KEY SCRIPTURE. Psalms 62:11 God hath spoken once; twice have I heard this; that power belongeth unto God.
The bible introduces God as the powerful creator of the universe. “In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth”. God is all powerful. Power is the ability to make things happen. To say God is all powerful means He can cause to happen whatever His perfect wisdom decides without any hindrance. God will not be God if He is not all powerful.
The Psalmist declares “God hath spoken once, twice have I heard this, and that power belongs to God (Psalm 62:11).” This declaration places the father above any other being that may exhibit some level of power. I always read these program headlines that reads “Altar against Altar”. I do ask myself which altar against what altar. When God is pitched against any being it is a mismatch. That context should not be thought about. Nothing in this universe can stand to oppose the power of God. When the Philistines who were ignorant of the power of God placed the Ark of the Covenant before Dagon their chief god, what happened? (1st Samuel 5:1-4). After the first night they came to find Dagon with its face to the floor before the Ark of the Covenant. They made it to stand, but was dismantled on the floor the next day. Dear child of God never carry any mentality that God goes into context against anything. When God shows up that thing is no more.
Satan could not harm Job privately until He had wittingly sort permission from the Almighty. (Job 1:11-12).
The power of God in relation to the power of the devil is represented by the context between light and darkness.
John 1:4,5 ” In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. And light shines in darkness and the darkness has never over powered it”. Satan is forever powerless before the Lord. God’s power is ultimate power.
Christians who live in fear of ‘whatever’ are simply uneducated about God’s power. Please note this it is one thing to be informed about God’s power and it is another thing to trust your life into His hands.
CONFESSION
What a Mighty and Powerful God we serve. Indeed all power belongs to him, I have no fear for whatever the enemy may raise against me because my father the omnipotent is on my side
