MFM Mountain Top Life Daily Devotional 12 October 2018 By Dr. D.K Olukoya – Your Attitude and Your Victory
TOPIC: Your Attitude and Your Victory (Mountain Of Fire and Miracle Ministries, MFM Daily Devotional 12 October 2018)
FIRE SCRIPTURE: Judges 19:22-25
MEMORY VERSE: “I will behave myself wisely in a perfect way. O when wilt thou come unto me? I will walk within my house with a perfect heart.” – Psalms 101:2
The MESSAGE:
In the book of Judges chapters 19 and 20, the Israelites fought the children of Benjamin because of the activities of the sons of Belial, which included corruption, sodomy, violence and immortality. The Benjamites defeated them twice, and before they went for the third battle, they went up to the house of the Lord, as usual, but this time they added fasting which they did until evening and offered burnt offering and peace offering before the Lord. They also inquired of the Lord, and the Lord asked them to go up, that He Will deliver the children of Benjamin into their hands. God did it, but remember that before this happened, they had to change their attitude. Victory means success and achievement. However, for victory to be achieved there must be war or conflict. As Christians, we are just like the Israelites; in fact, we are the spiritual Israelites. We fight on daily basis, and we all expect victory because we need to possess our Promised Lands. God in his words promised us victory, but it does not come in every war. There were times Israelites lost, and times they won. Looking critically into the Bible therefore, we discovered that one of the major reasons that gave them victory was their attitude towards God, especially at the time of war. Attitude means dispositions to act in certain ways. Whenever they went the wrong way or disobey God, negative things happen to them. Whenever they did not do what they knew they were supposed to do, even when their opponents were enemies of God, they lost the battles. This means that, even today, God is interested in our attitude before He goes forth to fight our battles for us.
Many have been expecting victories in some areas of their lives, but it seems nothing is happening. Many will win today and lose tomorrow. Many born again Christians have never won any spiritual war even in their dreams. Many even believe today that in this dispensation God does not fight for Christians anymore and that it all ended with the Jews before the coming of Christ. Of course, this is not true. The right attitude towards divine victory include: obedience, faith in God, spiritual activities (fasting and praying), burnt and peace offerings (i.e. sacrificial offerings) like first fruits, covenant seed, seed offerings, addiction to the word and total obedience, quality service unto the Lord, praising God always, and showing love to others. Beloved, begin to examine your attitude towards God and His instructions today. You must be a victorious Christian for you to possess your Promised Land and your victory is not negotiable. With the right attitude, I can assure you of victory over sin and iniquity, over enemies of your destiny, over affliction and sickness, over poverty, barreness, spirit of death and hell, over foundational powers, satanic dreams. Above all, you must be a friend of God.
