GOD HIMSELF IS YOUR STRENGTH

 Psalms 18:39 NKJV “For You have armed me with strength for the battle; You have subdued under me those who rose up against me.”


This is a powerful testimony from David. He clearly shows that victory does not begin with human ability. It begins with God. David does not say I trained myself or I found my own strength. He says God armed him with strength. This means strength is a gift from God. It is given, not produced by human effort. When God gives strength, it is not weak or temporary. It is strength designed for battle and for victory.

The verse also shows two clear actions of God. First, God gives strength. Second, God subdues the enemies. David did not defeat his enemies by himself. God worked on his behalf. This teaches us that God does not only prepare us for the battle but also controls the outcome of the battle. Victory is not by power or wisdom but by God who fights for His people.

This shows that strength is something God gives. We do not generate it ourselves. God equips His people for victory. When God equips you, you are not lacking anything. You may feel weak in yourself, but God’s strength covers your weakness. That is why believers can stand firm even in difficult seasons. God Himself becomes their strength.

Our fight is not carnal. It is spiritual. When you fight spiritually, God will manifest your victory in the physical world. Prayer, faith, obedience, and trust in God are spiritual weapons. When these are in place, God works behind the scenes. He changes hearts, situations, and outcomes in ways we cannot see.

Now the problem is that many of us see only the physical side of our battles. We are driven by feelings and emotions. We begin to fight people who oppose us. When we do this, we interfere with God’s process. People are not the real enemy. God never asked us to fight in the flesh. He asked us to trust Him.

The verse says, “You have armed me with strength.” This is spiritual strength. Then it says, “You have subdued under me those who rose up against me.” It is God who subdues your enemies under you. Your role is to pray and trust. God’s role is to fight. Sometimes we think God is late. Sometimes we think we must help Him. But God is never late. He is always on time. He will bring down every enemy one by one, in His perfect way.

Prayer: Father, be my strength in every battle and fight for me completely.

THE WISEST THING TO DO IN YOUR LIFE

  Daniel 12:3 (GNT) says, “The wise leaders will shine with all the brightness of the sky. And those who have taught many people to do what is right will shine like the stars forever.” This verse speaks about the reward God will give His faithful people on the last day. Those who live with wisdom and lead others to righteousness will shine like stars in the sky—forever. What a powerful promise! Today, I want to teach you how to be wise so you can receive this reward. The Bible says in James 1:5 (NKJV), “If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God...”  This means wisdom comes from God, and He is willing to give it to anyone who asks. When you receive God’s wisdom, you will learn how to live the right way and make decisions that please Him. You will also have the power to guide others. The wisest thing you can ever do in life is to preach the Gospel—to help people turn away from sin and accept Jesus Christ. That is the kind of wisdom that brings eternal rewards. Also, if you ...

WISDOM TO MAKE RIGHT DECISIONS

  James 1:5 NKJV says, “If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him.”   God is the true source of wisdom. This verse begins by saying "if any of you lacks wisdom,"  meaning God knows there are moments when even His children do not understand what to do. Wisdom is not automatic. It must be asked for. God welcomes you to ask Him because He gives generously. He does not judge, condemn, or shame you for not knowing. He does not accuse you for lacking understanding. Instead, He gives freely, kindly, and without reproach. And the promise is sure, it will be given. God never lies. When you ask in faith, He releases divine wisdom to guide you in your decisions. When you want to make any major decision in your life pause and ask God for wisdom. Our minds are limited but God knows everything. He knows the future. He knows how things will turn out after you make that decision. What looks right to you ma...
