The Battle Is Not Yours

Main Scripture:  He said: “Listen, King Jehoshaphat and all who live in Judah and Jerusalem! This is what the Lord says to you: ‘Do not be afraid or discouraged because of this vast army. For the battle is not yours, but God’s. 2 Chronicles 20:15 (NIV)

The background to today scripture sees where a great army declared war on King Jehoshaphat. Just like any of us when we are faced with frightening situations, King Jehoshaphat became afraid and sought the Lord for guidance. He also commanded the people to fast. In the midst of the people seeking God, He answered them and told them not to be afraid because He will fight their battle.

Ladies, God has not changed, He is the same today, yesterday and forever. Therefore whatever you are going through God is still faithful to fight your battles for you, however, you have to trust Him.  You have to acknowledge that God is able to deliver you from the situation and leave it to him

God was able to fight the battle for King Jehosophat because:

1.   He committed the situation to God, acknowledging that only God could save the nation

2.   He sought God’s favour because his people were God’s people

3.   He acknowledged God’s sovereignty over the current situation

4.   He praised God’s glory and took comfort in His promises

5.   He professed complete dependence on God, not himself for deliverance.

Today, you may not have a literal battle but you may be sick or tempted to do something you should not. You may be faced with a situation that you cannot find the solution but just remember that the battle is not yours it is the Lords. Therefore just surrender it all to Him, stand and watch God deliver you from it.

Let’s Pray,

Mighty God this morning we place everything problem, every situation, and every sickness in your hands today. We acknowledge Lord that you are sovereign and that we need not worry, we need not fight, we not to fret instead we wait on you Lord Jesus.

In Jesus Name

Amen

Have a God Filled Day Ladies
