Every child of God has some lands (Territory’s and
boundaries to occupy and take over in order for him or her to be seen and called a triumphant child
of God. The scripture made it clear that says “I have given the land to you, which flows with milk and honey” go and possess it”.
Friend in the Old Testament when God talk of given His people a land it was in did a land but there are other things found in this land such
as, vegetables, grapes and other useful plants, water (streams)
and all that it
takes to make life enjoyable were provided. Also now to the
New Testament
church scripture made it clear that “Says bless be God who
has bless us
with spiritual and things that pertain to live and godliness”.
Yes God has
given us everything but there is a work to do or carryout in
other to
attain them.
Friend I don’t want us to forget the fact that as God said to
the children
of Israel I have given you the land take it (possess it). He also
said
fight for it. But to us we don’t need to fight a physical
battle but a
spiritual one “it is written “fight a good fight of faith. It
means the New
Testament church has a battle that awaits her which
means that we have an
enemy called the devil and his agents. For we wrestle not
against flesh and
blood but against principalities and powers, against rulers of
darkness of
this world against spiritual wickedness in high places. Now
anytime we
talks about these forces especially the devil, the first issue
that come to
our minds are, causes of accident, sickness, death, miss-
carriages and
other things, but I want to share some very important
matters with us. The
first land that we will consider is the battle of the mind
“faith” which
also directly point to the soul. The greatest fight every child
of God has
ever faced and will ever face is the fight against your faith
in the word
of God, because the enemy knows that as long as you study
God word and
believes in it and put it to practice he is useless and
powerless to you,
that is why one of the hardest thing to do as Christians is
to take the
bible and sit down to study, notice I did not say read the
bible but study
and studding takes time and energy but it is worth doing, the
word of God
is the shield of faith “Above all, taking the shield of faith,
wherewith
you maybe able to stand against the fiery darts of the
wicked. “Ephesians
6:13). Because the devil knows that anyone who walk with
the word of God
will quench is fiery dart and what are this fiery dart, there
are,
unbelief, fear, doubt, stagnation and all that the enemy does
to break our
relationship with God, and bring us into eternal jeopardy
maybe you have
been believing the Lord for the fruit of the womb, trusting
God for job,
and for a major breakthrough, and it has not come to
actualization and you
may have been praying, fasting and doing all manner of night
vigil, sow
seeds of all kinds but nothing has change and you seem to
give up on God,
so your trust for God is going down but I have a word for
you, that you may
have given up on God but He has not given up on you on that
issues, that
expectation, not to talk of God given up on you because you
are so precious
in His sight. For the scripture says you are wonderfully,
beautifully made,
you belong to God, you are the apple of his eyes. In another
place David
the king wrote “we where like them that dream when the
Lord turned again
our captivities and our mouths were filled with lighter, then
say their
among the heathen the Lord has done great things for them.
You may say this
brother do not understand what I am going through and how
long I have
trusted the Lord, I earlier said that maybe you have given up
on God, but
it could be that you have also lost confidence on yourself
and believe the
reports of men concerning you “scripture made it clear, who
shall believe
our report, to whom is the arm of the Lord revile. What does
the arm of the
Lord means? It means the strength, power, spirit, just to
mention a few,
above all, it means the world of God concerning you, so, do
you believe the
word of God nor your challenges, problems and
circumstances, beloved let me
say at this point that “anyone who look at his or her
challenges, will be
drawn by it, it is written “And they saw a man walking
toward them upon the
water and they were afraid but Peter look, the disciples one
day were ask
by the master (Jesus) to go over to the other side and wait
for him, on
their way they encountered a storm and a boisterous wave,
which in our
contemporary time represent, challenges of all kind, Mathew.
And straight
way Jesus constrained his disciples to get into a ship, and
go before him
unto the other side, while He sent the multitude away. And
when he had sent
the multitude away, he went up into a mountain apart to
pray and when the
evening was come, he was there alone.
But the ship was now in the midst of the sea, tossed with
waves, for the
wind was contrary. And in the fourth watch of the night
Jesus went unto
them, walking on the sea.
And when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they
were trouble,
saying, it is a spirit, and they cried out for fear. But straight
way Jesus
speak unto them, saying be of good cheer, it is I; be not
afraid. And Peter
answered him and said. Lord if it be you, bid me come unto
thee on the
water. And he said, come and when Peter was come down
out of the ship he
walked on the water, to go to Jesus. But when he saw the
wind boisterous he
was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried saying Lord save
me; and
immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him,
and said unto
him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt? And
when they
where come into the ship the wind ceased. Now remember
Peter began to sink
as a result that he took his eyes away from the Master, but
as soon as he
looked back to him, he received assistance, friend if you can
only keep on
looking on the Master (Jesus) very soon you will sing a song
of
victory.
