Psalms 128:12-17 KJV.
They compassed me about like bees: they are quenched as the fire of thorns: for in the name of the LORD I will destroy them.
Thou hast thrust sore at me that I might fall: but the LORD helped me.
The LORD is my strength and song, and is become my salvation.
The voice of rejoicing and salvation is in the tabernacles of the righteous: the right hand of the LORD doeth valiantly.
The right hand of the LORD is exalted: the right hand of the LORD doeth valiantly.
I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of the LORD.
\”And he said, Hearken ye, all Judah, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem, and thou king Jehoshaphat, Thus saith the LORD unto you, Be not afraid nor dismayed by reason of this great multitude; for the battle is not your\’s, but God\’s\”. (2Chronicles 20:15) KJV.
The battle you\’re facing in the course of life is not yours, stand your ground be still and calm while the Lord is fighting on your side.
Today, God wants you to know that the battle is not yours , it\’s the LORD\’s. Whenever you feel like giving up or you\’re down, weak, overwhelmed and seems as if you can\’t pull yourself together remember that your strength comes from the Lord. Don\’t you dare to give up, God has an amazing things in store for you. The Psalmist says
I lift up my eyes to the hills. From where does my help comes? My help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth. (Psalms 121:1-2).
During your trials, God will help you and He Shall strengthen you and you shall prevail in Jesus name amen. The times of trials and challenges are the most crucial moment in a person\’s life. It\’s the time to either fail forward or fail backwards but if you stay with the Lord and continue with Him, He makes your battle easy to defeat the enemy and will cause you to inherit eternal life through Christ Jesus.
There are battles from all sides to overcome; strategies on how to deal with them as many wars that are wage against you. As you remain steadfast in bringing your wars before God, He stands with you at all times. Jehoshaphat tried it and he recorded a great testimony of how God defeated their enemies that fought them from all fronts.
When some men came to Jehoshaphat informed him that a vast army is coming against him from Edom, from the side of the sea, they also told him that the enemies are already closed up very near at Hazan- Tarma. This brought despair to Jehoshaphat, he then turned to God to remind Him of His old standing relationship with their fore-fathers whenever they turned to Him for help
\”Jehoshaphat resolved to inquire of the Lord and he proclaimed a fast for all Judah. The people of Judah came together to seek help from the Lord Indeed they came from every town in Judah to seek the Lord. He said \”O Lord of our fathers are you not the God who is in heaven? You rule over all kingdoms of nations. Power and Might are in your hands and no one can withstand you\”.
O our God, did you not drive out those who lived in this Land when your people Israel arrived? And did you not give this land over to the descendants of your friend Abraham? Your people settled here and built this Temple to honour your name. They said Whenever we are faced with Calamity such as war , Plague, or Famine, we can come to stand in your presence before this Temple where your name is honoured. We can cry out to you to save us and you will hear us and rescue us\”. ..Read. (2Chronicle 20:1-9) NLT.
\”Then, led by Jehoshaphat, all the men of Judah and Jerusalem returned joyfully to Jerusalem, for the Lord had given them cause to rejoice over their enemies\”. (2Chrononicle 20:27).
Has the Lord given you cause to rejoice over your haters- enemies; those who have already condemned you before others. Those who have written you off who think since I can\’t get anything from you again Therefore you\’re NOBODY, NO USE , As such labelled you \”Persona Non Grata\”. Move-On! Do not yield to their BLACKMAILS!!
\”The Lord will fight for you, and you have only to be silent.” (Exodus 14:14). When the Lord is fighting for you. Be intentional in your approach; you need to be silent and watch how the battle will end. In this case SILENT is GOLDEN. You need not say anything even in the presence of Provocation Refuse to let your Guard Loose. Aim at upturning any negative impression about you by setting a better pace to shame your Mockers instead of being perturbed by what they say against you.
Your detractors do not have peace of mind until he/she pulls you down pray always habitually for with God you can bring down mountain “What are you, mighty mountain? Before Zerubbabel you will become level ground. Then he will bring out the capstone to shouts of ‘God bless it! God bless it!”(Zechariah 4:7). You can put your name in place of ZERUBBABEL. Use your mouth to declare the word and call upon God to honor His word in your month by making the words you declared come through.
