« In view of all this, what can we say? If God is for us, who can be against us? »
23 “Therefore, the Kingdom of Heaven can be compared to a king who decided to bring his accounts up to date with servants who had borrowed money from him.
24 In the process, one of his debtors was brought in who owed him millions of dollars.
25 He couldn’t pay, so his master ordered that he be sold—along with his wife, his children, and everything he owned—to pay the debt.
26 “But the man fell down before his master and begged him, ‘Please, be patient with me, and I will pay it all.’
27 Then his master was filled with pity for him, and he released him and forgave his debt.
28 “But when the man left the king, he went to a fellow servant who owed him a few thousand dollars. He grabbed him by the throat and demanded instant payment.
29 “His fellow servant fell down before him and begged for a little more time. ‘Be patient with me, and I will pay it,’ he pleaded.
30 But his creditor wouldn’t wait. He had the man arrested and put in prison until the debt could be paid in full.
31 “When some of the other servants saw this, they were very upset. They went to the king and told him everything that had happened.
32 Then the king called in the man he had forgiven and said, ‘You evil servant! I forgave you that tremendous debt because you pleaded with me.
33 Shouldn’t you have mercy on your fellow servant, just as I had mercy on you?’
34 Then the angry king sent the man to prison to be tortured until he had paid his entire debt.
God is great and He has great plans for His children.
However, there are many people who work against the plan of God for their lives. Romans 8:31 BSB :
« What then shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? »
Many people answer the question above by saying “Nobody”, and I always wonder which Bible they are reading, because in my own Bible, the answer was not given.
The Bible was silent about the answer.
Let us therefore look at it logically.
If God be for us can the devil be against us?
Definitely not, because James 4:7 says that if we submit to God, then we can resist the devil and he will flee.
If God be for us, can demons be against us?
No way, because Mark 16:17 says we are to cast demons out.
If God be for us, can witchdoctors be against us?
No, because Isaiah 54:17 says no weapon formed against us shall prosper.
If God be for us, there is only one fellow who can be against us: ourselves.
Disobedience is the major thing that makes many people work against themselves even when God is for them.
Disobedience has destroyed many destinies in the past.
God is the master sculptor.
When a sculptor wants to make a masterpiece and the wood decides to break off where it shouldn’t,
he may then be left with no choice than to toss it into the fire as firewood.
Unfortunately, this is the reality of many people God had destined for greatness.
If you refuse to obey God, He will not force you, but your actions may make His original plan not come to pass anymore.
This is why you must obey God to the letter at all times, no matter how difficult it may appear.
- Facing difficulties while obeying God is far better than the anguish of an unfulfilled destiny caused by disobedience to His word.
Beloved, I leave you with this passage: 1 Peter 5:6 CW
« Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God so that in due time, He may honor you. »
Application – The cost of indiscipline is far higher than that of discipline.
