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....

SPIRITUAL KNOWING

  But when the Jews saw the multitudes, they were filled with envy, and spake against those things which were spoken by Paul, contradicting and blaspheming. Acts 13:45 In life you will face some vicious attacks from people, their reasons may seem reasonable to many [natural minds]; but their real intent, concealed. From the above text, observe the real reason the Jews were contradicting what the Apostles had said. When they saw the multitudes, they became envious. But they wouldn't come out to show their real intent; but will work up something else as the main reason.  This is why as a Christian, you can't allow yourself to be limited by the things you see, hear or feel, because they can be deceptive. The Holy Spirit is the revealer of truth, let Him guide you into all truth.  "For he knew that the chief priests had delivered him for envy." Mark 15:10 Go beyond the physical, and sense realm. Go spiritual [there's a spiritual knowing].  Jesus is Lord!  Mark Enah...

BE RESOLUTE

  For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me. John 6:38 If you need to, you may; examine yourself and see, can the above statement be true of you or about you? Because in life you will face obstacles and challenges that will press and push you to extreme limit or out of measure to a breaking point [in despair of life, according to Apostle Paul]. These things happens in other to make you change course; but stand thou resolute.  Jesus said, persecutions will arise for the Word sake.  In Matthew 26:39, Jesus was praying "... O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt." While on the cross, Jesus cried out, "... My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?"  Well..., the Father didn't go anywhere, but the heat of the situation(s) make it look that way.  Enroute the promise land, there are a lot of obstacles; there is nothing easy about it. Sure the Devil makes it d...
