DOOMED ALLIANCE

16^TH ,MARCH 2022

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Jeremiah 33-35

TEXT: Isaiah 8:9-22
9 “Be shattered, O you peoples, and be broken in pieces! Give ear, all you from far countries.
Gird yourselves, but be broken in pieces; Gird yourselves, but be broken in pieces.
10 Take counsel together, but it will come to nothing; Speak the word, but it will not stand,
For God is with us.”

11 For the Lord spoke thus to me with a strong hand, and instructed me that I should not walk in the way of this people, saying:

12 “Do not say, ‘A conspiracy,’ Concerning all that this people call a conspiracy, Nor be afraid of their threats, nor be troubled.
13 The Lord of hosts, Him you shall hallow; Let Him be your fear, And let Him be your dread.

14 He will be as a sanctuary, But a stone of stumbling and a rock of offense To both the houses of Israel, As a trap and a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
15 And many among them shall stumble; They shall fall and be broken, Be snared and taken.”

16 Bind up the testimony, Seal the law among my disciples.
17 And I will wait on the Lord, Who hides His face from the house of Jacob; And I will hope in Him.
18 Here am I and the children whom the Lord has given me! We are for signs and wonders in Israel From the Lord of hosts, Who dwells in Mount Zion.

19 And when they say to you, “Seek those who are mediums and wizards, who whisper and mutter,” should not a people seek their God? Should they seek the dead on behalf of the living? 

20 To the law and to the testimony! If they do not speak according to this word, it is because there is no light in them.

21 They will pass through it hard-pressed and hungry; and it shall happen, when they are hungry, that they will be enraged and curse their king and their God, and look upward. 

22 Then they will look to the earth, and see trouble and darkness, gloom of anguish; and they will be driven into darkness.

KEY VERSE: Isaiah 8:9

“Associate yourselves, ye people, and ye shall be broken in pieces; and give ear, all ye of far countries: gird yourselves, and ye shall be broken in pieces; gird yourselves, and ye shall be broken in pieces.”

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:

Satan’s conspiracies against us have failed already.

THE MESSAGE:

In the history of ancient Israel, the Lord sometimes used other nations to punish His people if they sinned. He did not want them to remain in iniquity, which alienated them from His protection and exposed them to conquest by the enemy. He is the sovereign Lord who can employ the military of any nation, godly or heathen, to implement His agenda.

The Israelites had a taste of this type of proxy judgment from God. Israel teamed up with Syria to battle Assyria, a force the Lord had raised up in military campaigns in the region. In other words, the alliance was unwittingly a war against those appointed by God to fight on His behalf. But the Lord sent a warning to Israel and Syria through Isaiah that their confederacy was in futility.

The great army of faithful believers in Jesus Christ are assured of victory against all the forces of the enemy. No matter how mighty, ferocious and threatening the foe may look on the battlefield, the Lord assures us that they “shall be broken in pieces”. And if they take counsel together, it shall come to nought.

The Lord has given the heaven-bound believer the charge of the great commission. But Satan would employ physical and spiritual adversaries to form alliances to attempt to stop us. We must remember that because we are engaged in the ‘Lord’s war’ to win all nations unto Him and set the captives of Satan free, He will make us unstoppable as we go deep into the communities and the nations of the world to spread the gospel.

DO HAVE A BLESSED DAY
