TOPIC :
DON'T EQUATE GOD

Read: 2 Kings 18:32

MEMORISE:
"Who among the gods is like you, O Lord? Who is like you majestic in holiness, awesome in glory, working wonders
(Exodus 15:11)

It is natural for man to try to use comparison. They want to know who is the best in a class, or group of people. They may want to know which tree is the tallest, and who is fatter, thinner or smartter, etc. Sennacherib in the wake of his numerous victories, became tempted to equate God with the gods of other lands, he conquered. He did this at his own peril. He could not come to term with the fact that, God helped him to win all the battles he had so far fought. He thought his achievements came as a result of his strength or military prowess. We must realise that, it is not by power or might, but by my spirit says the lord …show more content…

He is greater than the greatest of all. Comparing God to the gods or anyone, only shows our level how ignoramus we are, and the shallowness of our understanding of Him. God passes all. He is supreme and sovereign. Like Sennacherib, there are situations and circumstances that belittle God in our lives. They try to make us see God as minute, incapacitated, insignificant, powerless, frail, etc. Take tutorial from Hezekiah and deal with those taunting cases, like Sennacherib was dealt with (2 Kgs 19:35-37). More importantly, report them directly to God who has the best punitive measure. Do not subscribe to people, situation that make jest of your God.

PRAYER POINTS
1. Lord, silence all the battle that are trying to make me lose the sight of your bigness
2. Lord, continue to prove and glorify yourself in our nations and let unbelievers come to know You as Lord.
3. Give the believers the power to testify of You, even in the face of toughest persecution or challenge.
