Meditate On
No Weapon Shall Prosper Against You
“No weapon formed against you shall prosper, and every
tongue which rises against you in judgment you shall condemn. This is the
heritage of the servants of the Lord, and their righteousness is from Me,” says
the Lord.
Isaiah 54:17
A life that is founded upon the gospel of Jesus Christ is
unshakable. When you build your life upon the gospel, you are building on a
strong foundation that will give you stability and the power of God for lasting
breakthroughs (see Rom. 1:16).
You may be going through an extremely difficult season right
now. Perhaps you are reading this and you have just received a negative medical
report, or maybe you are surrounded by some challenging circumstances at your
place of employment. I want to encourage you to say this by faith: “I am too
blessed to be stressed.” Now invite our Lord Jesus into your situation. Involve
Him in your area of need. Whether it is a healing, provision, or relationship
breakthrough that you need, see and believe that the Lord is with you.
My dear friend, don’t put your trust in your own
understanding. Instead, lean wholly on the one Who is more interested in your
success than you are. The book of Proverbs tell us, “The name of the Lord is a
strong tower; the righteous run to it and are safe” (Prov. 18:10). Run to Him
and cast all your cares upon Him for He cares for you. Speak with me this
promise of God found in today’s scripture into your situation right now: “ ‘No
weapon formed against you shall prosper, and every tongue which rises against
you in judgment you shall condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the
Lord, and their righteousness is from Me,’ says the Lord.” Amen and Amen!
Meditate on the last line of this powerful scripture. In
the new covenant of grace, your righteousness is from the Lord Jesus Himself.
Now, the more you understand your righteousness in Christ, the more you will
experience His promise in today’s scripture.
The opposite holds true. When God’s people are not
established in their righteous identity in Christ, they become susceptible to
the weapons of the enemy. Weapons such as sickness, lack, guilt, condemnation,
fear, depression, and all kinds of disorders and addictions. That is why it is
so important to be sure that you are listening to the real gospel. God’s Word
proclaims that none of these weapons, even if they have already been formed,
shall prevail against you. And every unfounded accusation, every malicious lie,
and every false allegation you shall condemn! The enemy doesn’t have a hold
over your life. God does, and He holds it together!
