It is Nothing With God to Help!


"And Asa cried unto the LORD his God, and said, LORD, it is nothing with thee to help, whether with many, or with them that have no power: help us, O LORD our God; for we rest on thee, and in thy name we go against this multitude. O LORD, thou art our God; let no man prevail against thee"- 2 Chronicles 14v11

In this passage of the scripture, Israel had been at rest for over 10 years. They were unchallenged by any other country to war. However, at this particular time, an army arose from Ethiopia and their number outweighed that of the Israelite. There was nothing the Israelite could do other than to call upon the name of the Lord. King Asa knew this secret and refused to be worried or troubled. He simply refused to be defeated despite being outnumbered. He cried out! He called upon the name of the Lord.

It is nothing with God to help; absolutely nothing, whether against millions of soldiers or just a thousand. He is our ever present help in times of trouble says the word of God. This week, just like Asa recognized, our help is in the name of the Lord our God. Lets not be defeated by the many hosts of issues we have lying around; lets refuse to be outweighed by the many afflictions, challenges and mountains around us. We have God on our side and with that assurance, we will definitely find help this week in Jesus name. If you believe with me, say Amen!
