VICTORY WILL COME WITH BATTLE

-

Exodus 5:22-23

Then Moses went back to the Lord and protested, “Why have you brought all this trouble on your own people, Lord? Why did you send me?

Ever since I came to Pharaoh as your spokesman, he has been even more brutal to your people. And you have done nothing to rescue them!”


When there is a promised victory, don't be surprised by the battle.


Jesus said:


John 16:33

I have told you all this so that you may have peace in me. Here on earth you will have many trials and sorrows. But take heart, because I have overcome the world.”


The battle you are facing is a sign of the victory you are about to celebrate. You must see beyond the obstacle.


Understand that as a believer every obstacle stands as a distraction, you must not lose focus of the goal.


Pastor Adeyemi said: (paraphrased) "Never focus your mind on the trees (obstacle) that it does not become your target, focus on the target instead".


There will always be challenges, don't dwell on them see beyond them to the victory.


When the Lord says "Go", He must have taken care of the obstacles, you need faith to surge ahead. That is why scripture says:


Hebrews 11:6

And it is impossible to please God without faith. Anyone who wants to come to him must believe that God exists and that he rewards those who sincerely seek him.


You cannot walk with God, if you don't have faith. Faith removes fear.


That is why we see again and again in scriptures:


"Do not be afraid . . .".


Moses brought the message of deliverance to the children of Israel who were in bondage, the initial request brought more suffering to them.

The oppressor seemed to be an insurmountable foe. They cried and cursed at Moses and Aaron.


We shouldn't be that way, what we need to do is to focus on the author of our message, the Heavenly Father Himself, for no power can stop His plans, what He says He will do, trust that He will.


John 3:31

“He has come from above and is greater than anyone else. We are of the earth, and we speak of earthly things, but he has come from heaven and is greater than anyone else.


Ephesians 4:6

one God and Father of all, 

who is over all, in all, and living through all.


God is much bigger than who or whatever is an oppressor to us, when the Lord comes for us, they will bow and submit for His hand is surely powerful to deliver.


2 Timothy 4:18

Yes, and the Lord will deliver me from every evil attack and will bring me safely into his heavenly Kingdom. All glory to God forever and ever! Amen.


Glory to God.


Don't let the battle bring you down, arise in victory for the Lord is on your side.


We win.


He calls us blessed.


Love

@the watcher.

MAINTAIN A GODLY MARRIAGE

-
Judges 13:2-3,6,10 In those days a man named Manoah from the tribe of Dan lived in the town of Zorah. His wife was unable to become pregnant, and they had no children. The angel of the Lord appeared to Manoah’s wife and said, “Even though you have been unable to have children, you will soon become pregnant and give birth to a son. The woman ran and told her husband, “A man of God appeared to me! He looked like one of God’s angels, terrifying to see. I didn’t ask where he was from, and he didn’t tell me his name. So she quickly ran and told her husband, “The man who appeared to me the other day is here again!” We live in times when the institution of marriage is being destroyed from in and out of the church. Divorce rate is high and many are in a marriage but are not happy therein. What is the problem? God has been taken out of the equation. How? Jesus said: Matthew 19:8 Jesus replied, “Moses permitted divorce only as a concession to your hard hearts, but it was not what God had origina

Remember: God is in control.

As we go through the 11th month of this year of accomplishment, let us be reminded. When it seems to hurt so much, or it all looks quiet and alone, when it appears not to work out. Please don't give up, God is still in control Hebrews 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. My dear it is not about how you feel, and not about what it seems, it is about what He Has promised and He who promised is sure to keep His Word. Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope. Jeremiah 29:12 " Then you will call upon Me and go and pray to Me, and I will listen to you." God is in control and His plans for you are good. He has already done it. Romans 4:21 " and being fully convinced that what He had promised He was also able to perform." Have a

IF HE SAID IT, HE WILL DO IT

Joshua 21: 43-45 So the Lord gave to Israel all the land he had sworn to give their ancestors, and they took possession of it and settled there. And the Lord gave them rest on every side, just as he had solemnly promised their ancestors. None of their enemies could stand against them, for the Lord helped them conquer all their enemies. Not a single one of all the good promises the Lord had given to the family of Israel was left unfulfilled; everything he had spoken came true. If the Lord promised it be rest assured that He will bring it to pass. The One He gave the promise to believed it whole heatedly and proved it by His obedience. The same with his son and further on to his grandson. Hebrews 11:8-9 It was by faith that Abraham obeyed when God called him to leave home and go to another land that God would give him as his inheritance. He went without knowing where he was going. And even when he reached the land God promised him, he lived there by faith—for he was like a foreig
