YOU SHALL PREVAIL : THE BATTLE IS THE LORD'S

  


By Rev Michael Benson Ajayi  

"With him is an arm of flesh; but with us is the Lord our God, to help us and to fight our battles.” And the people were strengthened by the words " II Chronicles 32:8 NKJVBible 

"Now the Egyptians are men, and not God; And their horses are flesh, and not spirit. When the Lord stretches out His hand, Both he who helps will fall, And he who is helped will fall down; They all will perish together."

Isaiah 31:3 NKJVBible 

    The believer's life involves confronting the challenges of life both physically and spiritually . Not all challenges are spiritual , all that may be required in some cases is knowledge of a physical process. For example , boiling a kettle of water for tea is a problem that should not be considered as a spiritual problem. 

    Treat physical problems as requiring physical solutions and spiritual problem as requiring spiritual solutions.

  The enemy is a spirit but operates in the physical more than the spiritual . An example was the case of David and Goliath. Goliath was more qualified physically to win the battle but David knew there was power beyond the physical that dwells in the anointed of the lord  "Then David said to the Philistine, “You come to me with a sword, with a spear, and with a javelin. But I come to you in the name of the Lord of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied." I Samuel 17:4 NKJV

   The lord will not let the opposition prevail against his anointing . " Arise, O Lord , Do not let man prevail; Let the nations be judged in Your sight. Put them in fear, O Lord , That the nations may know themselves to  be  but men. Selah"Psalms 9:19‭-‬20 NKJVBible  It may seem the enemy is stronger but their strength is neutralized . The bible says the enemy is nothing but noise " They cried there, ‘Pharaoh, king of Egypt, is  but a noise. He has passed by the appointed time!’" Jeremiah 46:17 NKJV

     God determines the outcome of every battle , not human intelligence or might . It is important to ask the lord about the outcome of a battle before engaging yourself in it. 
"A horse is a vain hope for safety; Neither shall it deliver any by its great strength".
Psalms 33:17 NKJV and " For they did not gain possession of the land by their own sword, Nor did their own arm save them; But it was Your right hand, Your arm, and the light of Your countenance, Because You favored them. But You have saved us from our enemies, And have put to shame those who hated us." Psalms 44:3‭, ‬7 NKJV
    We are not to trust in human might to overcome our enemies. The Bible says "Through You we will push down our enemies; Through Your name we will trample those who rise up against us. For I will not trust in my bow, Nor shall my sword save me." Psalms 44:5‭-‬6 NKJVBible We are not to fear or be intimidated by the power of human influence. 
  The Bible says "The Lord  is my light and my salvation; Whom shall I fear? The Lord  is the strength of my life; Of whom shall I be afraid? Though an army may encamp against me, My heart shall not fear; Though war may rise against me, In this I will  be confident." Psalms 27:1‭, ‬3 NKJVBible
 Prayer: Heavenly father forgive me of my sins against you I believe Jesus Christ died and was raised again for my salvation I receive him as Lord and saviour and receive the Holy Ghost and power to escape the plans of the evil one in Jesus name.

BREAK EVIL FAMILY PATTERNS

Image
 By Rev.Michael Benson Ajayi  Titus 1:12 -14 "One of themselves,   even a prophet of their own, said, The Cretians   are alway liars, evil beasts, slow bellies.  This  witness is true. Wherefore rebuke them sharply,  that they may be sound in the faith;  Not giving  heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of  men, that turn from the truth."       The church in Crete was in disarray and the apostle assigned Titus to go and put things in order . On investigation it was discovered the church suffered from a vicious cycle of evil family  patterns. They were not enjoying the fruits of the salvation experience . An example of evil family patterns is that of King David who defiled Uriah's wife ,murdered him and his son Absalom murdered his brother Amnon (2Sam13) dethroned him and defiled his concubines openly (2Samuel16). His son Amnon defiled his sister Tamar (2Sam.13) and so on yet David was the anointed of the Lord....

COMMON CAUSES OF DISUNITY.

Image
 By Rev Michael Benson Ajayi "Even some men from your own group will rise up and distort the truth in order to draw a following."Acts 20:30 NLT   "An angry person starts fights; a hot-tempered person commits all kinds of sin." Proverbs 29:22 NLTBible        Disunity is defined as : disagreement and conflict within a group. It is the greatest hindrance to the promotion of the gospel of Jesus Christ. Disunity creates an avenue for Satan to promote sin.       The causes of disunity are not farfetched ,they include : Unhealthy Crave for power or self- promotion. Whenever there is an unhealthy pursuit of influence in a family or group it results in resistance. Self-promotion gives birth to unfair practices and injustices. In Numbers 12: 1-15  Moses' sister Miriam and Aaron rebelled against him desiring to rule by force and in Numbers 16 :1-35 Korah led an insurrection against Moses desiring to be part of leadership. In both cases ,God wa...

CONSEQUENCES OF LACK OF FAITH

Image
By Rev. Michael Benson Ajayi " Be careful then, dear brothers and sisters. Make sure that your own hearts are not evil and unbelieving, turning you away from the living God." Hebrews 3:12 NLTBible  ' Then he said to Thomas, “Put your finger here, and look at my hands. Put your hand into the wound in my side. Don’t be faithless any longer. Believe!”John 20:27 NLTBible     Faith is the guarantee of the manifestation an unseen reality . It is the reason behind the hope we have in God and the fulfilment of his promises. It is the substance ( title deed) of things hoped for ,the evidence of things not seen (Hebrew 11:1) .The Bible warns against not having faith in God. Lack of faith is equal to calling God a liar and untrustworthy. This type of reasoning turns us into enemy's of God.    The gospel is so much under attack by the activities of faithless religionists . They plan to replace the holy scripture with humanistic dogma. The danger in this is the relative...
