DO NOT BE INTIMIDATED BY SIZE AND STRUCTURE OF THE OPPONENT

 DO NOT BE INTIMIDATED BY SIZE AND STRUCTURE OF THE OPPONENT

  The Israelites were God's chosen people by covenant between God and Abraham. It was revealed to Abraham that they will be in bondage for four hundred years as a result of their rebellion against God. 

    After their great deliverance from Pharaoh's army they encountered several battles while pressing on their way to the promised land. They were given these rules of engagement with the enemy  “When you go out to fight your enemies and you face horses and chariots and an army greater than your own, do not be afraid. The lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, is with you! 

When you prepare for battle, the priest must come forward to speak to the troops. 

He will say to them, ‘Listen to me, all you men of Israel! Do not be afraid as you go out to fight your enemies today! Do not lose heart or panic or tremble before them. 

 For the lord your God is going with you! He will fight for you against your enemies, and he will give you victory!’  Deuteronomy 20:1-4

     In our battles in life we must understand that  we are not to underestimate or overestimate any challenge. It is by faith that we  overcome life's challenges . As a reminder of our need for him, God allows very difficult challenges to rise against us. They appear indomitable but God will want you to approach the problem without fear .

  Fear is as a result of the lack of trust in God's ability to provide for us. It is based on human selfish wisdom . 

   Even when human analysis does not favour you , that does not mean you shall be defeated. It is God's battle , not yours. The bible says , when Pharaoh was in hot pursuit of the Israelites , they became afraid . Yes, the fear was justifiable humanly speaking, He was better equipped and well structured unlike the structureless Israelites, but God said " "The lord himself will fight for you. Just stay calm.”  Exodus 14:14

    Victory in the arena of the physical starts with acknowledging our victory in the spirit   David  saw himself defeating Goliath before the fight likewise we must learn to see our victory through the eyes of the spirit .

 The bible says in 1John5:4 " For  whatsoever is born of  God overcometh the  world: and this is the  victory that overcometh  the world, even our  faith." You shall overcome 

  Prayer : Heavenly Father forgive me of my sins against you I believe Jesus Christ died and was raised again for my salvation i receive him as lord and saviout and ask to be filled with the Holy Spirit and power for victorious living in Jesus name.
