2 Chronicles 20 talks about King Jehoshaphat
one day, all the enemies decided to "gang up" against the kingdom in which King Jehoshaphat ruled. Being fearful about the numbers of the enemy, the king seeked counsel from the Lord. and this is what the Lord said,
verse 15 "...Do not be afraid or discouraged because of this vast army. For the battle is not yours, but God's.."
On the day of the battle, King Jehoshaphat and his small army were by far defintely outnumbered.
but they stood firm, and Kind Jehoshaphat ordered the "worship team" to stand in front of the army and lead the whole "congregation" into a time of praise.
imagine this scene, a small army against empires! and this small army aint afraid, they dont run but sing praises to God!
And guess what God did?!
He confused the enemies, and they started killing one another.
soon, all the enemies died.
imagine this again, you in the army watching your enemies killing one another and all you have to do is sing praises.
In life,
we do not usually have physical war,but spiritual and emotional war.
daily, we are constantly battling in our heart against the enemy.
we battle not to sin, to choose correctly etc.
as we fight, remember that God is always there and He is fighting along our side.
keep on rejoicing despite the troubles faced.
as
" ...weeping may remain for a night, but rejoicing comes in the morning" psalms 30:5
problems,
if taken in the right attitude
can most probably be known as blessings in disguise.
imagine what we can gain just by conquering the problem?
yes, they are truely, treasures in the darkness.
the way to conquering problems:
Faith is something we need
Obedience to listen to God's instructions
Rejoice always
Give God a chance, rely on Him
"I" does not exist, God blessed us with friends and family to pray together, build each other up
Voice out truthfully ( have good relational and functional boundaries)
Everyday, pray for deliverance
the spells- forgive.
get it?! : )))
