HE IS YOUR SAVIOUR

“And I will feed those who oppress you with their own flesh, and they shall be drunk with their own blood as with sweet wine. All flesh shall know that I, the LORD, am your Savior and your Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob.” – Isaiah 49:26 (KJV)
Beloved, when God begins a work in your life, He will always bring it to completion. It doesn’t matter who or what is harassing, oppressing, or contending with you; God will handle them. He has declared that by the time He is done, all will know that He is your Savior and your Redeemer. Speaking of Jesus, the angel told Joseph: “…you shall call His name Jesus, for He will save His people from their sins.” (Matthew 1:21)
But salvation doesn’t stop at forgiveness of sins. The word “save” in the Greek (sozo) means to rescue, deliver, preserve, heal, prosper, and make whole. When you call upon the name of Jesus, you are running into a fortress of complete safety and provision. You are secure from the arrows of the wicked, the winds of adversity, and every form of lack or oppression.
He fed the children of Israel for 40 years in the wilderness. Their clothes never wore out, their shoes grew with their feet, and they lacked nothing. That same God is your Saviour.
Even if today your pockets are empty, your tomorrow is pregnant with provision. You may not be able to explain how it will happen, but you will build houses. You will buy properties. You will handle levels of wealth you’ve never touched before. You will sign amounts you once only dreamed of. Why? Because your Saviour is involved.
He will contend with those who contend with you. He will spring surprises in your favor. Those who thought they had caged you will watch in shock as you rise above their limitations.
