Often, we see Christians who aren’t enjoying their lives, and they’re not sure what the problem is. Some point to human enemies as the cause of their misfortune: “My enemies must be at work,” they grumble. They even start praying against their perceived enemies. Such Christians are in the wrong place; they’re not living in the Word of God.

 

We read in our opening verse that no weapon formed against you shall prosper. So, if the weapons formed against a Christian are prospering, then something is wrong! When the plans of the enemy are actually working against you, it’s not because the weapons are too strong; and it’s not God that’s unable to do something about your situation. The problem is, you’re wrongly positioned.

 

Recall what the Lord said to the children of Israel when the death angel was coming to town; He said, “…when he seeth the blood upon the lintel, and on the two side posts, the LORD will pass over the door, and will not suffer the destroyer to come in unto your houses to smite you” (Exodus 12:23). The death angel came to destroy, but the children of Israel were preserved. All they needed to do was to stay inside their houses. As long as they stayed indoors of the blood-marked house, it didn’t matter the danger outside; they were preserved!

 

So, stay where you’re supposed to be—in the Word; in Christ! That’s the environment of safety, preservation and victory. When you live in, and by, the Word, you’ll always be triumphant. Christianity is so simple. The life of victory in Christ is very simple. Jesus said, “Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock: And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock” (Matthew 7:24-25).

 

Make the Word your dwelling place; be a doer of the Word, and you’ll always win.
