Oluboye Emmanuel Ministry Mobile Daily Devotional Week 21, Day 1, Sunday, 18th May 2025 TOPIC: LESSONS FROM SAUL AND DAVID: Is The Battle Of The Lord. (15)


TOPIC: LESSONS FROM SAUL AND DAVID: Is The Battle Of The Lord. (15)

One Year Bible Reading: 
1 King 22, John 8: 31 - 47. 

MEMORY VERSE:
Matthew 11:12.
"12. And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force."

BIBLE READING:
1 Samuel 17:47.
"47. And all this assembly shall know that the LORD saveth not with sword and spear: for the battle is the LORD'S, and he will give you into our hands.

Thinking Point:
Put God first in that battle, if it is His battle He will never lose it.

Every battle we encounter when God is leading us is the Lord's battle. When we abide in God's instructions whatever comes our way is the Lord's business not ours. Let me start this morning from Exodus 14. It was the Lord that led the Israelites out of Egypt not Moses. Let's hear what Moses has to say in
"Exodus 14:13-14.
"13. And Moses said unto the people, Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of the LORD, which he will shew to you to day: for the Egyptians whom ye have seen to day, ye shall see them again no more for ever. 14. The LORD shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace."

What Moses was saying is that, I didn't bring you here, I only led you by the instructions of God. As long as God is leading us, He will fight the battle. Be sure of the battle you are fighting if it's the Lord's battle.

David said to Goliath, "for the battle is the Lord's, and he will give you into our hands" in order words, God has handed you over to me because it is His battle not mine, I am only a representative.
The first thing that determines our victory in any battle is, am I leading myself into this battle or God is leading me? Did You choose to go into that battle field without God's leading?
Secondly, am I fighting the battle my way or in God's way? Every battle we face when God is not leading us can only take the mercy of God to win it. Can you imagine fighting against God's children and expecting to win such a battle? That's a lost battle already. Which battle are you faced with, is the Lord aware of it? Did He lead you through the direction of that battle? Yes, what if the Lord never led me through it? He can still fight for you only if you allow Him to do so. If you will surrender to Him totally, listen to His leading concerning that battle, by letting Him know you can do nothing except He takes control. That you can do nothing without His leading. Where are you this morning? In the Lord's battle or your battle? Not all your battle is the Lord's battle, beware of fighting a battle without God's leading. Goliath was fighting against God's people which isn't God's battle so he has to lose the battle. Watch the battle you are fighting. Whatever we encounter while doing the Lord's business in obedience is the Lord's responsibility.

Good morning, and God bless you.
