A
reminder for today
These
Philistines were descendants of the giants of Gath, but David and his warriors
killed them. (1 Chronicles 20)
How did you do in your challenges yesterday? Were you
victorious or did you slip here and there? I had some victories and I had some
loses as well. It is funny how little things can sometimes make us slip and
fall when we could actually defeat the enemy and listen to the voice of God and
follow His direction. A huge advantage that the enemy has over us from time to
time must be anger and humility. We get angry over nothing and we tend to place
our own needs ahead of others even when it isn’t necessary. These tiny things
in life can so quickly become giants that we struggle with each day and later evolve
into self-idolising and fear.
My dear friend, we must mobilise our prayers and focus on
the things that we think is insignificant, because they lead to greater loses
in our lives. David and his warriors defeated the giants of Gath. You and I need
to defeat these tiny giants in our lives in order to be fully victorious in
Jesus Christ. The enemy knows our weaknesses and he will continue to taunt us
where we are vulnerable. It is important that we place these issues at the feet
of Jesus and ask Him to help us defeat them and to open our hearts and ears so
that we will follow His advice when we are faced with the same situation. When we
do not allow our own selfish needs to take away the opportunity of displaying
the love of Jesus, then our victories will be so much greater. So my dear
friend, that brings me to our victory verse for today.
He
must become greater and greater, and I must become less and less. (John 3:30)
The greater Jesus is in you and the less you will allow your
own selfishness to determine the outcome of every situation, the stronger you
will be with the lesser slip ups.
“Purpose
gives rise to discipline, restraint, and self-control, which are crucial,
fundamental tools for success in the journey of life.” ― Pedro Okoro
Have and awesome day dear friend of Jesus
