THE SECRET OF VICTORY 1


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 share with others if you are being blessed reading these. It is well with us….

WHEN YOUR SAMUEL COMES

WHEN YOUR SAMUEL COMES Hannah made a vowed which GOD honors and remembered her.   1 Samuel 1 vs. 19-20: And they rose up in the morning early, and worshipped before the LORD and returned and came to their house to Ramah; and Elkanah knew Hannah his wife; and the LORD remembered her. Wherefore it came to pass when the time was come about after Hannah had conceived that she bare a son, and called his name Samuel, saying because I have asked him of the LORD.      What a wonderful GOD! She asked for a man child and He gave her exactly. She should have asked for sets of twin or triplet, which GOD would have given her. There is nothing GOD cannot do, He cannot be limited. With Him all things are possible. Mind you Hannah fulfilled her vow by giving the son back to him. Many make vows and don’t fulfill it. Be conscious of these, GOD’s way are not the ways of men, His thoughts are not ours. GOD has his own timing. His timing doesn’t match with the timing of ...

TOLERANCE

TOLERANCE I start quoting Robert Green Ingersoll “Tolerance is giving every other human being every right that you claim for yourself ”. This is a virtue every man scarcely has nowadays. Men nowadays find it difficult to tolerate each other. In all religions, Christians are to exhibit tolerance the most; because CHRIST stated that it’s the second greatest commandment. Matthew 22 vs.38-39: This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it. Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. But the reverse is the case now, most Christians exhibit intolerance. They can’t tolerate their Christian brothers talk less of those outside their religion. This is awful and not so good. Hebrews 13 vs. 1-2: Let brotherly love continue. Be not forgetful to entertain strangers; for thereby some have entertained angels unaware. Abraham exhibited tolerance, he suddenly noticed three men coming toward him and ran to meet them and welcomed them. He gave them water to wash their feet’s...

WINNING THROUGH TESTIMONIES

WINNING THROUGH TESTIMONIES 2! An earthly father will be delighted and willing to do more for his son or daughter, when she/he shows gratitude. How will you feel when you give something tangible to a person and he didn’t show gratitude? You will feel unwilling to do more for such person. Our heavenly Father deserves to be shown gratitude for all He has done in our lives. Thank GOD for what He has done in the past, what He is doing presently and what He will do in the future. There is no little testimony; you just have to appreciate GOD for his faithfulness and marvelous deeds. Marvelous deeds like, the gift of life, which is the greatest of all blessings, good health and sound mind, sleeping and waking up. Many slept and never woke up, while many find it difficult to sleep. We have to see reasons to appreciate GOD; doing these will gladden Him to do more for us.              However, problems, trials, challenges might be in...
