Message

Yesterday, I discussed failure as the first possible outcome in the battle of life. I also noted that this possibility becomes an assurance when God is fighting against a fellow. The second possible outcome in the battle of life is that it is possible to win, but with numerous struggles.

When God promises to go with you in your endeavours, success is assured, but you may need to fight. For example, in Exodus 3:10-12, God told Moses to go to Egypt and set the children of Israel free from bondage. This assignment scared Moses, but God promised to be with him. Moses obeyed God and appeared before Pharaoh, demanding the freedom of the Israelites, but the latter refused to let them go. Moses persisted in his demand, and Pharaoh continued to resist until he eventually submitted to the mighty power of the Almighty God. When the Lord is with you, no matter what the enemy says or does, you will win.

In 1 Samuel 17:1-51, everyone in the camp of Israel was afraid of Goliath, and for forty days and nights, he terrorised the nation. When David went to the king to seek his permission to fight the giant, the king looked at him and asked in disbelief if he was really capable of doing so. David recounted the things that God had done through him, and when Saul heard them, he said, "Go, and the Lord be with you." The Lord went with David, and he was victorious over Goliath. Beloved, when the Lord is with you, the possibility of failing in the battle of life vanishes.

Child of God, don't consider anything in your life as an accident. Before your birth, God carefully arranged everything about your life, and when He is with you in life's battles, you will undoubtedly win. In today's Bible reading, Jabez asked God to help him succeed in life. God answered him and put an end to his struggles. You don't have to keep struggling to succeed when you can call on the Lord to give you victory. Although Jacob had been blessed by his father, he struggled until he surrendered everything to God. Jacob held on to God until He blessed him (Genesis 32:24-32).

Beloved, stop trying to succeed by yourself; surrender your plans to God and ask Him to help you like Jabez did, and He will give you good success.

RCCG Hymn

When we walk with the Lord

When we walk with the Lord, In the light of His word,
What a glory He sheds on our way!
While we do His good will
He abides with us still.
And with all who will trust and obey.

Trust and obey!
For there's no other way
To be happy in Jesus,
But to trust and obey.

Not a shadow can rise.
Not a cloud in the skies.
But His smile quickly drives it away;
Not a doubt nor a fear,
Not a sigh nor a tear,
Can abide while we trust and obey.
Not a burden we bear.
Not a sorrow we share
But our toil He doth richly repay;
Not a grief nor a loss,
Not a frown nor a cross.
But is blest if we trust and obey
But we never can prove
The delights of His love,
Until all on the altar we lay.
For the favour He shows
And the joy He bestows
Are for them who will trust and obey.
Then in fellowship sweet
We will sit at His feet.
Or we'll walk by His side in the way.
What He says we will do,
Where He sends we will go.
Never fear, only trust and obey.
