God Alone is a Majority!!

Is God on your side or are you on His? Is it really "God plus one is a majority?" Actually, God all by Himself is a majority! You see, He does not require any of our help to become a Winner! The implication of the statement though, is solidly credible—God does stand by His people and He unequivocally makes the difference against any odds. In His infinite mercy, He chose us unto Himself, for His glory, and our eternal good (Eph. 1). He alone is a Champion and Conqueror par excellent! Like no other He is The Deliverer, The Victor, and The Defender! It is pure wisdom and most reasonable for us to look to Him and place ourselves on His side.

As a matter of fact, He summons all peoples of every nation, kindred, and tribe to look to Him for salvation. Isaiah recording the opulent invitation says, "Look unto Me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is none else" (Isa 45:22). Why then look to another for redemption, salvation, and reconciliation? Why work for what God has already provided in matchless extravagant grace? Salvation is in a “look unto Me” says the Lord God. That is, it is faith in Him and His work on our behalf. 

Furthermore, He assures us that regardless of the tests, challenges, challengers, and obstacles that He is unrelentingly for us. Who in the universe then can possibly stand against Him who is for us? The Apostle Paul triumphantly exults, "What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us? He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?" (Rom 8:31-32). Yes, but can we take God seriously? I would suggest we must. He has already sacrificed His only most-precious Son, the Lord Jesus, in order to deliver us from the eternal consequences of our sin. Christ is indeed the completely perfect sacrificial atonement for all sin. Our Heavenly Father has bankrupt Heaven to bring us into a relationship with Himself by giving His Son at Calvary. What more could God do to demonstrate His sincerity? I think it is clear we ought to take Him extremely serious. By the way, can anything successfully oppose Almighty God? I think not.

Perhaps there is still an element of doubt lingering in your heart haunting you and extinguishing your flickering confidence in the Lord. Though this is a serious condition, it need not be. The writer of Hebrews reminds us from where our help truly emanates. He articulates, "Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee. So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my Helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me (Heb. 13:5-6). Our God is our sovereign awesome Helper and He will never forsake us for any reason. I believe we can trust God to make good on His encouraging words. There is no reason to doubt Him any longer; He who is absolutely faithful has promised. It is incumbent then upon us to take Him at His word.

Yes, I know you have been burned before by people you trusted. Perhaps it was a mother, father, friend, a spouse, or even a stranger and the decision soon proved to be an awful one. Nothing cuts deeper than betrayal! Maybe you have had a difficult time trusting folk all your life because of a series of painful betrayals. But, there is still good news; you need not fear trusting an honest God who cannot lie. In spite of the fact that your faith has been weakened by betrayers, still take courage and believe God. Consider Isaiah's counsel, "Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness" (Isa. 41:10). See, there is nothing to fear. God promised that He "will help you" and indeed He will. God is not like any other you have trusted; He is actually most trustworthy. His name is Faithful--Hallelujah!!

Therefore, fear not because our Mighty God is our Helper, He is for us, and He will strengthen us as we pursue His plans with informed passion and radical abandonment! Look to Him as your Winner, Champion, Conqueror, Deliverer, Victor, and Defender. I personally have experienced His graciousness in all these regards and know with palpable certainty, He can be depended on always. Go on...go ahead; He invites you to do so. Always treasure in your heart the reality that God alone is a majority—chose to be a winner with Him. He has already chosen you for Himself.
