One of the most famous Chinese Christian leaders of the 20th century was Watchman Nee. In his book ‘Sit, Walk, Stand’, Watchman Nee tells the story of their mission to an island off the South China coast. He had gone there with six Christian brothers, including a zealous sixteen-year-old new convert named Brother Wu.
While on the island, their preaching seemed fruitless because of the eople’s dedication to an idol they called ‘Ta-wang.’ The people were convinced of this idol’s power because on the day of his festival each year, the weather was always near perfect.
One day, when 16 year old brother Wu went out alone to preach, he boldly declared to a group of people that on the day of the next festival for Ta-wang, the rain would fall.
The crowd was outraged at his statement, however they promised, that if indeed it rained on that date, then they would stop worshipping ‘Ta-wang’ and begin to worship the God of the Christians. When Watchman Nee heard about this confrontation, he called everyone in their group to prayer.
Finally the morning of the festival came. At first there was not a cloud in the sky, but then suddenly heavy rain began to fall. Worshipers of Ta-wang carried it outdoors for the festival’s parade, hoping this would stop the rain. But the rain caused the carriers of the idol to stumble and break the idol’s jaw and left arm.
The village elders decided to choose a new date for the festival and parade. But again on the new date, there was such heavy torrential rain and floods that finally convinced the villagers that the God of the Christians was more powerful than Ta-wang. As a result of this, many of the people stopped their idol worship and became converted to Christianity.
As believers, we are bound to face battles, however we are not permitted to be defeated, because God has guaranteed us constant victory through Christ.
2 Corinthians 2:14 says ‘Now thanks be unto God who always causes us to triumph in Christ.
The Christian life is indeed a life of constant warfare. However in all these things we are more than conquerors. And the victory with which we constantly overcome is our faith. .
When you are born of God you are born to overcome. You cannot be defeated as long as your faith is in place. It doesn’t matter how difficult any situation, you have all it takes to be a winner. The greater One lives in you. Even when it seems you are facing goliath, always remember that the battle is not yours, the battle belongs to the God in you. And He has guaranteed you constant victory through faith.
However, our victory in the world will be determined by our labor in the Word. Faith is putting God’s Word to work, not waiting for God to Work. Therefore to engage the force of triumphant faith, we must commit to diligent study of God’s Word. Indeed the more studious we are, the more glorious our destiny.
This is our year to see the glory of the Lord like never before. It doesn’t matter where you may have been defeated before, in this season God is set to give you new victories and new territories. Therefore get ready to see great and mighty things. As we continue to praise God in every situation, we shall keep moving from victory to victory and from glory to greater glory.
PRAYER: Lord, I thank You for causing me to triumph always in every battle. By the power of Your Word let there be a forceful turnaround in my life. Let every affliction cease and let there be glory-invasion in every area of my life in Jesus Name.
