THERE'S NO ENCHANTMENT
SONG
We are more than conquerors,
overcomers in this world.
We've been made victorious,
by the blood of Jesus Christ.
TEXT
"Surely there is no enchantment against Jacob, neither is there any divination against Israel: according to this time it shall be said of Jacob and of Israel, What hath God wrought!" (Numbers chapter 23 verse 23)
What a word of comfort to you and I as children of the Most High God,
"...no enchantment against Jacob, neither is there any divination against Israel..."
To me, a similar verse is found in Isaiah 54:15, which says
"Behold, they shall surely gather together, but not by me: whosoever shall gather together against thee shall fall for thy sake."
God in His faithfulness and mercy will strongly oppose anyone or any power that stands against any of His children.
We should never underestimate the Lord's interest in our affairs. As He helped the men of old, He can and will help us His children even today. Whenever a child of God or the church is threatened, God will always make out a way or means to checkmate the opposing power. He will restrain the wrath, and make it turn to His praise.
We are all aware of the enchantments and divinations of Balaam against Israel. Despite the sinfulness of Israel in the wilderness against the Lord, He was quick to defend His people when there arose opposition against them. God's position in the face of Balaam's plots against Israel was that
"He hath not beheld iniquity in Jacob, neither hath he seen perverseness in Israel: the LORD his God is with him, and the shout of a king is among them." (Numbers 23 verse 21).
This is absolutely amazing! He made sure that His people weren't discomfited. God kept His Word to Israel in the face of opposition, saying,
"Behold, they shall surely gather together, but not by me: whosoever shall gather together against thee shall fall for thy sake." (Isaiah 54 verse 15)
Balaam and Balak were thoroughly disappointed because the Lord was for Israel. The Bible says that if God is with you, there can be no one against you.
"What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?" (Roman 8 verse 31)
Be rest assured therefore, dear child of God. You are never alone. God is ever with you. He will ensure that every manipulation of the wicked against you shall come to nought, in Jesus name.
PRAYER
Thank You, Lord, for the victory You have wrought for me in Christ Jesus.
