ALMIGHTY GOD PREVAILS! Flee to Christ JESUS today

 

“SO MIGHTILY GREW THE WORD OF GOD AND PREVAILED.” -Acts 19:20 [KJV]

What a glorious thought to mediate upon, the Lord Jesus Christ our great God and Saviour shall prevail over all opposition to His sovereign power and glorious gospel (Romans 1:16). All creatures in heaven and earth will eventually bow to His Lordship and confess that He is Lord to the glory of the Father (Philippians 2:9-11). The Word of the Lord that mightily spread, increased and prevailed is both the incarnate Word (John 1:1, 14) and the written Word (Hebrews 4:12).

The Word of His gospel will never return to Him void but rather always will accomplish His pleasure and purpose and shall always prosper (Isaiah 55:11 & 53:10). The Lord Jesus Christ has prevailed over all and shall not fail to accomplish all the counsel, will, and predestinating purpose of God (Isaiah 42:4 & 46:9-12). Consider these few thoughts what the Lord Jesus Christ prevails over.

He PREVAILS [Greek #2480: “to have force; to be of strength”]


1). To conqueror all our enemies; “Having spoiled principalities and powers, He made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it” (Colossians 2:15).

2). To establish and bring in an everlasting righteousness for us and freely impute that unto us (Daniel 9:24; Romans 4:6). “Even as David also describeth the blessedness of the man, unto whom GOD IMPUTETH RIGHTEOUSNESS WITHOUT WORKS.”

3). To put away sin by the sacrifice of Himself at Calvary and to obtain eternal redemption for us (Hebrews 9:11-12 & 9:26). “For then must He often have suffered since the foundation of the world: but now ONCE IN THE END OF THE WORLD HATH HE APPEARED TO PUT AWAY SIN BY THE SACRIFICE OF HIMSELF.”

4). To accomplish all our salvation for us by His faithfulness unto death (John 19:30; Philippians 2:8-9). “And being found in fashion as a man, He humbled Himself, and became obedient unto death, EVEN THE DEATH OF THE CROSS.”

JESUS - Rock of Ages

Jesus remains the same in all ages. He is the One who is constant when everything and everyone else fails. He is the same yesterday, today, and forever; the Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. He is our R ock [I SAMUEL 2:2 ] . In the Old Testament, in Exodus 33, Jesus is pictured as the Cleft Rock. In that chapter, verse 18 and following, Moses desired to see the glory of the Lord, but was told, "You cannot see My face; for there shall no man see My face and live.” And the Lord said, “There is a place by Me, and you shalt stand upon a rock: and it shall come to pass, while My glory passes by, that I will put you in a cleft of the rock, and will cover you with My hand while I pass by." Notice that as Moses stood upon the rock, the Lord hid him in the cleft. This wonderfully applies to us today! Believers are both standing on and hidden in Christ [COLOSSIANS 3:3 ] . We are both in and on the Rock. As life with its many bitter events presses upon us,

CHRIST OUR ONLY AND PERFECT RIGHTEOUSNESS

" The flesh lusteth against the Spirit." —Galatians 5:17 [KJV] Christian experience fully proves this apostolic truth. Hence the children of God cannot do the things that they would: nor have we any authority from God's word to conclude this lusting ever ceased in any of the saints till they got to glory; none are delivered from it while in the flesh. For, as the renewed soul or spirit loves to enjoy spiritual and heavenly objects, so the flesh, or unrenewed part, lusts after those objects it is naturally conversant with, and from which it derives its happiness.  Here is thy conflict, O Christian. Hence the necessity of thy Lord's command, "Watch always." This is the use of the doctrine. What woeful effects have fulfilling the lusts or desires of the flesh produced in eminent saints! Thou standest by faith, be not high-minded, but fear. The conceptions of lust are the productions of sin.— see James 1:15 . The commission of sin contracts fresh s

GLORY ALONE IN THE LORD JESUS CHRIST

" Lest Israel vaunt themselves against Me, saying, Mine own hand hath saved me." -Judges 7:2 [KJV] Thus the Lord reasoned with Gideon. He knows what is in man. He sees the pride of the human heart: how prone we all are to boast in an arm of flesh. The Lord is jealous of His own glory. Gideon’s army of two and thirty thousand, is brought down to three hundred. By this handful of men, and no more, did Gideon gain the victory of the Midianites. The Lord’s wisdom in this was, “Lest Israel should vaunt themselves, and say, Mine own hand hath saved me.”   But I have not transcribed the text right. There are two little words of great import, which I have omitted. Mind then, O Christian— against Me. Now remember, whenever thou dost boast of thy power, thy free-will, thy human goodness, thy works, ditties, conditions, and performances in order to be saved, thou art then, as it were, two and thirty thousand strong. Thou vauntest thyself against the Lord . Thou art gloryi
