Never the less at thy word!!!. These were the words of Peter to Jesus Christ when after a night of toiling without catching any fish, he played host to the way maker who then instructed him where to not only get fish but a net-breaking miracle. A similar scenario played out in the Bible reading today, as three kings were coming to take on Judah under King Jehoshaphat’s reign. He was scared and went to God, recalling past deliverances from God. God stepped into the situation and decided to fight the battle for them. But, they still had to go to the battle front. So despite their fears, they chose to obey and went at God’s word.  The King encouraged the people to believe God and his prophets because therein was their deliverance. They did not have to fight the battle as God had said but in addition they came back with spoils of war that they did not fight in. However, they were only able to get these benefits because nevertheless, their fears discounting, at His word they went out. What is confronting you today? Take it to the King of Kings and then follow his instructions to the letter. The assurance of God’s presence makes the difference. Note though that Jehoshaphat was able to make the claims to God because of their right standing with God. So your standing with God must be guarded jealously because their-in lies the key to ultimate victory.

Prayer: Dear Lord, thank you because you are Jehovah Nissi our banner. I look to you concerning the battle situations of my life. Please step into my situation and fight my battles for me. I receive the grace for complete trust and obedience to move forward at your word. Please grant me victory on every side 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾.
