Life is a battlefield, As long as
we are in this world, we battle against spiritual entities that work against
our progress, he elaborated. Our battles, are similar, though camouflaged
differently. Satan is our common enemy.

Our battle for survival is not
personal but in the hand of God. We should learn to trust God. Upon our
strength, we cannot rely. Our courage is as perfect cowardice; our sufficiency
is of God. As human beings, we do not, on our own, have enough strength to stop
satan. Satan can only be stopped by the Spirit of God, continued the
preacher, advising his listeners to lay their souls under the influence of the
Holy Spirit. He entitled his message, ‘Leave It For God’ and opened to Matthew
6:25-27 and 33-34 as his proof text.
Not to be worried by their
situation but to be ruled by God’s Word. The key is not to suppress the flesh
but to surrender to the Spirit. “Satan is under my feet because I war in the
spirit, in Christ Jesus.” Leave your situation for God and be armed by His
sovereignty.
God’s Word is eternal and is the
final authority, settling all problems and situations. If you think about
tomorrow, you build tension around yourself today; God is aware of your
situation. He knows you by your name. He will not allow anything out of His
control to happen to you.
Do not lose focus or be
distracted by any situation, the wise man repeated, buttressing his point with
John 16:33. According to the wise man, it is easy to get off track and lose
focus on what you came to the world to do. If you feel pain in any situation,
you live out of the truth. Those who make Jesus their source shall find Him to
be all sufficient. Moses, in Exodus 14, made God his source and found him
sufficient. Our God does not need our support; leave it for Him. When you do
not seek to defend yourself, the Lord will make you stronger.
Only the Spirit of the Lord can
stop your adversaries. Our communication is imperfect unless aided by the
Spirit of God. By His grace, we are who, where and what we are. Left to
ourselves, we would fall and the enemy would laugh at us. We cannot save
ourselves but the name of Jesus can. His is the name above all names; He is the
Lord. When we use the name, Jesus, we will have the secret that ruled the world
through the apostles: salvation and miracles in the name of God.
We overcome satan by the Blood of
the lamb and the Word of our testimony. Those who know Him get victory through
Jesus; you should include God in your decision. After we have done all that is
humanly possible, we should leave the rest to God. We must not rely on
ourselves but on Someone stronger, wiser and smarter than ourselves. If you
trust in yourself, you are doomed to defeat and disappointment. Total
dependence on God for everything is the answer. There is hope for the
weak and the oppressed; Jesus is their hope. He fights for them and will not
allow their situation to devour them.
