#With God, you have nothing to lose

You see, when it's God's war, the battle strategies always look ridiculous. Seasoned Generals would argue against it. They will point out the foolhardiness of applying the strategy.

"This is ridiculous. Are you insane?
This is war and not child's play"

Many onlookers would murmur the same sentiments.

When it's God's war, you cannot comprehend it. The only thing you can possibly predict, is the outcome.

2 Chronicles 20:15b MSG
This is God's war, not yours,
God said to king Jehoshaphat when three kings united against him. All the king needed to do, was get the worshippers ahead of the soldiers and all, in one accord begin to praise and thank God.

That was it.
A battle strategy indeed. They dint have to lift a finger. God laid
ambushment against the three kings.

2 Chronicles 20:17 MSG
You won't have to lift a hand in this battle;

When the Israelites were delivered from Egypt and the shackles of slavery, they were caught between pharaoh's merciless army & the mighty redsea.
They dint have to lift a finger. God said, "Stand still, and see me in action. The rest they say, is history.

When God briefed Joshua on how to penetrate the fortress of Jericho, without a doubt, I believe Joshua must have said to God, "can You please repeat what You just said?
I must have missed something.

God told him, you heard well.
His biggest concern after this encounter must have been, how do I get these stiff-necked Israelites to tag along?

Walking round a city wall daily for 6 days and on the 7th day, walk round it 7 times and boom,
the walls will collapse. Hmmmmm.

Flesh would have crept in, fear and trepidation too, but, as he walked along, he remembered how God showed forth His power in Egypt and how He demonstrated His might before the red sea and how he destroyed Pharaoh and his army in one full swoop.
No, this is God we are talking about, he said to himself. With God, absolutely nothing is impossible.

With Chin up, he boldly debriefed his Generals and field commanders. Suddenly there was a loud interruption from his deputy, "you said what? This is war and not a crusade."
He tried and tried convincing them all this is God's war, not ours..if we want success, we've got to do it His way. Some would definitely have left. They were murmuring "If you have a pact with death, that's ok, I have a family who needs me" Others who stayed had some form of
doubt or the other, but, still, they tagged along and obeyed.

As we know, the rest they say is history.
They matched round the city as.instructed and the walls came crashing down...

What God is instructing you to do might look very ridiculous, and infact, make you look very
stupid. Abram obeyed. Noah obeyed. Peter obeyed & d results were not only mind-blowing, but also, breathtaking.

u have nothin to lose when u obey God. It's nt easy sometimes, I must confess, but,like Joshua,Moses, Jehoshaphat, just obey. No use arguing. u won't win dat argument.
Pray for the grace to always do things His way, and at the end, you will be beneficiary of the "riches" therein.

Look at it from this perspective..."When it's God, nothing can go wrong. When it's God, the outcome is predictable"
Awesome testimonies awaits you this week, in Jesus name.💃🏼💃🏼💃🏼

*Your Day* *Part 5*

Hannah's story began on a happy note. She married the man of her dream.💃🏼 Soon, things began to get awry. Her hubby took a second wife. We are not told why Elkanah, her husband took a second wife, however, It could probably be because
she had delays in conception.
👇🏼
This second wife, Penninah became a nightmare to Hannah. She reminded her daily that she was just a barren & fruitless woman.

*1 Samuel 1:7b MSG*
This went on year after year. Every time she went to the sanctuary of God she could expect to be
taunted. Hannah was reduced to tears and had no appetite.😭
👉🏼
She found solace in going to God's sanctuary, yet nothing happened the way she had thought it would. Depression now gave way to Panic-attack & delirium😥

*Suddenly, she pulled herself together* .

Ukraine was a former territory of the old Soviet union and was a strategic location for arms and armament.

NATO should be blamed for this. They were directly and indirectly stockpiling weapons in Ukraine, trying everything possible to make Russia insecure.

Let's not forget
that Putin was a former intelligence chief and diplomacy is seen as a resort for weaklings.

If we look at it technically, Russia will never forgive the U.S and the west for the break up of the former Soviet union.

How would Europe, I mean the west feel, if Russia is stockpiling
arms in one of their territories.

The West is well known for distabilzation allover the world. They want world dominance.

I only feel for the Ukrainians who are now pawns in this game of death.

Trust me, the West cannot do more than sanctions and stockpiling more arms in

*king Saul, had his moment too*
👇🏼
When his day came, It began like any other normal day.
👇🏼
He woke up with his own plans, but that was not to be.
👇🏼
His father's donkeys were missing and the lot to go look for them fell on him.

👉🏼He was oblivious of what was to come. (You see, when it's your day, things suddenly happen)
💃🏼
Anyways, he set out looking for the lost donkeys.

Unknown to him, God had other plans,
and indeed interrupted his plans and day

*I pray God interrupts your day with His plans for your life* 🙏🏼

*Alas* , God had spoken to Prophet Samuel a day before.💃🏼

*1 Samuel 9:15a MSG*
The very day before, God had confided in Samuel...

Planned 6,000 steps this morning, but, ended up below mark. 😂. Getting old I guess

As usual, my Personal Prayer Walk, is usually a time to Pray or Worship.

Today's was nothing unusual. Giving glory to God is a normal for me.

Every morning, the first thing I do when I wake up,
is to Thank God for at least 1hr. No prayer points, just Thanksgiving, before joining the family downstairs for family prayer.

Psalms 116:12 MSG
What can I give back to God for the blessings He's poured out on me?

Nothing but Gratitude, Thanksgiving, Praise & Worship.

One
thing I am very conscious of in my daily walk are;

1. The call of the thankful, secures God's Intervention the day of trouble.

2. The more you are thankful, the more you attract things to be thankful for.

3. Be Thankful for every sign of progress; no matter how small...

Reading through
*Judges 11:1-2,4-5,9 KJV*
👇🏼
We see how Jephthah, a mighty man of valour, was thrust out of his father's house, because, his mum was a whore.😥
All hopes of getting an inheritance were lost.😭
🙏🏼
One day, his big break came.
*V4a* said, " *In the Process of time* ..." That is, after a long time, he was badly needed to remedy a very bad situation. Obviously, they knew he had great potentials, yet, out of wickedness,
they thrust him out. 💬
👇🏼
And when his big day came, he called the shots.
👉🏼He said, will you make me king over you if I sort this mess out? and with one voice, they said, YES. Just sort this out for us.👍🏼

*When it's God at work, you may not understand the process.*

However, one man named *Ziba* who was strategically positioned in the palace, purposed to stand in the way

*2 Samuel 9:4 MSG*
"Where is he?" "He's living at the home of Makir son of Ammiel in Lo Debar."
*2 Samuel 9:5 MSG*
King David didn't lose a minute. He sent and got him
from the home of Makir son of Ammiel in Lo Debar.

Lodebah, where Mephibosheth was, was a place of no pasture. ( *You recall I mentioned yesterday that, when it's your appointed day, your location isn't a barrier* .)
👇🏼
👉🏼In lodebah, Everyone had a sad story to tell.
