Are You Unstoppable?

Text: Jer. 1: 19

“' They will fight against you, But they shall not prevail against you. For I am with you,” says the Lord, “to deliver you.”

To be unstoppable is to be without restraint such that nothing is able to pull you back from whatever it is you set out to achieve. To be unstoppable is to be sufficiently empowered such that you are able to overcome limitations and whatsoever may constitute a stumbling block to whatever you seek to achieve in life. To be unstoppable is to have ability to subdue all powers and forces of life that are able to stop a man from achieving set goals in life.

When anyone claims to be unstoppable therefore, such a person is either directly or in directly saying that he has gained total control over forces, powers, situations and circumstances of life that can pose as a threat to the achievement of his set goals. A lot of people claim to be unstoppable but when you look at them and their life in the light of their claim, you are led to make the conclusion that it is either they do not know the implication of what they are saying or they are just playing with words, either way they are not being truthful to themselves and that can lead to some form of complications in their life.

In the light of the explanation given above regarding what it means to be unstoppable, we find that only God is unstoppable, even the devil is stoppable. And we see so many instances of this in the bible, for example, he once purposed to ascend to heavenly heights and usurp God’s throne, authority and influence, but he could not achieve this lofty agenda because God stopped him (Isa. 14: 14-15). After the death of Moses, he attempted to harvest his soul and lead him to hell but again the Lord stopped him (Jude 1: 9). We also see enough examples from scriptures to proof clearly to us that man also is stoppable, whether they form a collabo, to put up a united front or they choose to operate alone they can be stopped. In Gen. 11: 1ff, we read the story of how the people living on earth came together to jointly carry out the project of building a tower that will reach to the heavens, in their unity they were formidable, even God acknowledged this fact, but in spite of that, God stopped them. Pharaoh made up his mind to enslave the children of Israel for life, he claimed that not even God could not stop him (Exod. 5: 1-2), but God stopped him.

Apart from God, the devil also can stop people from achieving their set goals, men can stop their fellow men, and situations and circumstances can stop people from achieving their goal. The wind and the waves will have stopped Peter’s attempt to walk on the sea, if not that Jesus intervened (Matt. 14: 22-33), just like Peter, there are people that circumstances of life that can be described as wind and waves has been stopping them from going ahead to become what they should become for God (Eccl. 11: 4).

Only God is truly unstoppable, not just because He claims to be, but nature, life’s experiences and most important of all, scriptures proves it. If man or the devil was able to stop the sun or the moon from shining, they certainly would have done so, but every day the sun and the moon comes and goes as it has been decreed by the Almighty God. There are people today who by their testimonies are addressed as persons that God did not kill. Because they went through situations that naturally should have killed them, some were fed with poison, some suffered accidents so terrible that no one can explain why they are still alive other than to say that God did not kill them, in other words, the death that was planned for them by either man or the devil was stopped by God. I pray for someone reading this right now that whatever is that trouble, problem, disaster or death planned for you or any of yours, the Almighty God stop it now in Jesus name. Amen.

Therefore since God is unstoppable, all those who are connected to Him can be unstoppable as well. One of the things that God does for His children is that He gives them ability to be unstoppable. He does this so as to make sure that no one stops them from the assignment He has assigned to them. When He called Prophet Jeremiah, He told Him that people will do all sort of things to him in an attempt to stop him, but that he will be unstoppable (Jer. 1: 18-19). Apostle Paul experienced a lot of persecution, his life was threatened on many occasion all in a bid to stop him from what the Lord has asked him to do, but the Lord told him clearly that he was unstoppable (Acts 23: 11). After failing in his attempt to use men to stop, the devil also attempted to use the storm but right in the midst of the storm apostle Paul remained unshaken and he was not only rescued, but for his sake all that were with him in the ship were rescued as well (Acts 27: 21-25).

As a child of God, engaged in the pursuit of God’s purpose for your life, you are unstoppable, because the king’s assignment requires haste (1 Sam. 21: 8), and no one can successfully pose as an obstacle to the fulfilment of the assignment. So if you find yourself being stopped successfully from the pursuit of your goal, then you need to stop and find out whose errand you are running – is it your own errand or God’s errand? You become stoppable when you begin to run your errand.

If you find that you are guilty of running your errand rather than running God’s errand, all you need do is to repent, ask God to forgive and retrace your step by dropping your own assignment and pick up His assignment, you will find that every attempt to stop you will fail. Of course they will make attempts but they will not prevail. Shalom.
