Text: Hebrews 13:8
Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan
Exhortation:
Though the power of the Almighty God is available to all, not everyone benefits from it. Why? Because our levels of faith differ. God is not a respecter of persons (Acts 10:34). What He has done before, He can do again. The Bible declares in Epistle to the Hebrews 13:8, “Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.” His power has not reduced; our confidence in Him must not reduce.
When Hezekiah was threatened by Sennacherib, he spread the matter before the Lord (2 Kings 19:14), and God supernaturally defeated the Assyrian army (2 Kings 19:35). Likewise, David repeatedly inquired of the Lord before going into battle (1 Samuel 23:2; 2 Samuel 5:19), and he prevailed because divine direction preceded every confrontation.
However, Joash faced a similar threat from Hazael, the Syrian king, yet instead of seeking God, he took the sacred treasures from the temple and sent them as appeasement (2 Kings 12:17–18). This occurred during the days of Elisha (2 Kings 13:14), a prophet he could have consulted. The power of God was available, but fear and doubt took the better part of him.
The lesson is clear: divine power is accessible, but it is activated by trust. Fear pushes us toward human solutions; faith draws us toward divine intervention. May we never neglect the prophetic voice or abandon spiritual advantage when challenges arise. God still fights for those who confidently depend on Him.
Prayer Nugget: Father, please, strengthen my trust in you. Help me to seek you first in every battle and to rely completely on your unchanging power, in Jesus’ name.
