GOD’S ARMIES ARE HIDDEN FROM YOUR SIGHT.

No matter what the enemy comes up with against you; God’s Word remains true. The Scriptures cannot be broken. When the Syrains encompassed Dothan in a bid to capture Elisha who the King of Syria saw as a serious obstacle to his efforts aimed at overrunning Israel; Elisha and his servant seemed so defenseless, at least, that was what Elisha’s servant thought.
Waking up early in the morning; he noticed that an host had encompassed the city with horses and chariots. He went to Elisha in fear and anguish and proclaimed –
“Alas, my master! How shall we do?” (2kings 6:15): invariably – we are finished. Unknown to him; God’s armies hidden from his sight were far more than the foes that surrounded them, seeking to catch in on them. It was only after Elisha prayed to the Lord that the young man’s eyes be opened; that, he discovered that the Syrians armies came rather too late. Before their arrival, the armies of the Almighty God were round about Elisha. True to Scriptures – “as the mountains are round about Jerusalem, so the Lord is round about His people” (Psalm 125:2).
What Elisha’s servant saw when his eyes got opened, was something beyond his wildest imagination. Whereas the Syrian host came with physical horses and chariots; Elisha’s servant saw that the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire round about Elisha. How does mechanical chariots compare with chariots of fire, already aflame against anything termed opposition? He discovered that God’s armies hidden from his sight were more equipped and in a fierce battle readiness against the host of Syria that had arisen against them.

Friends! God is too faithful to fail. You can count on His ability to safeguard you any day and any time. He is the God that keepeth Israel and He will neither sleep nor slumber. It doesn’t matter what the enemy comes up within seeking to hijack your peace and to halt your colourful destiny; God has a better version that will render obsolete the preparation of the enemy. He is the God of all flesh and there is no preparation earmarked against you, that He cannot break through.
No matter how “early” they come; they will soon discover that they came too late, because God will always be there before their arrival. No matter how equipped they feel they are; they cannot beat the arsenal of the One Who alone stands as the Father of all spirits, the Head of all principalities and power. You are tattooed on the palm of His hands and your issues are continually before Him.
