THE
SECRET OF VICTORY 1
A secret is a knowledge that is hidden. The word
victory implies an instance of having won a competition or battle. Every man on
earth has a battle to fight. This life is not a bed of roses; challenges will
appear, confrontations will rise, difficulties will show up, storms will rage. John 16 vs. 33: These things I have spoken
unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In this world ye shall have
tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world. CHRIST told
us He has overcome the world. Battles, challenges, confrontations makes a man
weary. It saps a man’s strength. A man’s energy and wisdom will fail him at the
battle field of life. A man trusting in chariot and horses will be knocked down
in the battle field of life. Pharaoh and his men trusted in their chariots and
horses; but they ended up in the Red sea. The Psalmist wrote in Psalm 20 vs. 7: some trust in chariots and
some in horses; but we will remember the name of the LORD our GOD. Only GOD
can win every battles of life. Only HE is indomitable in the battle field of
life. The Psalmist wrote in Psalm 24 vs.
7-8: Lift up your heads, O you gates and be you lifted up; you everlasting
doors and the king of glory shall come in. Who is this King of glory? The LORD
Strong and Mighty, the LORD Mighty in battle. He told the Israelites
through Moses in Exodus 14 vs. 14: The
LORD shall fight for you, and you shall hold your peace. Only HE can fight
for you, only HE can fight against your adversaries. Only HE can make you victorious
in the battle field of life. He saves not with sword and spear. That battle is
not yours; it’s of the LORD’s. 1 Samuel
17 vs. 47: And all this assembly shall know that the LORD saves not with sword
and spear; for the battle is the LORD’s, and he will give you into our hands. The
Israelites’ secret of victory in the battles they faced was GOD. But GOD made
their enemies punish them, when they go against his will. That secret of
victory is GOD. To be victorious you must know GOD and do his will. To be victorious
righteousness must be your watchword. To be victorious your way must please
GOD. Proverbs 16 vs.7: When a man’s ways
please the LORD, He makes even his enemies to be at peace with him.
David said I cannot go with these; for I have not proven them. And he put
them off Saul’s armor, helmet of brass upon his head and sword. He had
something he has proven, he had something he depended on. This was the secret
of his victory against Goliath, he told Goliath; you come to me with a sword,
and with a spear, and with a shield; but I come to you in the name of the LORD
of host, the GOD of the armies of Israel whom you have defiled. 1 Samuel 17 vs. 45-46: Then said David to
the Philistine, you come to me with a sword, and with a spear, and with a
shield; but I come to you in the name of
the LORD of hosts, the GOD of the armies of Israel whom you have defiled. This
day will the LORD deliver you into my hand; and I will smite you, and take your
head from you; and I will give the carcasses of the host of the Philistine this
day to the fowls of the air, and to the wild beast of the earth; that all the
earth may know that there is a GOD in Israel. There is still a GOD called
the Mighty Man in battle, that battle, confrontations, difficulties,
challenges, sorrow you are facing is not yours. You can’t fight alone; you have
to trust in the name of the LORD. This write up continues tomorrow, kindly
