God’s war instrument!
Verse for Today: Friday, November 16,
2012
Joshua 10:42 – All these kings and their lands Joshua
conquered in one campaign, because the Lord, the God of Israel, fought for
Israel.
When God works for His people, they are mere instruments in
His hands. He uses them at the right time in the right way to work for Him. He
controls their movements and actions. He directs their pathways to go forward
to destroy the enemy and capture the promises given to them. But the enemy tries
to prevent God’s people from moving forward. The enemy creates obstructions,
hindrances and blockages on their way and intimidates them through fears and
phobias. The enemy will try to show them the fierce consequences if they move
forward on God’s pathways. He will try to discourage God’s people and give them
words of worldly wisdom which might give them seemingly smarter ways. But the
end of it will be destruction. But God leads His children in mysterious ways.
He gives them victory over fiercest attacks of the enemy. He goes before His children
and fight for them. He gives them confidence and courage to move forward even
when the way seems rugged and rough. When we march forward, we would see that
our Lord has gone before us to prepare our way. He watches over us and protects
us from every evil move of the enemy. He uses us to fight the enemy. When we
are unwilling to relent in the wake of all the obstructions the enemy creates,
it shocks the enemy to retreat. But he will reemerge at unexpected times to intimidate
us. But our Lord is the victor over all the wiles of the enemy and will defeat
his every move. We know this by faith and such faith is in the power of our
Lord who helps us to trust Him to get greater victory as days go by. Our war is
His war and all our battles are His. Our victory is His victory with His means
which include us as His warriors.
Dear readers, when you win a battle in your life of faith,
know for sure that your Lord has secured this victory through His mighty power.
His power and strength are demonstrated
through the way He handles our enemies who are primarily His enemies. When God
fights our battles, He uses us as instruments to fight the enemy. Perhaps today
your cluttered circumstances can be your enemy as the enemy of your soul would
have tried to darken your situations. But your Lord brightens your dark
pathways with His light. When the enemy takes away what belongs to you, the
Lord comes to supply your every need. When you are deprived of your legitimate
rights, the Lord gives you greater privileges in His presence to enjoy. The
Lord fights your discouragement and anxiety by strengthening your faith to
trust Him for your every situation. He fights your physical ailments with the Balm
of Gilead. When the enemy shuts your legitimate doors, the Lord comes to open
it for you which no man can shut. When you fight the enemy of grief, the Lord
comes to give you hope against hope. When the enemy makes you lonely, the Lord
comes to give you new friends and fill your vacuum with Himself. When you are
emotionally weak, He comes to fill you with His Spirit so that you will have
the strength from the joy of the Lord. In poverty, He will feed you with the
heavenly bread and quench your every thirst with His Spirit and Word. You are
challenged today to be a fit instrument in His hands. He wants you to be His weapon
of faith to fight the Goliaths and enemy kings. Our battles in life belong to
the Lord and our victory comes from Him day by day.
Deuteronomy 1:30 – The Lord your God, who is going before
you, will fight for you, as He did for you in Egypt, before your very eyes, and
in the desert.
Thought for Today
Every physical,
emotional and carnal enemy will be subdued by the Lord for His children.
