Happy new week beloved of God,

Life is like a tug of war.
But God is not on one side pulling, we are the ones on one side filled with the Holy Spirit while the devil and his agents are on the other side. Satan is no match for God. He has been put under the footstool of Jesus. At best Satan wrestles with angels of God sent to reinforce and enforce God’s command. It's war!

Like in every tug of war, there is a line to cross.
When the rope is pulled by one side across the line, they are seen as being stronger and being the winners.

But Jesus has told us many things for us to win:
1. "These things I have spoken unto you, that in me you might have peace. In the world you shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world."
2. Paul reminds us that we are more than conquerors.
3. We also know that the battle is the Lord’s.
4. Again know that we wrestle not human beings as we see them with our natural eyes, but the principalities, powers and demons they possess, manifest and represent.
5. Finally, among many other promises, in our weakness God becomes strong for us.

Are your palms getting sore from pulling the ropes?
Are your sandals gathering dust on the ground as you withstand being pulled?
Are your fellow-team mates pulling too hard on your waist?

Hang on! Hold the fort! Hold the rope!
Victory is sure. Jesus said it is finished, so it is. He is the truth remember!
Satan says, "... no you are just starting and you will never end well". Well he's the father of lies what do you expect to hear? The devil tell you, "... oh I'm losing!" No he'll continue to sell you those false facts against the truth. He'll tell you its your nature; your flesh is winning over your spirit; you are under grace and mercy so you can be lazy in your faith; God forgives so sin on; after all the righteous man falls 7 times and God remembers we are weak mortals!

Take heed, beloved of God, life is a tug of war and to draw that rope across the line to your side, you have to put on your whole armour of God (Ephesians 6) and watch and pray. Don't live in ignorance. Don't be earthly wise and be a spiritual mediocre. Don't leave your destiny for your clergy, priest, pastor, mum's prayers, dad's influence or other such care takers. You are the owner. It's your life- God's gift to you.
 *
In conclusion, Jennifer Benson Schuldt says,
'A persistent worry or even a sinful thought that disrupts a prayer may become the centerpiece of our discussion with God. God wants us to be real as we talk with Him and open up about our deepest concerns, fears, and struggles. He is not surprised by anything we mention. His interest in us is like the attention we would receive from a close friend. That’s why we’re encouraged to give all of our worries and cares to God—because He cares for us (1 Peter 5:7).'
*

I sincerely wish you a victorious week ahead.
Whichever side we wake, our victory is assured.

TLF 💚

#NextGeneration Stories

Cherokee Legend Do you know the legend of the Cherokee Indian youth's rite of Passage? His father takes him into the forest, blindfolds him and leaves him alone.  He is required to sit on a stump the whole night and not remove the blindfold until the rays of the morning sun shine through it. He cannot cry out for help from anyone.  Once he survives the night, he is a MAN. He cannot tell the other boys of this experience, because each lad must come into manhood on his own. The boy is naturally terrified. He can hear all kinds of noises. Wild beasts must surely be all around him. Maybe even some humans might do him harm. The wind blew the grass and earth, and shook his stump, but he sat stoically, never removing the blindfold. It would be the only way he could become a man! Finally, after a horrific night the sun appeared and he removed his blindfold. It was then that he discovered his father sitting on the stump next to him.    He had been at watch the entire night, p...
