Invisible But Invincible

UV 3406/10000 Invisible But Invincible



“With him there is only an arm of flesh, but with us is the Lord our God to help us and to fight our battles. “ And the people relied on the words of Hezekiah king of Judah.





Like the people relied on the encouraging words of Hezekiah, their king, we should rely on the strengthening word of Jesus. The One who is with us is greater than the one who is with the enemy. With him is only the arm of flesh that is finite and limited in strength, power and prowess but with us is the Omnicompetent, Omnipotent God Almighty. Our reliance is not on our army or our array of resource, abilities or strengths but our dependence is on Jesus, Our Advocate, the Holy Spirit, our Counsellor and Comforter and Jehovah, our Heavenly Father. We do not rely on horses or chariots but on the Lord alone for our victory. The arm of flesh will both flail and fail but the arm of the Lord no man can predict how it will act or react. The arm of man however strong will perish but the arm of the Lord is eternal, infinite, invincible.



Sennacherib, the king of Assyria threatened the people of Judah and their king Hezekiah but the Lord God sent an angel that slew the warriors of his army and he himself was killed by his own children. The Lord proved Himself time and again in the history of Israel to be mighty, invincible and a God of rescue who hears the cry of His children, whoever acknowledges Him and worships Him. We should therefore not pin our hope and faith on mortal help but seek the favour or grace of our Lord. The battle or the struggle belongs to the Lord and He will surely deliver us from it. We need not despair or be afraid regardless of the size or strength of the quarry we are currently confronting.



We only need to fix our eyes on Jesus, the Finisher or Perfector of our faith, character and testimony. He is the Lord of a host of powerful angels. He deploys them to guard and protect His children so that no angel remains idle. Every battle or struggle, challenge or problem is meant to bring out the grace, power and glory of the Lord. We should therefore, not shrink or avoid these but just take our stand of faith in Christ. He is ever present with us to help us, to equip us with His armour and His weapons. He gives us the apt strategy or solution in every situation, crisis or predicament.
