Introduction
“I am the LORD, and there is no other; apart from me there is no God.” ~ Isaiah 45:5a (NIV)
In a world obsessed with opposites – light versus darkness, good versus evil, love versus hate, humanity has fallen into the trap of believing that even the Almighty has an equal and opposite force. But here stands the most liberating truth ever declared: God has no opposite.
Beyond our comprehension, God still reigns. Go as high or as deep as you like God is already there. He isn’t just one influence among many. He’s the source, the ultimate reality.
The enemy of your soul wants you to believe in a cosmic wrestling match where good and evil are locked in eternal struggle, where God and Satan are somehow equal opponents trading victories. But this is the greatest deception ever sold to mankind. There is no competition.
Biblically, Satan isn’t God’s rival. He’s a created being who rebelled. Evil isn’t God’s equal; it only exists wherever God’s goodness is refused like darkness, which is simply the absence of light. Sin doesn’t rival God’s might; it’s just humanity turning away from His perfect way.
The human mind, limited by finite understanding, sees circumstances and cries “Where is God?” But eternal reality declares a different truth entirely. From heaven’s perspective, there are not two kingdoms at war, there is one Kingdom, eternal and unshakeable, and everything else is temporary rebellion that has already been defeated. They understand that after God permits something, it’s still God who has the final word. When God allows difficulty, it’s still God working all things together for good.
THE SOVEREIGNTY OF SEASONS
The enemy wants you to believe that your current situation is evidence that God has lost control, that evil is winning, that darkness has overcome light. But the truth that will set you free is this: there is no “after God” where God is not still God.
Many believers make the mistake of thinking God is only present in the good times and absent in the difficult ones. They worship Him on the mountaintop and question Him in the valley. They praise Him for the blessing and blame circumstances for the burden. But mature faith recognizes that the same God who sends the sunshine also sends the rain. The same God who opens doors also allows some to close. The same God who provides also allows us to experience need, not because He’s lost control, but because He’s working a plan far greater than our comfort.
After your season of abundance, when the season of scarcity comes, it’s still God. After your season of health, when sickness visits, it’s still God.
After your season of joy, when sorrow knocks at your door, it’s still God orchestrating events for purposes that transcend your immediate understanding.
THE VICTORY THAT’S ALREADY WON
This is what the enemy doesn’t want you to know: the battle is already over. The victory has already been won. The question was already settled at Calvary. Everything you see that looks like opposition to God is simply the death throes of a defeated foe who’s trying to take as many people down with him as possible.
Jesus didn’t come to fight Satan; He came to demonstrate that there was never really a fight. He didn’t come to engage in cosmic warfare. He came to show that God’s authority was never actually challenged, only temporarily ignored by rebellious creation.
When Jesus said “It is finished,” He wasn’t just talking about your salvation. He was announcing the end of the illusion that anything or anyone could truly oppose the will of Almighty God.
CONCLUSION
After your worst day, it’s still God. After your greatest fear materializes, it’s still God. After your deepest disappointment, it’s still God. After your final breath, it’s still God waiting to welcome you home.
The God who was before anything else existed will be after everything else has passed away. He is the Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the End, the First and the Last.
And in between all of those moments, in the middle of your confusion, your pain, your questions, and your struggles, it’s still God. Always God. Forever God. Only God.
