CONFRONTING THE BATTLES OF LIFE PART 1
Life is a battlefield and it is full of challenges. The ultimate aim of the battles of life and it's challenges is to have one under it's control and keep one as a slave in order to manipulate him or her. However, there is a method that God has given to his children, those who exercise faith in Christ as their Lord and Savior in accordance to Romans 10:9-10 to handle the battles of life and to come out victorious. God does not want any of his children going through the battles of life to be dismayed or fearful. This is so because discouragement and fear are the tools of the devil that he uses to defeat children of God when confronted with challenges. Also, God does not want us to flee from the battles of life. Instead, we are to confront it squarely, face to face with a victory mentality, for our God is a God of victory!
The victory mentality was what David had when he confronted Goliath who posed as a challenge to the Israelites. See Sam 17:26. We are to see an opportunity in every challenge. Like David who wasn't afraid of Goliath like his country men, he saw an opportunity to derive something. We as children of God should emulate this. In Christ, all God's children have a covenant, an agreement with God and as such, God is on our side forever!
God bless you!
