STRUGGLE FOR THE KINGDOM

     WAR                                        FARE,,                                          Its very very important for you and i to know that  we are on the battle for our tomorrow. Anything that we do, will determine on whether we win or we lose.

The seasons we are living is an emergency period.Its in the race ,marathon where if you  look back you loose your track and focus.Same as it is when catching up with the bus in a rush during a rush hour time whether you are headin to work or you are going somewhere important.

Now, you realise that, before heading for somewhere whether heading for job or heading for work you need to prepare earlier . The preparation for heading somewhere can take hours others can take days so as to catch up on time on that day.

Sometimes ,i think sometimes you come across, that you are about to board the vehicle for the journey , thats when you remember you’ve forghoten something behind, it can be ; your phone, tooth paste or some clothes. Some go back and miss the journey, others never mind at all and continue.

Thats exactly in this journey for going to our destyiny. In this struggle , satan tries to insert ways and schemes to bring us back. Whenever we run in this marathon, he is there to make us look back at some no importance issues that will make us lose the marathon. There are so many things that satan will infect us that will make us part with GOD because he knows what lies ahead. 2 Timothy 4;7-8....’’i have fought the good fight , I finished the RACE, I have kept the faith. Finally , there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness , which the Lord, the righteous judge , will give me on that day ,and not to me only but also to all who have loved HIS appearing.

The people that will survive in generation are those who are strong in the spirit and focused.But sadly many people have forgotten who satan really is, they fail to remember that satan is still strong and has powers.The flesh is not dead.

GREATEST MEN OF FAITH , BUT STILL FAILED INTO DEVIL’S TRICKS

SAMSON

He is one of the strongest men mentioned in the bibble. His father was from  Zorah  of the family of the Danites ,whose name was Manoah. He grew strong and the the Lord blessed him   Judges 13;21......and the woman bore a son and called his name Samson, and the child grew, and the Lord blessed him. One time he teared up a lion that stood up on his way to Timnath.....Judges 14;5-6......behold on his way , a young lion lion roared on his way against him.and the spirit of the Lord came mighty upon him, and he rent him as he would have rent a kid , and he had nothing in his hand .........

At one time , he went to the forest  and caught three hundred foxes , took firebrands and turned tail to tail,and put a firebrand in the midst between the two tails . And he le the foxes into the standing corns of the Philistines and burnt all the corns, stocks, wheat and the vineyards. Judges 15;21. He also slew a thousand Philistines with a donkey jaw bone in a row.At last he bow all his strength on the Philistines house and slew more men that what he had slew in his life. Judges 16;29-...................

But despite all these achievements and mighthy deeds, he still fell on satans trap ‘’DELILAH’’ through some seduction. To me i can say its lust and pleasures of a woman that trapped him and made him fail. Thats exactly possible for a standing evangelists or a strong minister to lose because because of a woman.Samson lost his place because of a woman, he lost his mission for the Lord because of a woman and he got finished at last.

DAVID

The psalmist who loved the Lord so much, he desired the devotion for the Lord in all the days of his life. He loved to dwell in the presence of God and stay in HIS  temple ...Psalms 84;10...for a day in your temple is better than a thousand days else where, i’d rather be gate keeper in your temple than dwell in the house of the wicked..

He killed Goliath and defeated the Philistines . H e conquered and captured Jerusalem.He was a talented psalmist .But still he didn’t pass the test.
