VALIANT WARRIOR

Text : Judges 6:12. 

The angel of the LORD appeared to him and told him, “The LORD is with you, you valiant warrior!”

God called Gideon a valiant warrior because that is who he was destined to be, but he didn't see himself in that light at all.

Like Gideon, many of us are fed up with the evil that surround us, yet it hasn't occurred to us that the miracle we have been praying for already lies within us.

You can always tell the size of a man's greatness by the size of problem that comes his way. But a man's victory is not determined by his size but by his understanding of his true identity.

David was able to kill Goliath not because he was bigger than Goliath in size, but he was way bigger than Goliath in heart, and because he had a true understanding of who he was.

David told the Philistine, “You come at me with a sword, a spear, and a javelin, but I come to you in the name of the LORD of the Heavenly Armies, the God of the armies of Israel whom you have defied.1 Samuel 17:45.

David knew he carried with him the Lord of the  the heavenly armies, and he did wonders because of this understanding. This is the same consciousness that God opened the eyes of Gideon to, and this is same consciousness that God wants to open you up to.

When God was seeing a valiant warrior in Gideon, he was busy using his family background to judge and limit himself.
The LORD looked straight at Gideon and told him, “Go and deliver Israel from Midian’s domination. I’ve directed you, haven’t I?”Judges 
6:14.

Gideon responded. “Sir, how will I deliver Israel? Look—my family is the weakest in Manasseh, and I’m the youngest in my father’s household.” Judges 6:15.

A number of times, you use your background, family history, past mistakes or failures and physical inadequacies to limit God's operations in your life.

Gideon was referred to as a valiant warrior because God was with him, and when he accepted this truth, he did recorded unimaginable victory for Isreal. 

In as much as God is with you, you are a valiant warrior. You will conquer nations and you will do exploits. Go in this might and walk in the dominion that Christ has won for you.

The Lord is saying to you this year, *rise up and fulfill His mandate upon your life, because the Lord is with you, Valiant warrior.* 

 *Bible reading:*

 Judges 6:1-26.

 *PRAYER FOCUS*

Father, I receive the grace to rise up as a valiant warrior knowing well that you are with me always.

THE GOOD FIGHT-2

Text:  1 Timothy  6:12   Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses. Another thing to pursue in fighting the good fight of faith is Godliness. We understand through the Holy scriptures that godliness is profitable unto all things.   *For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.* 1 Timothy  4:8.  You will reap the reward of your godliness not only when you get to heaven, but from here on earth. And this is why we are admonished to exercise ourselves unto godliness. (1 Timothy  4:7), because godliness with contentment is great gain.1 Timothy  6:6. Godliness is the practice of conforming to the image of God by reflecting the nature of the kingdom of God in the course of everyday life. In other words, godliness is living and portray...

IT IS WRITTEN AGAIN

Text: Matthew 4:6. He told Jesus, “Since you are the Son of God, throw yourself down, because it is written,   ‘God will put his angels in charge of you,’ and,   ‘With their hands they will hold you up, so that you will never hit your foot against a rock.’ Jesus knocked devil off with "it is written" when he came to him with the first temptation. So, the devil too decided to use "it is written" for Jesus for the second temptation.  Don't be deceived, the devil knows the scriptures too. Second Corinthians 11:14 says,  "Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light." So, it's no surprise when you see Satan's messengers masquerading themselves as Apostle of Christ. 2 Corinthians 11:14.  The word of God is perfect. Yet, many people can twist it to their advantage and ultimately to their disadvantage. A drunk, smoker, fornicator, liar and all sort can justify their sinful lifestyles with a Bible verse. See to it that you do not twist the word of Go...

IN MY NAME.

Text : Mark 16:17-18  And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. Having believed in the gospel (Good news of the resurrection of Jesus and His victory over Sin, Satan and Death), you now need to start using the name of Jesus authoritatively. JESUS said that in His name you shall cast out devils; you shall speak with new tongues; you shall take up serpents; and if you drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt you; you shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. This means that you will undertake all these in the authority of Jesus' name. No matter how small or powerless you may think you are in your own eyes. Once you believe in His name, you shall do all that He promised.   Unbelief was the sin that Israelites committed that wasted a whol...
