Numbers 23:23 ‘Surely there is no enchantment against Jacob, neither is there any divination against Israel: according to this time it shall be said of Jacob and of Israel, What hath God wrought!

DAILY READING –  Mark 4:21-41; 2 Samuel 11-12; Daniel 6

The Holocaust is one of the most terrible events in human history. It is seen by many as perhaps the ultimate manifestation of evil. In a systematic annihilation, Hitler killed  over 6 million Jews. Hitler’s hated for the Jews was unprecedented, he blamed them for Germany losing World War I. Even before he  became the German leader, he had said in his manifesto that he planned to rid Germany of all the Jews. Though, many people didn’t think he was serious, as soon as he came into office, he began his systematic destruction of the Jews. He made laws that said Jews had no rights. Then he organized attacks on Jewish businesses and homes.

During World War II, whenever the Nazis took over a city in Europe they would send  the Jewish people to concentration camps. The stronger Jews were forced to do hard labor, while the weak, old and sickly  were quickly killed in gas chambers with poison gas. Yet despite all these persecutions, the Jewish people remained indestructible. And today, despite all they passed through, Israel has become one of the most successful nations on earth. Indeed the blessings of God upon the Jews have overshadowed and superseded the hatred of their enemies. Truly,  if God be for you, who can be against you?

The example of Balaam shows the power of God’s blessing will always overcome the enemy’s attack against a people who are walking in covenant with the Lord.

Balaam was one of the most famous sorcerers in the ancient times. Balak’s own kingdom of Moab almost certainly had a plethora of diviners. But because none was capable of cursing Israel, he sent emissaries nearly 400 miles to plead with Balaam to come and curse the people of Israel on his behalf.

Balaam tried three times to speak a curse upon Israel, yet he was unable to penetrate God’s protective shield around His people. The book of Numbers, chapter 23 tells us that every time Balaam opened his mouth to speak a curse, a blessing came out instead. Finally, Balaam conceded that divination was no match for the power of God. He told  Balak, “How shall I curse, whom God hath not cursed? Or how shall I defy, whom the Lord hath not defied?” It was simply impossible for a curse to be pronounced where God had pronounced a blessing!

The same holds true today. By shedding His blood at Calvary Christ has brought us into a new covenant relationship with God. And by the strength of that covenant we have become untouchable and uncursable. The story of Balaam serves as a perpetual reminder that what God has blessed is blessed, and that fact cannot be reversed. Therefore when you are in Christ and walking in obedience to God’s Word, you are safe, secure, and sealed in the protective blood of Jesus.  It doesn’t matter how much anyone may hate you, it doesn’t how much they may have tried to send spells, enchantment or curses against  you. In Numbers 23:23 Balaam confessed and said ‘Surely there is no enchantment against Jacob, neither is there any divination against Israel: according to this time it shall be said of Jacob and of Israel, What hath God wrought!

Therefore today be assured that the blood of Jesus which speaks better things than the blood of Abel, will continue to speak in your favor. By the precious blood of Jesus we are separated from all evil. Therefore cast off the fear of any voodoo, juju or dudu having effect upon you. Just concentrate on maintaining an intimate and holy walk with The Lord. When you are in Christ, you are the blessed of the Lord — and what God has blessed, no one can curse!

PRAYER;  Father, I rejoice that I am the blessed of The Lord and protected by the blood of Jesus Christ. Therefore whatever the enemy plots against my destiny, the opposite will happen. And whatever was  meant for evil, my God shall turn it around for my good in Jesus Name.
