2 Chronicles 20:15 ‘Be not afraid nor dismayed by reason of this great multitude; for the battle is not yours, but God’s.”.

DAILY READING; Acts 10:1-33; Joshua 7-8; Job 24

The Seven Years’ War fought from 1756 to 1763 was the first global war, which spanned five continents.
Most of the battles were fought between France and Britain. At that time, Britain and France had colonized different parts of North America.
France owned most of the area that is now known as Canada but also wanted control of the Ohio River area. But Britain did not want to give up its control there, so this disagreement led to the war.
Over the course of the war, it appeared Britain was going to be defeated. The initial armed conflicts did not go well for them as France had the upper hand.
As defeat loomed, the king of Britain called for a day of solemn prayer and fasting. On that day many people fasted and went to the Churches to call upon God to deliver Britain.
Every church in the city was more than full, and a solemn seriousness sat on every face.
The result of this national fasting and prayer was that the tide of the war turned to favor Britain. The threatened invasion by the French was averted and what had looked like eminent humiliation for Britain was turned into national rejoicing as they gained upper hand in the war, forcing France to abandon half of the British territory it had earlier conquered.

When it seems we are faced with formidable battles, we can reposition ourselves for victory by handing over the battles to God. This we do by setting aside time to fast and pray and seek God’s help.
In 2 Chronicles 20 a terrifying coalition of enemies came against Judah and it seemed their defeat was eminent. However, King Jehoshaphat decided to seek God’s help and proclaimed a national day of fasting.
During this fast the Spirit of the Lord spoke to them saying ‘Be not afraid nor dismayed by reason of this great multitude; for the battle is not yours, but God’s.” [2 Chronicles 20:15].
God fought for them and by the next day they found that their enemies had destroyed one another and left behind a great spoil that took three days to gather.
Surely, the battles of life are not ours but the Lord’s. The children of Judah did not lift any weapon, but through fasting, prayer and praise, God gave them the victory. Certainly, the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds.
When we fight through God’s help, our victory is established. We must learn to let God fight for us.
As Christians, we must always remember that our wrestle is not against flesh and blood but against spiritual wickedness in high places, and it is only through God’s power that they can be defeated.
To ensure total victory let us also learn to engage the decisive weapon of praise. Just as the men of Judah sang praises and God set an ambush against their enemies and none escaped, as we praise God today, every enemy of sickness, poverty, disfavor, delay, etc, will be totally annihilated in Jesus Name.

PRAYER: Lord, Thank You for the grace to always hand over my battles to you. As I praise You today, I thank You for empowering me and repositioning me for constant victory over every challenge in Jesus Name.
