[Wednesday's Devotional] - Ask God for Battle Strategy

Ask God for Battle Strategy Prior to engagement with our giants it is vital to gather intelligence and understanding about the enemy's capability, strategy and strengths and weaknesses.  In modern warfare and battle engagements, spies and other methods of espionage are often employed to gather intelligence. However, there is no greater source of intelligence and wisdom than enquiring of the Lord.   David was always in the habit of doing just that. For example in 2 Samuel we read this account:   "Now the Philistines came and spread themselves out in the valley of Rephaim.  Then David inquired of the LORD, saying, "Shall I go up against the Philistines? Will You give them into my hand?" And the LORD said to David, "Go up, for I will certainly give the Philistines into your hand."  So David came to Baal-perazim and defeated them there; and he said, "The LORD has broken through my enemies before me like the breakthrough of waters." Therefore he named that place Baal-perazim…." 2 Samuel 5:18-20 [NIV]    When we seek God's advice and strategy in prayer as a matter of priority, we do not only succeed but we also enjoy greater victory.   Once we hear His voice, we need to use our faith to access His grace. If the Lord says leave town and go to such and such a place to receive your blessing then we ought to obey.   Farai Mutsambiwa    Twitter Website Copyright © 2017 St. Matthew & St. Oswald's Church, All rights reserved.
