GOD WILL FIGHT THE BATTLE FOR YOU

Posted on by Uplifting Christ

God will fight the battle for you. And you? You keep your mouths shut!” (Exodus 14:14 MSG)

God fights for His children everyday. He works behind the scenes so we don’t actually see what He does but if He should pull the curtain for you to see what happens around you, trust me you will never complain, or doubt Him for a millisecond.
At times you may feel He has kept silent, your enemies will be jubilating, and everything will seem to be falling apart. Hear me, during those times your Father in Heaven will be working behind the scenes for you. The truth is He wants you to leave all your burdens, pains and headaches for Him as He wants you to enjoy every step of your journey when you place your absolute trust in Him. Remember His promise that

“I will go before you and make the rough places smooth”
(Isaiah 45:2 NASB)

“God will fight the battle for you. And you? You keep your mouths shut!”

I don’t know the Pharaoh that is threatening you, neither do I know the Goliath that is tormenting you day and night.
I don’t know the Haman who is planning to wipe you from the surface of the earth.
I don’t know the Nebuchadnezzar who wants to throw you into fire.
I don’t know the Herod who is killing people around you.
But
I do know the Lord strong and mighty, the Lord mighty in Battle. He is the King of kings. He is the One who is fighting your battle for you.

You keep your mouth shut. In other words, don’t complain about your situation. There are people who always talk about their problems, and how unfair they had been treated instead of praying. Don’t be part of them and know that He who is in you is greater than he that is in the world. Hallelujah!
When the people were complaining in Exodus 14, Moses spoke to them:

“Don’t be afraid. Stand firm and watch God do his work of salvation for you today. Take a good look at the Egyptians today for you’re never going to see them again.(Exodus 14:13 MSG)

Friend take a good look at your enemies or problems today for you are never going to see them again in Jesus’ Name. God will fight the battle for you

I will persist till I cross the finish line

I will persist till I cross the finish line

I know I’m not there yet but one thing I know is that I’m closer than I was yesterday.

Each step takes me closer to the finish line

I live each day on purpose, and make every step count.

I say no to quitters and trust that God will take me there safely.

I live by the Word of God and ignore the words of men.

Jesus pressed on despite the shame and pains.

He looked up to God for strength and moved on till He crossed the finish line.

I see challenges as stepping stones and always pray that God fills my cup each day.

I will not turn back when I see the Red Sea, or run away when I meet Goliath.

I will persist till I cross the finish line.

WHAT REPORT DO YOU HAVE THIS YEAR?

Posted on by Uplifting Christ

HOPESo they spread this bad report about the land among the Israelites: (Numbers 13:32 NLT)

What report do you have this year?

Is it a good report or a bad report? Good report is the report that speaks faith. It sees possibility in what seems impossible. It doesn’t consider facts but rely on God’s Word. Only few people have good reports about their situations. It’s no surprising because among the twelve spies that went out for the forty days, only Joshua and Caleb brought good report. They believed that God was more than able give them the Land but the others had no hope. Do you have hope in God?
Many believers claim they believe in God but they doubt if He could turn their situations around. They believe in their doctors more than the Senior Doctor Jesus. They trust in the news more than the Good News of our Lord. They rely on people’s promises more than what God has promised concerning their lives. They pray but they don’t receive because doubts have filled their hearts. They have bad reports about their lives. Bad report is anything you believe (accept, trust) that is contrary to what God has promised. It keeps people in their comfort zones. You are carrying a bad report if you are afraid of the future.

Hear what God said about those who believed in the bad report;
And the L ord said to Moses, “How long will these people treat me with contempt? Will they never believe me, even after all the miraculous signs I have done among them? I will disown them and destroy them with a plague. Then I will make you into a nation greater and mightier than they are!” (Numbers 14:11, 12 NLT)
He added that;
But as surely as I live, and as surely as the earth is filled with the L ord ’s glory, not one of these people will ever enter that land. They have all seen my glorious presence and the miraculous signs I performed both in Egypt and in the wilderness, but again and again they have tested me by refusing to listen to my voice. They will never even see the land I swore to give their ancestors. None of those who have treated me with contempt will ever see it. (Numbers 14:21-23 NLT)

What report are you carrying with you this year?

Our God is a faithful God. He is not a man, so he does not lie. He is not human, so he does not change his mind. Has he ever spoken and failed to act? Has he ever promised and not carried it through? (Numbers 23:19 NLT). Joshua and Caleb believed in God. They said to all the people of Israel, “The land we traveled through and explored is a wonderful land! And if the L ord is pleased with us, he will bring us safely into that land and give it to us. It is a rich land flowing with milk and honey. Do not rebel against the L ord , and don’t be afraid of the people of the land. They are only helpless prey to us! They have no protection, but the L ord is with us! Don’t be afraid of them!” (Numbers 14:7-9 NLT). You’ve got to trust in the God you serve. You’ve got to believe that what God has promised, He is able to perform. I trust He will see you through so Believe in Him. Don’t be afraid of what lies ahead of you because God is with you.

Friend, I don’t know the kind of obstacle you see as you journey to your promise land. I don’t have any idea about the giant that you see occupying your promised land. Your promise land could be your marriage, education, ministry, business, family, health, finance, accommodation, happiness, etc. The type of report you have about your situation will determine your level of faith and how you trust God. It will also determine whether you can achieve your goals or enjoy the milk and honey that flow on the land. When you doubt God’s power to perform, it means you have a bad report. And according to James 1, don’t think you will receive anything from Him.

I believe in this year we are going to have good reports about our lives in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
