FAITH CAPSULE: <\/span><\/b>Rely on God and you shall prevail.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span>2 Chronicles 13<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Rely on God and He will not reject you. Deep in the heart of man there is nothing hidden from God. As many as there are millions of hearts, God alone sees all the hearts on earth. <\/span>2 Chronicles 16:9 testifies, \u201cFor the eyes of the LORD run to and fro throughout the whole earth to show Himself strong on behalf of those whose heart is loyal to him\u2026\u201d <\/span><\/i><\/b>On earth, there is no heart that is able to hide away from God because it is the heart by which God sees man. A loyal heart is a faithful heart and it is the heart that relies on God. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Once, Abijah the king of Judah was confronted by Jeroboam the king of Israel. In this confrontation, Jeroboam was set in battle with eight hundred thousand men of war against Abijah\u2019s four hundred thousand men of war. Jeroboam, by number, he had no need to rely on God but self. However, Abijah had no number to fight on his behalf but the hand of God. Abijah testified to Jeroboam, <\/span>\u201cNow look, God Himself is with us as <\/span>our<\/span> head, and His priests with sounding trumpets to sound the alarm against you. O children of Israel, do not fight against the LORD God of your fathers, for you shall not prosper!\u201d (2 Chronicles 13:12) <\/span><\/i><\/b>Despite<\/span> A<\/span><\/i><\/b>bijah\u2019s warning Jeroboam took to war hoping his reliance on man\u2019s strength would prevail against Abijah\u2019s reliance on God. <\/span>\u201cBut Jeroboam caused an ambush to go around behind them; so they were in front of Judah, and the ambush <\/span>was<\/span> behind them. And when Judah looked around, to their surprise the battle line <\/span>was<\/span> at both front and rear; and they cried out to the LORD, and the priests sounded the trumpets. <\/span>Then the men of Judah gave a shout; and as the men of Judah shouted, it happened that God struck Jeroboam and all Israel before Abijah and Judah.<\/span>\u201d (2 Chronicles 13:13-14) <\/span><\/i><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

Are you being ambushed by your challenge just as Abijah and Judah were ambushed? If that sounds like you, it is time to cry out to the Lord; it is time to sound a trumpet of praise which represents alarming call to heaven. God sees the heart and He will not fail to spot out the ones that rely on Him. As a result of Abijah\u2019s reliance on God, <\/span>\u201cThus the children of <\/span>Israel<\/span> were subdued at that time; and the children of <\/span>Judah<\/span> prevailed, because they relied on the LORD God of their fathers.\u201d (2 Chronicles 13:18)<\/span><\/i><\/b> A heart that relies on God will be a loyal heart to God.<\/span><\/i><\/b>Rely on Him and you will prevail. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Prayer for today:<\/span><\/b>Ask God to take over your heart and deliver you from the spirit which causes man to rely on self.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
