GREATER IS HE
Blessings in the Mighty Name of Yeshua Hamashiach!
1 John 4:4 AMPC
Little children, you are of God [you belong to Him] and have [already] defeated and overcome them [the agents of the antichrist], because He Who lives in you is greater (mightier) than he who is in the world.
God is truly greater than anything in the world. Christ’s followers will encounter false teachers. Yet God is greater. Christians will face hardships, and sorrows, and all sorts of troubles. God is greater. Believers will be let down and hurt by others, but God is greater than all of that. God is greater than one’s worries, fears, and concerns. God is greater than the enemy who roams around like a lion looking for someone to devour (see 1 Peter 5:8).
Earlier in this letter, the apostle John wrote that believers are beloved children of God (see 1 John 3:1). The love Jesus has for His children is deeper, wider, and more real than any other love. Christians truly have nothing to worry about because God is greater than anything they will encounter in this world, including the enemy who tries to wreak havoc in their lives.
It is, therefore, imperative for every believer to keep God first and to seek Him whenever they are going through a difficult time. Believers go to Jesus because He is greater than anything else and is the only one that can provide the help and saving grace needed.
Do not allow your faith in Yehovah-Jireh to be weakened by the enemy through the deceitfulness of false prophets, teachers, and fallen preachers. Instead, draw closer to Jesus than ever before and live the life of, "greater is He that is in me than he that is in the world."
Shalom
