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.

DO YOU STILL SEE?

-
Habakkuk 2:3 For the vision is yet for an appointed time; but at the end it will speak, and it will not lie. Though it tarries, wait for it; Because it will surely come, it will not tarry. It may have been easy when we first believed, to visualize the promises. We reach out with zeal, loving God, seeking to do exploits. That was when we first believed, just as Jesus said: John 3:3 Jesus answered and said to him, "Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God." When we become born again we see God's kingdom, our spirit man is reborn and we count the flesh as nothing. Then time passes by, we are in the world, all its distractions, temptations, responsibilities, challenges and so on begin to reveal themselves. The question then is: * Can we still see heaven? John 3:3 * Are we still zealous? John 2:17 * Are we continuing in those things? Acts 2:42 * Are we walking in love? 1John 4:7 or Has the cares and worries of life and service ta

DO UNTO OTHERS . . .

-
Matthew 7:12 "Therefore, whatever you want men to do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets. It is hypocritical of us to expect people to stand with us when we are experiencing challenges yet when we see others face their own challenges, we begin to imagine what they must have done wrong or maybe they annoyed God or did one evil or the other instead of reaching out to help as we would desire others to do for us. The same thing goes for prosperity, when the Lord opens a door for us and we have abundance of wealth or a breakthrough we expect others to rejoice with us, more so, some would even find it hard to give to others. What is our reaction when someone else gets this breakthrough, do we get suddenly suspicious without reason. Do we expect the person to reach out to us? It is better to stay on the side of encouragement than to sit as a judge or prosecutor. Jesus said, Matthew 7:2 "For with what judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with the same

MY YEAR OF FULFILMENT

-
Psalms 57:2 I cry out to God Most High, to God who will fulfill his purpose for me. We just finished the book of 1Samuel, in this book we see the cry of Israel for a king and how God raised Saul to rule them. We also saw how Saul disobeyed God and lost kingship for himself and his generation. He did not stop there, he went on to seek for the death of David, whom he saw as the next heir of the throne. In chapter 31, the last chapter, we see how Saul and all his sons and men were killed, it was tragic, however it was as a sign of relief for David. We could go on counting all the struggles and difficulties we faced in the past year. No, we should not, we should begin to look at all the positives, remembering all the good things God has done for us. If He promised it, He will do it and that is what we hold onto as we go through this year. Hebrews 10:23 Let us hold tightly without wavering to the hope we affirm, for God can be trusted to keep his promise. This is the year of fulfilment, and
