THE BATTLE IS THE LORD’S

Scripture: Judges 7:16-22

“…Thus says the LORD to you: 'Do not be afraid nor dismayed because of this great multitude, for the battle is not yours, but God's.” 2 Chronicles 20:15 (NKJV)

 Gideon and his 300 men defeated the enemy despite the odds against them. They defeated them not because of their power, wisdom or skill but simply because God was with them. It was God who set the Midianites against themselves
until they were totally destroyed. The battle is the Lord’s, the victory is ours.

Whenever you face a situation that seems impossible, remember that your victory is not based on your ability, skill, personality or resources. Your victory is based on the power of God. If God is with you, then you are assured of victory. The Bible says when the enemy comes in one way, they will flee in seven ways, this is because God will set them against themselves. You will not have to fight in the battle. All you need to do is stand in faith and believe God that the battle is won.

Your victory comes by doing things God’s way rather than yours. Be sensitive to God’s leading and instruction on the matter. For Gideon, he was to light torches, smash pitchers and give a shout. For Joshua, it was to walk round a city and then give a shout (Jos. 6:20). What God will tell you to do may not seem relevant to the task at hand but what he requires is your obedience. Your obedience is the basis on which God will act because the battle is his and he will fight for you.

PRAYER:Lord, I hand over all the battles in my life to you, I am still to hear what you will ask me to do and I will do it in Jesus name.

FAITH BYTE:I am more than a conqueror in all things because God loves me.
