A
reminder for today
Satan
rose up against Israel and caused David to take a census of the people of
Israel. (1 Chronicles 21:1)
It is Thursday and what a week it has been so far. How are
you my dear friend and are you succeeding with your challenges or are you struggling
with them? When I read this verse I thought
for a moment that it must be me. This week I have been burdened with a number
of challenges and difficult choices. I feel that the enemy launched a huge
attack to try and defeat me at every corner. I have had personal challenges,
physical challenges and work challenges. Each taking its toll on my spiritual well-being
that led to a point where I felt tired. Where are you in your battles? Are you
winning or are you also at a point where you are beginning to feel the strain?
I realised yesterday that I am trying this on my own. I am
not giving God His rightful place to defeat my worries so that I can stand in
awe once again of His amazing love. My dear friend, the enemy will rise up
against us each and every day. Yes, and
everyone who wants to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will suffer
persecution. (2 Timothy 3:12) To rise up and be victorious we are still
going to face many battles, but the great thing about that is, you are not
alone. We are fighting this battle together and we will succeed every day. Come
with me today on our journey of victories as we give it all to Jesus and live
for His glory. I say “Come what may! Give me your best satan, because within me
lives an almighty God. I will fear nothing!”
God
blesses those who are persecuted for doing right, for the Kingdom of Heaven is
theirs. God blesses you when people mock you and persecute you and lie about
you and say all sorts of evil things against you because you are my followers. Be
happy about it! Be very glad! For a great reward awaits you in heaven. And
remember, the ancient prophets were persecuted in the same way. (Matthew
5:10-12)
“God
expects you to have the mentality of a conqueror. See yourself as a victor in
Christ Jesus, and go about life with a holy swagger!” – Pedro Okoro
Have and awesome day dear friend of Jesus
Cheers
