YOU ALONE ARE GOD: Devotion for Tuesday April 26, 2016

Text: 2 Kings 19:14 – 19       Memory verse: v 15

There is no controversy as to who is God. No matter the idea people may express about what they feel, God of Israel remains the only God who should be worshipped and feared. Despite all conspiracies against the present day Israel, there is no nation that can be compared with her in terms of excellence, fruitfulness, breakthrough in science and agriculture. This is the reason they have won Noble Peace Price on Science more than other nations. Our God is God of war and He is able to do anything He purposes. Hezekiah knew this too well and in this prayer, acknowledged that He alone is God who protects His name and His people. He noted that the nations Assyrians destroyed do not have Him and that was why they succeeded. He called on God to arise and save Israel; so the world will know that He alone is God.

Proper understanding of our God can help us to appropriate to ourselves the benefits in the New Covenant we have with Him. Even in the Old Covenant days, Hezekiah knew what God of Israel can do hence he didn’t hesitate in going to Him. Beloved, we should know the God we serve. Unlike man, He is Omnipotent. He has full control over the whole earth and can turn situations into our favour. What are the challenges of life you are going through at this moment? God alone has control over those challenges and He will bring you out of them as you call on Him today.

Food for Thought: Isaiah 44:6

Prayer: Grant me the understanding, O God, that you alone are God beside you there is no other god.
