GOD HAS YOU ALL COVERED
“No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is of me, saith the LORD.” Isaiah 54:17 (KJV)
Beloved, God is saying here that He has you all covered. When the destroyer says he wants to destroy you, God says no weapon that has been formed against you will prosper. You will have an answer for anyone who accuses you. The scripture says in another translation: “this is your inheritance and your victory comes from God.” It means that you are not depending on your own strength or on any man but on the Almighty God. When God is elevating you, He can use anyone including your enemies. So, don’t be surprised when your adversity becomes a tool towards your advancement. I declare to you today that any area of challenge you may be facing, you will see God’s hand in that very area.
Joseph’s brothers thought they were stopping his dream by selling him. They didn’t know they were sending him forth into his destiny and next level. God ensured that their plans never prospered. The same brothers who wished him evil were the ones who advanced his destiny. Child of God, your Father is in control; He knows how to move things in your favour and give you pleasant surprises.

You must also understand that the battle you are involved in is a representative battle; It’s fashioned by representation. God created Adam and put the whole of humanity in him. Then God asked Adam to reproduce in His kingdom what He had put in him. However, the enemy deceived Adam and Eve and separated them from God. Consequently, every person born by them inherited that separation. But the devil did not have the final laugh. God was up to something. In the fullness of time, God released his joker through the second Adam, Jesus. Christ has defeated the devil in his own domain. That is why I know you will defeat every obstacle this year.
