An In-Depth Look at the Unbreakable Covenant and the Unstoppable Power of God

BIBLICAL FOUNDATION:

BASIC SCRIPTURE: Numbers 23:20-26; Romans 8:31-39
MEMORISE: “For there is no enchantment against Jacob, neither is there any divination against Israel: according to this time it shall be said of Jacob and of Israel, What hath God wrought!” (Numbers 23:23, KJV)

Message: The Unstoppable Power of a Blessed Life

Today’s message is not just a devotional thought; it’s a powerful, unshakable declaration of your spiritual security. The Bible states in Numbers 23:23, in a truly awe-inspiring proclamation, that “there is no enchantment against Jacob, neither is there any divination against Israel.” This is a profound and unchanging truth. It means that no curse, no magic, no evil incantation, and no satanic device has any power to touch you, your family, or your destiny. When God stamps “blessed” on your life, it is an uneditable, unbreakable decree.

This truth is beautifully illustrated in the story of Balaam, a man so steeped in the dark arts of cursing that he was a legend in his time. He was, to put it simply, a “super professor emeritus in the university of curses.” Kings and nobles from all over the land hired him to unleash his potent curses on their enemies, and he was handsomely paid for his services. If cursing were a sport, Balaam would have been a record-breaking gold medalist. He was, in every sense, a man of profound wickedness and spiritual malevolence.

But one day, Balaam met the wrong enemy. King Balak of Moab, terrified by the advancing Israelites, hired Balaam to curse them. The contract was sealed, and the expectation was that Balaam’s curses, which had destroyed nations, would effortlessly bring down this new threat. But what Balak didn’t know, and what Balaam was about to find out, was that he was dealing with a people under a divine covenant.

When Curses Backfire: The Story of Balaam

The encounter between Balaam and the Israelites is a masterclass in divine sovereignty. Every time Balaam opened his mouth to curse the Israelites, something miraculous and infuriating happened. God Himself took control, placing a “tongue-twisting” spirit on him. When he intended to speak words of death and destruction, his words were supernaturally transformed into blessings and prophecies of greatness. For example, where he intended to say, “let misfortune be upon you,” he was forced to declare, “let great fortune be upon you.” This was an infuriating experience for a man whose reputation was built on cursing. He tried three separate times, from three different vantage points, but each attempt was met with the same result: blessings instead of curses.

This is a powerful lesson for us today. You are the wrong person for any evil power to mess with. The enemies of your destiny might be plotting against you, holding secret meetings to discuss your downfall, or even hiring spiritual mercenaries to curse you. But they will find that your life is a no-go zone. You are under a divine protection that cannot be penetrated by any form of magic or divination.

I decree upon you today:

Those who hate you will suddenly begin to like you, not by your own doing, but by the irresistible force of God’s grace.
Those who curse you will suddenly begin to bless you, compelled by the sovereign power of God.
Whatever is meant to break you will end up making you stronger, wiser, and more powerful.

Hold on and hold out, because your God-ordained blessings cannot be edited by demons, principalities, or any evil power.

The Unbeatable Defense: A Deeper Look at Romans 8

The reason for this impenetrable defense is found in Romans 8:31-39. The Apostle Paul poses the ultimate question: “If God is for us, who can be against us?” This isn’t a question of whether enemies will come against us. They will. It is a triumphant declaration of confidence in the outcome. When God is on your side, the battle is already won.

Paul goes on to list everything that could possibly come against us: tribulation, distress, persecution, famine, nakedness, peril, or sword. He concludes with this triumphant declaration: “I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.” (Romans 8:38-39).

This means that no power, no curse, and no enemy can edit the blessings that God has decreed for your life. You are a child of the King, and you are covered by an eternal, unbreakable covenant. Your spiritual heritage is secured not by your strength, but by the unwavering power of God’s love.

A Call to Confidence and Praise

Today is not a day for fear or doubt; it is a day for confidence and praise. Instead of worrying about what your enemies are doing, start praising God for what He has already done. Your praise is a powerful weapon that confuses the enemy and strengthens your spirit. It is the language of victory.

Remember that God is not just an observer; He is an active participant in your life. He is with you in every challenge, and He is working all things together for your good.

I declare to you today: You shall never be stranded! You shall be helped, and God is sending you protocol-breaking helpers and blessings that cannot be edited!

Prayer

Father, I thank You because my blessings cannot be edited by any enemy. I declare that no curse or satanic device has power over my life and my family in Jesus’ name. I command every tongue that is meant to curse me to be twisted and turned into blessings. I declare that whatever is meant to break me will end up making me. Father, as You did for Balaam, put a permanent “tongue-twisting” spirit on my enemies. I declare that my life and my destiny are a no-go zone for any evil power. Let my life be a living testament to Your power and Your unwavering love, in Jesus’ name. Amen.

FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)

Q1: What is the difference between an “enchantment” and “divination” as mentioned in Numbers 23?

A: Enchantment and divination are both forms of magic or spiritual practices used to manipulate or harm people. Enchantment refers to the use of charms or spells, often through spoken words, to cast a curse. Divination is the practice of foreseeing or influencing the future through supernatural means, such as magic or sorcery. Both are explicitly forbidden by God, and this verse assures us that they have no power against those who are in covenant with Him.

Q2: Does this mean I will never face problems or attacks from the enemy?

A: No. The Bible makes it clear that we will face trials and spiritual warfare. However, this verse promises that these attacks will not succeed in their ultimate goal: to curse you and destroy your destiny. The enemy can try, but their efforts will be powerless and will ultimately fail because you are protected by God.

Q3: How do I activate this promise in my life?

A: This promise is a part of the covenant God made with His people. You activate it by living a life of faith and obedience to God. When you trust in Him and live according to His Word, you are operating under His divine protection. You can also actively declare this promise over your life in prayer, trusting that God’s Word is true and powerful.

Question and Answer

Q: The story of Balaam is fascinating. Why didn’t God just strike him down immediately? Why did He go through the process of “tongue-twisting” him?

A: This is a brilliant question that gets to the heart of God’s character. God could have easily destroyed Balaam. He is all-powerful, after all. However, God chose to demonstrate His sovereignty in a far more dramatic and public way.

By “tongue-twisting” Balaam, God accomplished several things:

He Humbled a Proud Man: God publicly humiliated Balaam, a man who prided himself on his power to curse. He showed Balaam and all who watched that even the most powerful curse-speaker in the world was utterly powerless when he came up against the will of God. It was a clear and undeniable message that God alone is in control.

He Demonstrated His Unconditional Love for Israel: This act was a profound sign of God’s protective love for His people. He didn’t just protect them from the curse; He turned the curse into a blessing, showing them that His promises were unshakeable.

He Gave a Timeless Testimony: The story of Balaam is not just a historical event; it’s a timeless testimony to all of us. It is a dramatic and unforgettable object lesson that teaches us that when we are in a covenant relationship with God, no weapon formed against us will prosper. It is a source of hope and encouragement for every person who feels like they are being cursed or attacked by the enemy.

God’s choice to twist Balaam’s tongue was not a display of weakness but a powerful, creative, and irrefutable demonstration of His supreme authority over all things, including the plans and schemes of the enemy.
