The nation of Australia has an interesting Coat of Arms oficially called the Commonwealth Coat of Arms of Australia.
Pictured on it is a shield being held up by two animals native to Australia. These two animals are –the emu, a flightless bird, and the kangaroo. These animals were chosen because they share a characteristic that appealed to the Australian citizens. Both the emu and kangaroo can move only forward, not backward. The red kangaroo is the largest terrestrial mammal endemic to Australia and one of the most popular and well-known native Australian animals, but the kangaroo is prevented from moving in reverse by its large tail. While the emu is the second tallest bird in the world and the largest native bird in Australia, but its three-toed foot causes it to fall if it tries to go backwards, and so it can only go forward. These animals were thus chosen to symbolise Australia as a nation that is only moving forward, and never backward.

The symbol of Australia’s coat of arms can as well describe the life of a believer. We are meant only to keep moving forward, and never backward.
Ephesians 6 lists the whole armour of God, that we should put on. You will note in this list of armour that there is no back plate and nothing to cover the back of a Christian. The reason is because we are never meant to turn back and flee from the enemy. Rather our role is to keep going forward with the banner of Christ, advancing God’s kingdom, taking new territories and defeating the powers of darkness.
No armor at the back tells us we are not to retreat! We cannot flee from the devil rather the Bible tells us the devil must flee from us [James 4:7]
Obstacles or resistances should never hinder your forward movement. Regardless of what comes your way, do not become discouraged or allow circumstances to limit or stop you.
Whenever you are faced with a challenge, trust God and know that it is only a phase. It too shall pass.. Life is in phases and seasons. Even if everything seems to be rising up against you, keep going forward. Always remember, that when God sends you, He goes with you. Therefore you are never alone on your journey.
In Isaiah 43:2 God says ‘I will go before thee, and make the crooked places straight: I will break in pieces the gates of brass, and cut in sunder the bars of iron:’
Indeed God is our way maker and barrier-breaker. Through His help we are destined to be unstoppable and to triumph always.
By the help of the Spirit of God, there is nothing that can hinder your forward movement this year. Because the path of the just is meant to keep shining brighter and brighter, our story will always be forward ever and backward never in Jesus Name.

PRAYER: Father please enable me to keep going forward despite any challenge I may face. Thank You for multiplying my efforts and doing exceedingly abundantly above all I could ever ask or imagine in Jesus Name.
