Irrespective of the evil schedule working against you and your progress, irrespective of the pains and sufferings you have encountered, irrespective of the uncomfortable situation you find yourself, and irrespective of the delays, that evil schedule against you will not work out as they had intended. God is watching over you because of your faith in Him, because you believed in Jesus Christ, and because of His interest in your life and in your future, He will keep you till you see the transformation proceeds of your salvation, till you experience the change you deserve in Him, and till you enjoy the fullness of His promises to you as His child. Because you have come to know Jesus Christ, you have accepted Him, you are following Him and you believed in all of His words, Satan and his host had scheduled to humiliate you, to disrespect you, to destroy you, to kill you, to misuse you, to frustrate you, to underpay you, and to give you all the discomfort you never believed will happen to you; they have agrred to discourage you without reason, and to cause disappointments in your life at ll times, God will not allow their plans.

Esau plotted against his brother Jacob but did not succeed because Jacob had been covenanted to the promises of God to Abraham through the prayers of Isaac; did you know that you are in covenant with the Almighty God through the blood and prayers of Jesus Christ? God is there to fulfill His scheduled plans in your life irrespective of the pans against you, He is with you and will sustain you till His schedules are fulfilled and He is there to see that you are what He had said and fulfilled what He had planned and destined for your life. In every battle that God is involved, He is always a winner and in your case, He will also win irrespective of the current situation, understanding, location and the current celebration of your enemies over your life. In the eyes of Esau, Jacob was not fit to die, he was scheduled to be killed, but unknown to him, God had scheduled his greatness and his continuity in the blessings and promises and wealth He gave to Abraham.  

“Esau said, “Isn’t he rightly named Jacob? This is the second time he has taken advantage of me: he took my birthright, and now he’s taken my blessing. Then he asked, haven’t you reserved any blessing for me? Isaac answered Esau, I have made him lord over you and have made all his relatives his servants, and I have sustained him with grain and new wine. So what can I possibly do for you, my son? Esau said to his father, do you have only one blessing, my father? Bless me too, my father. Then Esau wept aloud. His father Isaac answered him, your dwelling will be away from the earth’s richness, away from the dew of heaven above. You will live by the sword and you will serve your brother. But when you grow restless, you will throw his yoke from off your neck. Esau held a grudge against Jacob because of the blessing his father had given him. He said to himself, the days of mourning for my father are near; then I will kill my brother Jacob. When Rebekah was told what her older son Esau had said, she sent for her younger son Jacob and said to him, your brother Esau is planning to avenge himself by killing you. Now then, my son, do what I say: flee at once to my brother Laban in Harran. Stay with him for a while until your brother’s fury subsides. When your brother is no longer angry with you and forgets what you did to him, I’ll send word for you to come back from there. Why should I lose both of you in one day?” Genesis 27:36-45.

God will preserve you for His name sake, for His love sake, for His promises and for the blood of Jesus Christ that washes away your sins. He was faithful in preserving Jacob, preventing the evil plot against him to succeed, so will also preserve you and watch over you until you are established in His promises. Click here for prayer
