“Now it came to pass in the fourteenth year of
king Hezekiah, that Sennacherib king of Assyria came up against all the defensed cities of Judah, and took them.” (Isaiah 36:1)
The king of Assyria
besieged Jerusalem. No one could go out and no one could come in. He locked up
the place. The reason many people's journey are prolonged is because they
believe they have the power to dictate how the lives of others should go. They
have slowed down some people and have drawn a line, which they have ordered
others not to cross.
Some people do not
fear God. The king of Assyria was one of them. He wrote an insulting letter to
God. Beloved, they are still writing letters to God Almighty. Sometimes they
write it with their mouths. Sometimes they do it with their attitude. But the
king of Assyria wrote his own on paper. He was an educated man. but his own
education killed him. He asked King Hezekiah the following questions in the
letter: “Who is that God you are depending on? Have you not seen how I have
destroyed other people and their gods?”
In Isaiah 37:14, King Hezekiah received
the letter, went up before the LORD, spread the letter, and said to God “The
King of Assyria has written you a letter. Read it.” God read the letter and his
response was swift. Assyria’s king paid with his life.
The biggest mistake
of your enemies is to pick on you. It is a deadly mistake! Do not look for help
anywhere other than the house of God. God’s response to anyone that challenges
Him in your life shall be swift.
WORDS OF WISDOM: When your enemies pick on you they pick on God – Big mistake!
PRAYER/CONFESSION: Father, whatsoever letter they have written to me, I spread it before
You on Your altar. LORD, read it and reply them swiftly, in the name of Jesus.
Amen.
