POSSESS BY WAR

The devil will never hand anything to you on a silver platter. Not unless you are Herod and you want the head of John the Baptist. That he can supply. But your good inheritance will have to be wrested from his hand. He is a thief and a liar and if he can find a way to cheat you off of what God has for you, he will do it and laugh at you. It is not your portion. Each one of us has a mandate or a word that God has spoken over our lives. Some are called to dominate the media industry, others business, others to be in the 5 fold ministry. Each one has a calling that they must fulfill. I put it to you that you will have to have a face to face confrontation with the enemy to make it to your place of destiny. You will have to possess by war.

When God told Israel to spy the land that he was giving them, they found that the land was delightful but there were giants there. Your land is not a vacant lot. It is occupied. The giants are there but he who is with you is greater than he that is with them. There is nothing to fear. In that day, the people focused on the giants and feared but Caleb and Joshua had a different testimony. They chose to focus on God and his ability and not in their own strength. As long as you look to your own strength you will faint in the day of adversity.

While the others were having a fit and throwing tantrums, Caleb silenced them in Numbers 13:30 and says “Let us go up at once and take possession for we are well able to overcome it.” No more delays people. Let us stop debating about the giants. Yes, they are there. Yes, of ourselves we have no strength. But if God is for us, who can stand before us?!! Ready yourselves for battle. Let us go and possess this exceedingly good land for we are well able. Your ability to possess the land is not based on you, it is based on God’s ability. Remember that all the fullness of God, including his might, power and authority reside in Christ and Christ dwells in you. You have within you all you need to take possession in your area of calling.

Caleb and Joshua reveal their source of strength and confidence in Numbers 14:7-9 “…if the Lord delights in us, then he will bring us into this land and give it to us… only do not rebel against the Lord, nor fear the people of the land, for they are our bread; their protection has departed from them, and the Lord is with us. Do not fear them.” If you are a born again believer walking in obedience then the Lord delights in you. He will bring you into this land and he will give it to you. What land have you been shut out of? Is it marriage? Children? Wealth? Health? What is missing in your life? Engage in battle. The Lord delights in you and he will surely give it to you. Do not be afraid of the giants standing in your way. Do not be afraid of the obstacles that seem insurmountable. God is the one who has the responsibility of bringing you into the land. He will give you step by step instructions on how to wage this way and if you listen and obey him you will be victorious.

As for the giants, they are bread for you. Bread is to be eaten. Devour the enemy. Do not give him a second of respite. Stay alert. Guard your loins with truth. Take up the shield of faith and the sword of the Spirit and stand firm. This is your finest hour for victory. You will Possess by War in this season. Ride fearless against the enemy. Full speed ahead into the battle. The Banner over you is Victory. Jehovah Nissi goes ahead of you.
