TOPIC: The Battle Is Not Yours (TREM Devotional 17 February 2024)
“And he said, Hearken ye, all Judah, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem, and thou king Jehoshaphat, Thus saith the LORD unto you, Be not afraid nor dismayed by reason of this great multitude; for the battle is not yours, but God’s.” 2 Chronicles 20:15 (KJV)
Wisdom For The Day MESSAGE:
The Spirit of the Lord came upon Jahaziel, a Levite, and he began to tell them about the battle. He said the battle belongs to God. In other words, God has taken over the battle, and He doesn’t lose any battle.
Beloved, God loves you so much that He won’t allow the devil to destroy you. What the enemy is planning has been taken care of by God. The strategy of the enemy will never prosper against you. The battle is not yours. So, like Jehoshaphat, begin to praise God because you already know the outcome before the battle begins.
God knows where the enemy is! God knows where the challenge is! God knows where the business is. And He knows how to turn the business around. He knows how to give you rest. And when you are resting, you will see the salvation of the Lord. Your fear will begin to fear you!
Don’t fret! Don’t be overwhelmed by anxiety! You shall not need to fight. The battle is the Lord’s. Stop looking at your circumstances and begin to look at the ‘Bigness’ of your God. He will not fail you! You will give birth to new things. The long outstanding challenges will turn around overnight. Your story is changing. Whatever has broken down others, will not break you down. You shall be relevant for all seasons.
Those who have been laughing at you will laugh and celebrate with you. Your children will not become vagabonds. They are the seeds of the righteous; therefore, they shall be mighty upon the earth. You will walk in Dominion. You will not fight the demons of your father. Your part is to believe what He has spoken. When you believe, there shall be a performance.

DAILY CONFESSION
The enemy will not exact upon me, nor will the sons of wickedness afflict me. The loving-kindness of the Lord will never be taken from me, neither will His faithfulness to me ever fail. His covenant He will not break, nor alter the words that have gone out from His lips. So, I am confident that everything He has spoken concerning me shall come to pass. (Psalm 89:22, 34)
I am more than a conqueror, for greater is He that is in me than he that is in the world. I am the light of the world and the salt of the earth. I arise and I shine, for my light is come and the glory of the Lord is risen upon me. Darkness shall cover the earth and gross darkness the people, but the Lord will arise upon me and His glory shall be seen upon me. The Gentiles will come to my light and kings to the brightness of my rising. (Rom 8:37, 1John 4:4, Math 5:13, Isai 60:1-3)
Every day and in every way I am getting better: spiritually, physically, financially, mentally, morally, and in all my endeavours.
I am called for a purpose; I will fulfill this purpose and I will arrive at God’s ordained destiny for my life. Nothing will cut me short. I will make a formidable impact in my world for the Kingdom. Therefore, I declare that I am a person of integrity, I am spiritually fervent, and I am accountable in all I do because I’ve been raised to live the Kingdom Life here on earth.
It is my day of Great and Mighty Things!
