar situation confronting a faith hero in the Bible. According to the challenge, we can ask and believe, for instance, that the God of Gideon is with us, the God of Joseph is with us, the God who resurrected His Son Jesus is with us, the God of Elijah who provided for him is with us.. God manifest His love, grace, wisdom and power in different ways with these faith heroes. According to our need, we can pray and ask the God of… to be with us.
