\u2018Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever\u2019 Heb.13:8<\/a><\/i><\/p>\n

Jesus the express image of the invisible God rode into Jerusalem. There was so much celebration and people were laying down their cloths. However, way back, an event took place that can be likened to the one that took place in Jerusalem at the time of Jesus. There was a time when the Jews went to battle carrying the ark of God. The ark of God signifies the manifest presence of God amongst His people. Yet today Jesus says \u2018where two or three are gathered together in My Name there I am in their midst<\/i>\u2019. They carried the ark to battle and the ark was captured, imagine God being captured. The philistines captured the ark and put the ark with their god dagon and went to sleep. By the time they came back, dagon was bowing down flat before the ark of God. They looked around, the windows were shut and the doors were locked. So they brought dagon back up, their thoughts were after all he is a god and you are a God. Jehovah says \u2018no, I Am God alone, by Myself<\/i>\u2019. By the time they came back dagon was not only lying face down, its hands and head had been chopped off. God can fight for Himself! When they discovered this they were certain that the God of the Jews had come to cause problems and true to their speculations God began to deal with them. God dealt with the five gods and five princes of the philistines, and the whole nation. Consultation revealed that the ark that they had carried was a grave mistake. They were advised to take it back but with a sin offering \u2013 an apology offering expressing remorse. What is the challenge that you are faced with or who are the people who have vowed to oppose you? Turn it over to God and watch Him crush it like He did with dagon. God is the same yesterday, today, and forever. You need to know that God can fight for Himself and as long as you dwell within His secret place, you fall under the territory that He will protect. He is God all by Himself. When God restores you, those same people will come back to plead with you. Remember, the victory is God\u2019s.<\/p>\n
