Jehovah Nissie!

Due to the pressures of life, some succumbed to mediocrity and conformed to the standards of this world, which the Apostle Paul warns us against in Romans 12:1-2. While others refuse to compromise and desire nothing but to please YHW, knowing that the battle has been won as He promised to contend with those who contend with us, for He is Jehovah Nissie. Therefore, “⁸stay sober, stay alert! Your enemy, the Adversary, stalks about like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. ⁹ Stand against him, firm in your trust, knowing that your brothers throughout the world are going through the same kinds of suffering.” 1 Peter 5:8-9 CJB

^“22 Thus says the Lord God:

“Behold, I will lift My hand in an oath to the nations, and set up My standard for the peoples; they shall bring your sons in their arms, and your daughters shall be carried on their shoulders; ²³ Kings shall be your foster fathers, and their queens your nursing mothers; they shall bow down to you with their faces to the earth, and lick up the dust of your feet. Then you will know that I am the Lord, for they shall not be ashamed who wait for Me.”

²⁴ Shall the prey be taken from the mighty, or the captives of the righteous be delivered?

²⁵ But thus says the Lord:

“Even the captives of the mighty shall be taken away, and the prey of the terrible be delivered; for I will contend with him who contends with you, and I will save your children. ²⁶ I will feed those who oppress you with their own flesh, and they shall be drunk with their own blood as with sweet wine. All flesh shall know that I, the Lord, am your Savior, and your Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob.”’ Isaiah 49:22-26 NKJV

“¹³ So Joshua defeated Amalek and his people with the edge of the sword. ¹⁴ Then the Lord said to Moses, “Write this for a memorial in the book and recount it in the hearing of Joshua, that I will utterly blot out the remembrance of Amalek from under heaven.” ¹⁵ And Moses built an altar and called its name, The-Lord-Is-My-Banner; ¹⁶ for he said, “Because the Lord has sworn: the Lord will have war with Amalek from generation to generation.”’ Exodus 17:13-26 NKJV

I pray for Abba Father’s protection and guidance as you continue to navigate life for life is a battlefield. I pray that the Holy Spirit reveals the frenemies before sharing your vulnerability with them. Imagine confiding in the agent of the devil who pretends to be your friend! Therefore, my beloved, please pray for the Spirit of discernment and for your eyes to be enlightened to see things as they are and the authenticity of people’s motives, so that you will not fall for the scams of the enemy. May the God who fights our battles continue to be our shield and banner in Jesus’ Mighty name, I pray.

#Jehovah, contend with those who contend against us!

#Life is a battlefield!

#“Let God arise, let His enemies be scattered; let those also who hate Him flee before Him.” Psalms 68:1 NKJV
