Who can stand against God's agenda?
Isaiah 14:27 For the LORD of hosts hath purposed, and who shall disannul it? and his hand is stretched out, and who shall turn it back?
As believers, we often find ourselves facing various challenges, obstacles, and opposition in our lives. But let me assure you, no matter how great or intimidating the forces may seem, there is nobody who can stand against God's agenda. Our assurance lies in the timeless words of the prophet Isaiah, specifically Isaiah 14:27.
Our faith is anchored in the understanding that God has a purpose and plan for everything that unfolds in this world. The divine agenda is not subject to the whims or interference of humanity.
The passage reminds us that the Lord Almighty has purposed, meaning His intentions and plans are unchangeable. He is the Creator of the heavens and the earth, the One who has set the universe in motion, and His purposes will ultimately prevail.
Isaiah's words emphasize the power and might of God's hand. The imagery of His hand stretched out signifies His sovereignty, control, and authority over all things. No one, no matter how strong or influential, can thwart or obstruct God's plans.
His hand can never be turned back or restrained by any earthly force. The same hand that formed the mountains, set the boundaries of the seas, and breathed life into humanity is the very hand that guides and directs the course of history.
Throughout history, we have witnessed individuals and nations rising up against God's agenda. From Pharaoh's defiance in Egypt to the rebellion of Nebuchadnezzar and countless others, humanity has attempted to challenge the divine plan. However, the resounding message of Isaiah 14:27 is that all such efforts are in vain. No matter how fierce the opposition may be, God's agenda will ultimately prevail, and His purpose will be accomplished.
Understanding that no one can stand against God's agenda should shape our response as believers. Firstly, it should lead us to trust in the Lord wholeheartedly. We must have faith in His wisdom, goodness, and sovereignty, knowing that His plans are ultimately for our good and His glory.
Secondly, we are called to obediently align ourselves with God's agenda. As followers of Christ, our lives should reflect a willingness to submit to His will, even when it contradicts our own desires or the prevailing culture. Obedience is the key to experiencing the fullness of God's blessings and purposes in our lives.
Lastly, we are called to surrender ourselves to God's agenda. We should relinquish our own ambitions, desires, and plans before the Lord. This surrender allows Him to work in and through us, transforming us into vessels for His glory. When we surrender to God's agenda, we become instruments in His hands, participating in the unfolding of His divine plan.
No being can stop gods agenda in this world, it may be delayed by human factor, but it will definitely come to pass. If God has promised, hold unto it, don't lose hope for it will surly come to pass.
God bless you.
