STRENGTH IS NOT A GUARANTEE FOR VICTORY

-

One fatal error you may commit as a young man is to think your strength is enough for victory in battle. An addendum is that you may think your swiftness will make you win the race. You may think your wisdom will bring good food on your table. That is a great goof. You surely may rely on your intelligence for riches and wealth. The continuous line is that your understanding and ability will bring your favor. Don't ever rely on them. Don't ever make that FATAL error. You may end up as average or irrelevant. The programme of God is solely linked to him. Once you divert your attention on things linked to flesh and self abilities, you will end up chasing shadow and catching it. Whatever is bore on the strength of man will never go far. Whatever is possible with man is natural and extraordinary. Whatever is possible with your capacity and charm is limited as you are. Only what is rooted in God can be lasting and eternally supernatural. Your strength is never a guarantee for your victory. In fact, your strength may make you a victim of failure in your goals and dreams for life. By strength shall no man prevail. Mighty men do fall. Mighty men with unusual aura and charm can die unfulfilled. David Jesse went into the battle with Goliath of Gath as a weak fellow compared to the giant. Goliath had strength and it could have given him extreme confidence that he will win. He was angry to the point that he cursed David and thought of him as a dog. Even the camp of David saw the strength of Goliath and were afraid for David. They were mourning David as he progressed to the battle ground. They forgot that the race is not for the swift, the battle does not belong to strong and food does not come to wise men. Time and chance happens to them all. The time and chance is controlled by God. He releases grace to them that RELY on HIM completely. Young man, your certificate cannot ascertain you advancement in life. Collect it, throw it at his feet. Never make the mistake of trusting that certificate. You have skills and talents, allow God to have his lead in its use. Establish this firmly on your spirit that your strength does not guarantee your victory in battle. Ai, which was small village landed a fatal blow on Israel while they were chasing people that occupied their land away.  Israel had defeated more populous nations before them but Israel failed cos they went to fight alone. God was away from them cos of sin. Their physical strength was not enough to sustain them. They lost the battle to a weaker nation until they rested on God. Young man, don't ever rely on your strength, rely on God. He will carry you to fulfill his mandate for and you will become all his designed for you victoriously.

UNDERSTANDING THE TIMES

-
Seriously, understanding your times in the making process poses a  great challenge to many as children of God. Unlike the trees and crops whose seasons are relatively constant in planting and fruition, every man has a unique timing in both. It is laid on us to understand under God what our times and seasons are. A man who ought to be in the planting season is expressing fruits (Results of being made). A man who ought to be in the germination stage is celebrating the harvest. See, once you miss your timing in life, there is already a huge deficit in purpose fulfillment. Don't envy any man. See their timeline and you will understand. One heavy blow the enemy has landed on our generation of young ones is to be fruitful without getting planted. They want to ride cars, build houses, have huge money, and get to do the "big" things without being buried as in planting. No cultivation,  no rooting, no thinning, and no manuring, none. They want to skip those times because of one ol

FRIENDS

-
The circle of people around you has a huge influence on who you are becoming. Remember, we have discussed that you are becoming what you will become.  No one became anything suddenly. It's a process. While you are becoming what you will become, you need to know that the friends you keep will have a large influence on you. Let me tell you the bitter truth. You cannot be friends with everyone. An attempt to try it will be the beginning of you becoming a deformed you. It is foolishness to want everyone in your camp and be in the "good" book of everyone. You must learn to select your friends. Even if they select you, you must also check your parameters of judgment to bring such people close. Meanwhile, some people may be colleagues at work and their position must not be more. Some may be mere acquaintances, an attempt to make them more than that will be catastrophic for your dream and goals in life. You dare not discuss details of your life with such. A friend is indeed a dee

TRUST GOD EVEN IF IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE

-
Young man, I am glad to pen some issues on your current challenges to you today. You may be currently in the worst state you could ever be. Let me tell you not to shift your attention away from God. Stay with him. Learn to trust God in all you do. Hold firmly to the truth of his word that he never fails. Even when it does not make sense, trust him harder. Even when it does not match your physical senses and the road seems blocked, trust him better. Trust God if it is senseless. Trust God if it's locked and it can't be opened by men. Trust God is it's dead and no hope of life. Trust God if it's broken and can't be fixed by men. Trust God when all road seems to be locked down. Trust God when the doctors says it can't be fixed medically. Trust God when no man is there to lift you. Trust God when you are in the afternoon or evening of your life here and you look like an under achiever. God is never going to be late on your case. He is never going to fail you. He is
