What do you trust in in times of
warfare? Is God your backup in battle? Battle in life is a reality and one
should prepare oneself to win at all times.
The forces that are for you determine your failure or success in life.
This post emphasizes God as the ultimate backup in the battles of life.
What shall we then say to these
things? If God be for us, who can be against us? – Romans 8:31(KJV).
And he answered, Fear not: for they
that be with us are more than they that be with them – 2 Kings 6:16(KJV).
Every day, people face one battle
or another, whether in their minds or physically. However, whether they win or
lose is determined by what they trust in, what is backing them up. People
depend on so many things, which can be categorized under three forces: man,
devil and God. Each force has a level of power and authority, but the ultimate
is God.
MAN
Man is greatly
limited in his ability to save, help or deliver. He can only help based on what
power and authority he has and how long he can hold unto it. He becomes
stronger if he is connected to either God or the devil. Also, his inability to
live (Psalm 37:2) forever limits him greatly.
DEVIL
The devil had
authority and power over man (due to the fall of man in the Garden of Eden,
Luke 4:6) until Jesus defeated him on the cross. Now he only has authority over
unsaved souls and saved souls that are ignorant of who they are in Christ.
GOD
God is the
creator of the universe; He created both the devil and man. In addition, He
lives forever, which enables Him to decree a thing and ensure it is done. He is
the Almighty and every other thing is subject to Him. He is the Beginning and
the Ending (Revelations 1:8) and what He says stands. It is therefore wisdom to
connect with this God who is all and all. Read more...
