VICTORY WITH THE BLESSING

 



How should one chase a thousand, and two put ten thousand to flight, except their Rock had sold them, and the Lord had shut them up?

Deuteronomy 32:30


The above statement is a question as you may have noticed. But it's common for most people to quote it this way today, "one shall chase a thousand and two shall put ten thousand to flight". Do you know why this is common, as against the original text which is a question? It does not put any or much responsibility on them, the original text does, because it means you have to ponder on it, then make certain decisions. 


James 2:20 says, 

"But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?"


The work in the main text is how to secure the presence of God. Hence it will only take the presence of God to shutoff your enemy. It'd requires you making a quality decision to walk in obedience to God, only then can one chase a thousand and two put ten thousand to flight. In the area where two or more people are involve, if there is disunity, you can be certain that God wouldn't be there. The work there is to be in harmony with God at all junction, be it an individual or group; this is a command. 


The Word of God is His commandment. 


John 14:15,21 says, 

"If ye love me, keep my commandments. [21] He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him."


You see, people want the blessing of God, but want to live a life of disobedience. This is the reason for struggles in life. 


People have different definition of the term struggle. Permit me to explain in simple term; when you earn so much and can only do very little with it, and someone else is earning way less, but does much with the little, then you know someone is against the tide, due to the absence of the blessing. 

The blessing accompany the presence of God. With the blessing, you can always do so much with very little, and it'd multiply overtime (Proverbs 10:22). 


Jesus is Lord!

SETTLED SOUL

  Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth. 3 John 1:2 The state of one's mind [ soul ] determines his/her place in destiny. In life people are forced to bow to pair pressure or any other kind of pressure when they don't have a stable mind, or let's say the person have identity issue.  When Satan tempted Christ Jesus on His way from the wilderness after forty days prayer and fasting, what was the first question he asked Him? "if thou be the Son of God" if Jesus had had identity issue, he would have fallen for temptation in the view to show off, as a result lost His place and purpose. Knowing fully well that God had said, "... Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased." Lk. 3:22. Before embarking on the wilderness expenditure.  When you know who you are in the Word of God and are established in it; you wouldn't bow to the pressure of the world, because you see things differently....

PROSPER

 Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth. 3 John 1:2. The mind consist of one's will, intellect and emotions; which is the soul of man. At salvation the spirit of man; which is also referred to as the heart gets quickened or made alive (But let it be the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible,... ) 1 Peter 3:4  The heart is saved, the soul is not. You [we] have a duty to save our soul; and it has to be done through studying the word and meditating upon the word, that's when the transformation of mind/soul begins. Romans 12:2  "And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your MIND, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God." As you spend more time in the Word of God; like a mirror you beginning to see your true identity from it. This is the reason we are admonished to study the Word of God. Satan knows this, so he tries...

BE WISE.

  Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is. Ephesians 5:17 God, at different times and in so many ways have tried and still trying to let us know what His will for us is (He never gives up on us) . Same way the devil is endeavouring to distract us from God's purpose for our life through various medium. There is a saying, when purpose of a thing is not known, the abuse of the thing is certain. Using a toddler for an example. He/she have no clue what a remote control to a television is, if they found one. They can drop it a bowl of water if available, and still feels happy about it; simply because they have no idea what it is meant for. But as they grow up their perspective change. Same way, God want us to grow to understand our purpose and His plans for our lives. Unfortunately, Satan have ways of distracting people from the medium made available by God for man to identify or discover his purpose on earth. In other to keep people (grown-ups) in per...
