A LIFE OF VICTORY - EPISODE 2

There is a part of the scripture that talks about the thought God has towards the human race. Whether we like it or not, his thought remains unchanged as long as we are still very much around on planet earth. If we are really going to live in his promise, there is a need for you and I to lay aside every weight and sin that can take us away from the path of greatness God has prepared for us.

It is important for you to realize that God has a specific plan for you and He has beautifully drawn out a blueprint for your future just as you pass through each day. God is so concerned about you and I, and his love for us is unquestionable. He knows the best path you need to take in other to arrive at your final destination. He has everything perfectly planned out and I am convinced that you won’t miss out in the end.

But the enemy wants to get you off course; he wants to turn you to the left or to the right. He wants to take you away from the path of victory, a path of greatness, surplus, abundance and plenty. You’ve got to be sensitive enough to the voice speaking right behind you, the voice that is saying “this is the way you should go”. The best path God has for you is completely different from the path he has designed for your friend. Your friend may have everything working for him but you don’t; don’t be discourage. It is either you have strained from the path or you are close to your destination.

Most times, the glorious future prepared for you may not look attractive from the beginning, it may be filled with thorns, bristles, obstacles, highs and lows, but be rest assured that everything will work for your advantage. God knows your end from the beginning.

In 2014, I learnt a bitter-sweet lesson that has taught me never to assume before taking a decision. I was on my way to work and I needed to get to the office before time. While I navigate my way through both familiar and unfamiliar terrain, I heard a voice telling me not to go through one of the routes which appeared shorter and quickest to my destination.  I was hesitant, knowing full well that I may end up getting to the office late. See, disobedience is the highest form of rebellion.

In Isaiah 1:19, God emphasize on the benefit of being obedient. ”If you'll willingly obey, you'll feast like kings”. (MSG), “If you will only obey me, you will have plenty to eat”. (NLT)

I disobeyed the voice and I proceeded with the shortest route only to discover that the route has been blocked. My countenance fell within me, right there on the spot, I became depressed. I got to the office late and I was favored enough not to have lost my job. After that experience, I resolved to always make enquiries before leaving my apartment for any engagement or appointment. Disobedience will never allow you live a victorious life.

If you constantly want to live in victory, a study of the reign of King David is necessary. King David lived in victory all through his life. He never lost any battle because He always made enquiries before any decision is made. He never went to war in haste and this stood Him out from every other King Israel has ever had.

Watch out for the concluding part of this series……BE REST ASSURED THAT THE VICTORY IS YOURS.
