Three Submissions for Victorious Living
The journey to the land of promise was like a scene out of a movie, with the red sea in front and the attackers approaching from behind to annihilate the defenseless people. There were tall mountains that jutted out to the right and left, appearing to be highly insurmountable.
How are you going to escape? Your enemies could be asking that question right now.
You must somehow draw strength from the Word of God. The Lord won't forsake us, as it is written.
And it's possible that getting to the land of your promise is beyond your reach and hope.
Do not forget that the Lord says, It is not by might nor by power but rather by my Spirit. I'm here to let you know that there's still hope.
There are valuable lessons to be learned in life. Behold, "The 3 Submissions For Victorious Living."
If only we had the patience and time to wait for God to perfect everything for us. If only we are prepared to take the extra steps I recommended in this post.
As time goes on, you will begin to see how God is orchestrating events to work in your favor.
In addition to my own life, I witnessed these principles at work in the lives of some of the people I have had the honor of knowing. I pray that the Lord will show us mercy in Jesus name.
I wish to recommend The Spiritual Warfare to you. Hundreds of readers have left me testimonies about how it has benefited them, and I would like you to experience the same.
Besides, there are numerous prayer points where you can pray personally.
1) Don't Be Frightened To Start Again By Faith.
Many people take their own lives because they are unable to find the inner strength to start over.
Suppose your life was successful, wealthy, and full of assets until you suddenly collapsed. Praise the Lord.
There's still hope for you! Turn to God in faith for restoration rather than giving in to depression and diversion. Fear will rob you and steal everything you have away from you, which is how fear differs from faith.
However, everything is possible with faith. The disciples of Jesus Christ can teach us a thing or two. Based on what Luke told us in the book of Acts
Because they spread the gospel of the Lord Jesus, Peter, John, and the other apostles were beaten, detained, and locked up.
Just before their release, they were threatened never to speak in the name of Jesus. They faced pressure from their enemies, but did they ever cave in? Never; rather, they keep preaching Jesus louder than before.
The enemy's attempt to frustrate you must not cause you to give up.You can bounce back even if you suffer a setback.
Bear in mind that the later glory usually outweighs the former. Dare to accomplish great things, beloved, just like the apostles did.
You have a magnificent destiny to fulfill; go forth in faith and be successful in the name of Jesus.
BIBLE READINGS;
For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.
2 Timothy 1:7.
Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.
Isaiah 41:10.
The Lord shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace. Exodus 14:14.
2) Follow God's Leading.
Following the leading of the Spirit is one of the best things any Christian can do for himself or herself.
Something remarkable happened in Israel thousands of years ago.
What was it, really?
It was one of the most serious economic problems confronting the Israelis.They rarely eat.
Because of the hunger in the land, the Bible hinted that some people devoured their own children.
In the midst of all that, Elisha the prophet gave some prophetic word that the situation would change the next day. It wasn't like it was going to happen, but it did!
God saved the entire nation by using four unimportant lepers. How did that happen? That miracle was greatly aided by the lepers.
The lepers were a particular kind that lived in solitary enclaves. Due to their illness, they were regarded as useless.
This goes to show you how difficult it was for the lepers to eat because the people in the city scarcely ate.
For their own survival, they made the decision to risk their lives. According to the Bible, God turned the sound of these lepers' feet to that of thousands of armies hired and recruited to fight Syrian troops as they made their way to Syrians
As a result, all Syrians, both small and great, fled their homes, leaving food and money everywhere.
Those lepers had a blast eating the finest food ever. And reported back to the city on how much fun they were having.
That was how the economic situation in the entire nation altered, as prophesied by the prophet Elisha.
What I am trying to point out here is, follow the will of God. Following the leading of God's Spirit pays.
Stop focusing on the problem. Set your eyes on God. He is a miracle working God.
Does your circumstance call for a miracle?
Pray with me, Lord God, my Father. I join these brothers and sisters in prayer by holding hands with them in faith. Lord, please answer their prayers. Demonstrates to them that you are a miracle-working God in Jesus name.
BIBLE READINGS;
Then Elisha said, Hear ye the word of the LORD; Thus saith the LORD, To morrow about this time shall a measure of fine flour be sold for a shekel, and two measures of barley for a shekel, in the gate of Samaria.
2 Kings 7:1.
Then a lord on whose hand the king leaned answered the man of God, and said, Behold, if the LORD would make windows in heaven, might this thing be? And he said, Behold, thou shalt see it with thine eyes, but shalt not eat thereof. 2 Kings 7:2.
And there were four leprous men at the entering in of the gate: and they said one to another, Why sit we here until we die? 2 Kings 7:3.
If we say, We will enter into the city, then the famine is in the city, and we shall die there: and if we sit still here, we die also. Now therefore come, and let us fall unto the host of the Syrians: if they save us alive, we shall live; and if they kill us, we shall but die. 2 Kings 7:4.
And they rose up in the twilight, to go unto the camp of the Syrians: and when they were come to the uttermost part of the camp of Syria, behold, there was no man there.
2 Kings 7:5.
For the LORD had made the host of the Syrians to hear a noise of chariots, and a noise of horses, even the noise of a great host: and they said one to another, Lo, the king of Israel hath hired against us the kings of the Hittites, and the kings of the Egyptians, to come upon us. 2 Kings 7:6.
Wherefore they arose and fled in the twilight, and left their tents, and their horses, and their asses, even the camp as it was, and fled for their life.
2 Kings 7:7.
3) God Is Bigger Than Your Problems
God is greater than our problems. No matter how big or small your problem, God will make a way for you. He has the answer.
Abraham is one man whose faith has stood the test of time. He is mentioned in the Bible as a friend of God and the patriarch of all peoples.
Abraham was said to have had transcendental faith that took no condition into account. Have faith that God is bigger than the issue you are currently facing.
As humans, we have a tendency to whine about our problems, but God gave us Abraham as an example of how to overcome our problems by faith.
Abraham never paid any thought to the changes in his body's chemistry that disqualified him from becoming a father.
But he knew in his heart that God was larger than his issue, and in the end, we witnessed how God had stepped in. That faith brought about the birth of Isaac.
Abraham's Faith is the kind we should aspire to.
Consequently, because the God of Abraham is our God, What He did for Abraham He will also do for us. Never allow yourself to fall into the fallacy that the problem is too enormous.
BIBLE READINGS;
Therefore it is of faith, that it might be by grace; to the end the promise might be sure to all the seed; not to that only which is of the law, but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham; who is the father of us all,
Romans 4:16.
(As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,) before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were. Romans 4:17.
Who against hope believed in hope, that he might become the father of many nations, according to that which was spoken, So shall thy seed be. Romans 4:18.
And being not weak in faith, he considered not his own body now dead, when he was about an hundred years old, neither yet the deadness of Sarah's womb: Romans 4:19.
He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God. Romans 4:20.
