For the LORD of hosts has purposed, and who will annul it? His hand is stretched out, and who will turn it back?
Isaiah 14:27 (NKJV)
he Assyrian Kingdom was famous for cruelty and torturing people for entertainment. That is why Jonah fled to Tarshish when God sent him to Nineveh, the capital city of Assyria.
When Assyrians conquered a nation, they would uproot and distribute the dominated people in other subjugated lands as they did with the northern kingdom of Israel.
The Southern kingdom of Judah survived the Assyrian assault by the grace of God. However, the Assyrian shadow loomed large. The Jews lived in fear of the then superpower nation.
The Lord of Hosts Has Purposed, Who Will Annul It?
or many Jews, therefore, it was not easy to believe God’s message through Isaiah, “I will punish the fruit of the arrogant heart of the king of Assyria.” (Isaiah 10:12). In modern terms, it was like saying God would destroy USA, Russia or China.
To those in doubt, God asked, “For the LORD of hosts has purposed, and who will annul it? His hand is stretched out, and who will turn it back?” (Isaiah 14:27).
Because God does not lie, by 600 B.C., the Babylonians has conquered and destroyed the mighty Assyrians. What seemed impossible to human beings, the Almighty God accomplished.
No Bondage is Beyond God
We, too, can trust the same God. He can rescue us from the shackles of drugs addiction, alcoholism, immorality, vulgarity, sexual perversion, anger, jealousy, poverty and any other incapacitating substance or circumstance.
He has grand and noble plans to bring down the negative circumstances that impede our spiritual and materials progress. No human being, not even the devil, can stop God from delivering us when the right time comes.
Whatever you have asked God to deliver you from, hold on right there. Your salvation is coming.
Prayer
Almighty Father, thank You because You will fulfil Your purposes for me and nothing and nobody can stop You.
