Several times as children of God we are buffeted by the storms of life
that we wonder if God can really hear us. The pain gets so devastating that we
consider throwing in the towel at the slightest provocation at this point. Some
of us declare that this was not what they expected or sign for, thus, they look
for every way to bail out. Friend, there
will always be storms whether you are in Christ or not. The difference and
consolation we have is that in Christ, He is with us all the way. He promised in His word that He would never
leave nor forsake us. The Bible clearly tells us that we do not wrestle against
flesh and blood (Ephesians 6:12) but against wicked spirits in high places. They
inhabit certain situations to torment us but if we fail to understand and see that
God had promised not to leave nor forsake us, there is the tendency to become a
victim. Are you buffeted by debts, your promotion withheld, you have done
everything but cannot find a decent and befitting job? Don’t be discouraged God
is at work on your behalf. You might argue that you had been praying for years
and nothing seem to be coming out of it. It is time to take the offence! Our
God takes the offence but His children are always playing defense. God has gone
on the offensive on our behalf, it is for us to walk as victors and conquer and
not walk before Him as cowards, doubters or fearful – these nullify the
conquests we ought to receive in Him. When the children of Israel were about to
cross the Jordan in Deuteronomy 9: 1-6, God told them about the fearsome and
undefeated giants in the land that He had given them as an inheritance. The
land is theirs and anyone that is occupying it must leave, that is the command
of God. Is the enemy struggling with you in your finances, peace, home, job or
your academics, it has no stay permit there it must LEAVE! Do remember that in
the Scripture above, it was God who drew the attention of the people to these
giants as He drew your own attention by confrontations, dreams, word of
knowledge and revelation to the giants facing you. Just as He told the people
of Israel He is equally telling you not to be afraid but believe and receive His
victory that He is handing over to you today. He says He has gone before you
like a Consuming Fire to devastate and subdue your enemies, then you must enter the land and chase them
out. The power for them to hurt you is taken away, however for this to be
activated in your life; you must receive, believe and walk in this TRUTH! Whenever
fear comes to remind you of this situation tell it that you already have the
victory over it. God’s confidence is released unto you mightily in Jesus Christ
name. God bless you.
"When Abram was ninety-nine years old, the Lord appeared to him and said, “I am God Almighty; Walk [habitually] before Me [with integrity, knowing that you are always in My presence], and be blameless and complete [in obedience to Me]" (Genesis 17:1, AMP). A while back, I overheard a conversation between two young men; both were wondering how a person can be and remain holy in a world that daily encourages you to exhibit and enjoy every self-indulgent pleasure one desires. Of course, they knew the Scripture in Psalm 119:9-11, which describes how a young man can keep his way pure, but they feel it is increasingly becoming difficult to discern the way of the Lord from the world system. To them, many Pastors and children of God have been won over by the kingdom of darkness to subvert the principles of God as written in the Bible. They were not wrong, in light of some of the teaching coming from the pulpits! The above ...
