POWER IS TRANSIENT

 The strong man hindering your prosperity shall fall and not rise again because of the anointing of God's favour upon you.

Good -Life Devotional: POWER IS TRANSIENT

 

By Rev Michael Benson Ajayi 

   Power is transient. No throne, empire, government, or earthly ruler lasts forever. History repeatedly proves the truth declared in Scripture: “I have seen a wicked, violent man spreading himself like a green tree in its native soil. Yet he passed away, and behold, he was no more” (Psalm 37:35–36 AMP). Human power may appear unstoppable for a season, but God remains the eternal Judge over all nations and rulers.

   Pharaoh oppressed Israel with brutal slavery, yet his army perished in the Red Sea (Exodus 14:27–28). Nebuchadnezzar boasted in his greatness, but God humbled him until he acknowledged that “the Most High rules over the kingdom of mankind” (Daniel 4:32). Herod accepted worship as a god, and immediately judgment struck him (Acts 12:21–23). Hitler, Stalin, Idi Amin, and many feared dictators once terrified nations, yet today they are gone, while millions still remember the destruction their pride caused. Their power could not save them from death or divine accountability.

The Bible warns, “Do not put your trust in princes, nor in a son of man, in whom there is no salvation. His spirit departs, he returns to the earth” (Psalm 146:3–4 AMP). Earthly authority fades like grass, but God’s kingdom is everlasting (Daniel 2:44).

    This truth is both a warning and a comfort. It warns leaders against pride, oppression, and corruption. It comforts the oppressed that wickedness will not reign forever. Therefore, place your confidence not in politicians, wealthy men, or earthly systems, but in Jesus Christ, the eternal King whose dominion shall never end (Revelation 11:15).

PRAYER: Heavenly Father forgive me of my sins against you I believe Jesus Christ died and was raised again for my salvation I receive him as Lord and saviour and receive the Holy Spirit and power to overcome poverty.
