Champions Meal WINNING WARS This life is full of battles. In itself, it is a battle. Every phase in life launches you into higher dimensions of confrontations and oppositions that you need to overcome in order to move on. For some, the battles of life breed murmuring, and enforce stagnation while for others these hurdles are only platforms for rising to prove the giant in them. Have you come to a level where the sound of war does not intimidate you? We do not pray for physical wars but we have forces contending with our physical, spiritual and mental balance and progress from time to time. As champions we must be equipped to confront and overcome rising challenges and oppositions. As believers, our foundational basis for winning the battles of life is the help of the LORD. Joshua’s leadership of the people of Israel was full of wars, and in-fact full of victories. His life is worth studying. Joshua 10:7-15 reveals one of those wars that point us to how victory is attained when the enemies oppose. Verse 14 says; “And there was no day like that before it or after it, that the LORD hearkened unto the voice of a man: for the LORD fought for Israel” KJV. God is interested in your battles, 2Chron. 20:15. Hand them over to Him because it is God’s help that secures our victory in every battle. So how do you access God’s victory in the battles of life? • Pray! Praying to God is a sign of humility and submission. What you do not commit to Him, He is not under obligation to be committed to. Take your battles specifically to God and leave them to Him. When God fights for you, your enemies are turned into scape goats; they are doomed and your triumph is sure. The fighting ring is too small for you and God to occupy, opt out and let Him turn you into a spectator of your own battles. When He wins your battles, He hands over the trophy to you. Do not however forget to give Him all the glory. • Receive Strategy! God has a strategy for every battle He fights. His ways are not ours. Do not be carried away by your former victories. Be quiet in prayers to know how He wants to deal with this present situation. In 2Sam. 5:17-25, David was opposed by stubborn enemies; problems that refuse to respect fasting and praying, reoccurring sicknesses. At the first instance as he prayed, God gave him a strategy and they won the Philistines. These enemies went to re-strategize. In verse 23, David again went to God for a new wisdom and war strategy, he did not brag on the last win. God gave him a new strategy and as he kept to the new plan, victory was upheld. • Implement His Strategy! When God fights for us, He has a strategy that we must keep to. When it is His war, it must be done His way; your professional practise is not the key when it comes to the battles of life. In 2Chron 20:20-24, all the people had to do was to sing to God, and God unleashed His unbeatable winning strategy. When God fights for you, your long standing problems are buried with ease. Our championship is embedded in keeping to God’s strategies in warfare. So, go and seek God’s face for His thoughts concerning that pressing issue you have been facing. Access His ways and walk victoriously out of them. His ways are your surest escape routes. Keep winning. God bless you! ‘Deji David Olanrewaju facebook/arisenetworkchampionsfamily twitter/dejidavido
