Let no man prevail against thee

“And Asa cried unto the LORD his God, and said, LORD, it is nothing with thee to help, whether with many, or with them that have no power: help us, O LORD our God; for we rest on thee, and in thy name we go against this multitude. O LORD, thou art our God; let not man prevail against thee.” - 2 Chronicles 14v11

How many men does God need to win a victory?

Shortly after Asa became king of Judah he set about restoring true worship to the land. He tore down the idols and their high places. Asa was one of the few who chose to follow the Lord.

He faced a major challenge when an Ethiopian army that out numbered him by about two to one confronted him. His roughly half million men faced a million man plus army.

Asa had enough faith that he was not troubled by this massive army. He simply called out to the Lord with a cry of faith, “It makes no difference to you Lord to save with many, or by those who have no power. We rest on thee and in thy name we go forth and no man will prevail against you.”

Asa knew that the physical numbers meant nothing. With God on our side we will prevail at the end of the day. The next time you feel outnumbered or alone, remember that it makes no difference to God to save by a great number, or with a weak powerless few.
