“But now, O Jacob, listen to the Lord who created you. O Israel, the one who formed you says; do not be afraid, for I have ransomed you. I have called you by name; you are mine. When you go through deep waters, I will be with you. When you go through rivers of difficulty, you will not drown. When you walk through the fire of oppression, you will not be burned up; the flames will not consume you. For I am the Lord, your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior. I gave Egypt as a ransom for your freedom; I gave Ethiopia and Seba in your place. Others were given in exchange for you. I traded their lives for yours because you are precious to me. You are honored, and I love you. Do not be afraid, for I am with you. I will gather you and your children from east and west. I will say to the north and south, bring my sons and daughters back to Israel from the distant corners of the earth. Bring all who claim me as their God, for I have made them for my glory. It was I who created them.” Isaiah 43:1-7.

God had given every one of us a life, a dream, a vision and a desire to help in enhancing our lives on earth. It is in having a life and actually living in this world that all the dreams, all the visions, all the desires and all the godly expectations will be completely fulfilled, celebrated and honored and our lives given the respect it deserves. When God gives life, He also makes every provision for that life to be celebrated and honored irrespective of what the devil might ever do against that life. In God’s sight, every life irrespective of color, race, please of birth, profession, and place of residence is very valuable and should be honored, respected, and be willing to be submissive to His divine truth, grace and power, while the devil wants every life subject to all of his evils and wicked manipulations, disgraced, dishonored, disrespected and humiliated.

Unlike Adam and Eve who gave up their birthrights to the devil; we have to stand up and stand on the words of God and His desires to declare that we will definitely be fulfilled, celebrated and honored in this very life irrespective of the current challenges we might have. We have to stand on and rely on the unchanging truth in the gospel of Jesus Christ to have our godly desires, our godly expectations fulfilled according to the dreams, the visions and words of God for our lives. Without standing on what God had said, the devil will cheat us and take away that which God had given to us as he did to Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. All that Adam and Eve needed to do when confronted by the devil was to stand on the words of God to them irrespective of the pressure and throughout the duration of that encounter with the devil.

It is our bold declarations that matter and not our fears and shame when the devil come knocking with all of his challenges and plans to disgrace and humiliate us. When we are bold enough to declare the truth of the gospel and completely stand on and rely on the words of God, then we will be able to stand against the devil and have him defeated in all of his ways against us despite all the delays, all the frustrations, all the shame, and all the humiliations. The devil can stand against us in many ways, but he cannot stand against the gospel of Jesus Christ and His goodness in our lives; he can challenge and seek to hinder our ways, but he can never hinder the ways of God for our lives; that is because our God can, and will definitely make away even through the most dangerous wilderness and through the most dangerous rivers that the devil will ever place on our ways to hinder our ways, our dreams and our being fulfilled as God had said.      

Without life and without living, there are no advantages of dreaming, having a vision, a desire and maintaining an expectation. The most important thing despite all expectations, dreams and visions and desires is that you are alive and living and I am very grateful that you have life today and are living with an expectation. You will not fail, your expectations will be fulfilled and you will be celebrated because God said it and also gave you a dream to live for.
