« Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; For You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me »
23 So the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
24 “Speak to the congregation, saying, ‘Get away from the tents of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram.’ ”
25 Then Moses rose and went to Dathan and Abiram, and the elders of Israel followed him.
26 And he spoke to the congregation, saying, “Depart now from the tents of these wicked men! Touch nothing of theirs, lest you be consumed in all their sins.”
27 So they got away from around the tents of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram; and Dathan and Abiram came out and stood at the door of their tents, with their wives, their sons, and their little children.
28 And Moses said: “By this you shall know that the Lord has sent me to do all these works, for I have not done them of my own will.
29 If these men die naturally like all men, or if they are visited by the common fate of all men, then the Lord has not sent me.
30 But if the Lord creates a new thing, and the earth opens its mouth and swallows them up with all that belongs to them, and they go down alive into the pit, then you will understand that these men have rejected the Lord.”
31 Now it came to pass, as he finished speaking all these words, that the ground split apart under them,
32 and the earth opened its mouth and swallowed them up, with their households and all the men with Korah, with all their goods.
33 So they and all those with them went down alive into the pit; the earth closed over them, and they perished from among the assembly.
34 Then all Israel who were around them fled at their cry, for they said, “Lest the earth swallow us up also!”
To future our discussion from yesterday on the dangers of fighting against God, let us look at what happens when you are fighting on His side.
When you decide to fight on the side of God, no matter how big or strong your enemy is, you will win.
It doesn’t matter if you are fighting against enemies within your household or those outside – as long as you are on the side of God, they cannot defeat you.
The beautiful thing about standing on somebody’s side is that the individual is also standing beside you, so if any enemy sends an arrow to you, such a person is also sending an arrow to God.
That is why no weapon fashioned against you can prosper Isaiah 54:17.
When you are on God’s side, no enemy can defeat you.
In 1 Samuel 17:34-37, David talked about how he had killed a lion and a bear and that he would also kill Goliath because God was with him.
King Saul then said to him, “Go, and the Lord be with you”.
The boy defeated Goliath with just a stone because God was on his side and he was on God’s side 1 Samuel 17:44-50.
In Joshua 10:1-14, God was on Joshua’s side because Joshua was on His side.
Joshua stopped the sun so that he could defeat his enemies.
When you fight the battle of life on God’s side, victory is sure.
It doesn’t matter what comes your way, greater is He that is in you than he that is in the world 1 John 4:4. Jesus Christ assured us in John 16:33NKJV
« These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world” »
Jesus has overcome the world, so your victory is guaranteed once you are on His side and the first step to ensuring this is to surrender your life to Him.
Application – Those who are on the side of God are victors in the battles of life.
