CHRIST WITH YOU
Memorise: There shall not any
man be able to stand before thee all the days of thy life: as I was with Moses,
so I will be with thee: I will not fail thee,, nor forsake thee. Joshua 1:5
No man is an island. At one point or the other, you
would have done something in partnership with somebody. More often then not,
the result of such synergy is geometrically higher than if you go it all alone.
Now imagine if your partner in Jesus. This is what “Christ with you” is all
about. It means a partnership between you and Jesus. It indicates you and Jesus
doing things together. There are many things for which you need God to be with
you, both with respect to things of this world and things of eternal value. If
God is with you there is nothing you cannot achieve.
In the case of Moses, he had every reason to be
apprehensive of the idea of having to go back to Egypt
to set the people of Israel
free from bondage. Obviously, Egypt
was a powerful nation in those days. However, he did not have to deliver Israel all by
himself, for God had said to him: “Certainly I will be with thee” (Exodus
3:12). In that project of yours, in that good but difficult step you want to
take, in that God-glorifying but capital-intensive project that you would like
to embark upon, God will be with be with you. Is there a call of God on your
life for an assignment with you consider difficult, fearsome, dangerous or too
big for little you? Don’t be afraid! All you need is God’s assurance that He will
be with you, and it shall be done. Just like He was with those before you, God
with you in that assignment shall also be to your honour and greatness. Joshua
the servant of Moses, who took over the mantle of leadership from Moses, was
too little in his eyes to step into his master’s shoes. Yet all that God gave
him was the assurance that He would be with him (Joshua 1:5).
The Lord Jesus Christ while here on the earth was
doing wonders, healing the sick, delivering the oppressed, all because God (His
Father) was with Him (Acts 10:38). Let God be with you in your work, family and
business. There is however no way God can be with you if your ways do not align
with His ways. How can God be with you in your business when you do not fellow
his ordinance of paying tithes? Christ is ready and more than willing to be
your partner but His question to you is this:
“Can two walk together,
except they be agreed?” Amos 3:3
Prayer Point
Father, help me to recognise
anything in my attitude, habits and relationships that would not allow me to
enjoy your abiding presence. Let the fire of your word purify me of them.
