I Samuel 14:6 NKJV “Then Jonathan said to the young man who bore his armor, “Come, let us go over to the garrison of these uncircumcised; it may be that the Lord will work for us. For nothing restrains the Lord from saving by many or by few.”
When God is set to move, He doesn’t need a multitude of people on His side, neither does He need many resources; He’s unrestrained, unlimited, nothing at all hinders Him; many times, all He needs is just a man, or a few who are willing to trust in Him. When God is leading you to do something, it’s a mistake for you to think that you must have enough of everything before you make a move; understand that God Himself is everything you need!
God does not like to share His glory with anyone. That’s why He will rather use one man to achieve the results that would have required one thousand men to achieve! That’s what God said to Gideon, “The people who are with you are too many for Me to give the Midianites into their hands, lest Israel claim glory for itself against Me, saying, ‘My own hand has saved me.’” When God is moving you to do anything, don’t say that you don’t have supporters, or enough capital, or sponsors; God is more than enough to get the job done!
Don’t restrain God with your thinking! When Elisha prophesied, “Hear the word of the Lord. Thus says the Lord: ‘Tomorrow about this time a seah of fine flour shall be sold for a shekel, and two seahs of barley for a shekel, at the gate of Samaria.’ An officer on whose hand the king leaned answered the man of God and said, “Look, if the Lord would make windows in heaven, could this thing be?” That man did not know God! No wonder Jesus said we err because we do not know the scriptures or the power of God.
Jesus fed thousands of people with five loaves and two fish; God used Samson to defeat thousands; He used Jonathan and his armour bearer to deliver a nation, and He used a little boy, David, to defeat a giant called Goliath. I encourage you today to trust God. Ignore the mountains, ignore the challenges, ignore all the reasons why it shouldn’t work; when God is on your side, anything is possible.
