Introduction
Have you ever found yourself at a battlefield, completely unaware of how you got there? This is the story of a young man, much like myself, who woke up one day only to discover he was thrust into a battle he never signed up for. Life taught him that not everything is a bed of roses, and this battlefield became his daily reality. With his commander by his side, he embarked on a journey of challenges, perseverance, and ultimately, triumph.
Finding Myself at the Battlefield
As the sun rose on that faithful morning, I found myself standing on unfamiliar ground, right in front of a daunting battlefield. Confusion and questions filled my mind: Why did God create me? Why am I faced with such hardships? Many of you may have asked these very questions, feeling like you were not born with a silver spoon. Little did I know, this battlefield was the world I was born into, with obstacles and difficulties as my fellow soldiers.
The Commander's Instructions
Standing beside me, my commander handed me a loaded gun and urged me not to shoot. It seemed absurd to me—surrounded by enemies who could easily take my life. But my commander, with calm reassurance, told me to trust in the Lord always, to not be dismayed. In that moment, a bullet came hurtling towards me, but my commander's words echoed in my ears. I realized that the Lord did not send me into this battle to perish, but to overcome.
Trusting in the Lord Always
Each day became a fight for survival, both physically and spiritually. The challenges seemed never-ending, and the doubts crept into my mind. Yet, the words of my commander lingered, reminding me that the thoughts the Lord has for me are not evil. He did not bring me here to suffer, but to emerge triumphant. In times of despair, I learned to hold onto His promises and find refuge in His strength.
Facing the Difficulties and Challenges
Every day, I faced the relentless onslaught of difficulties and challenges. It seemed as though there was no respite, no moment where I could let my guard down. The cries of "why me" echoed through my soul, just as they have through yours. But little did we realize that we were on the battlefield all along, fighting against the tide of life's trials. The battle was not outside; it was within us.
The Power of the Word of God
In the midst of the chaos, my commander reminded me that the real ammunition was not physical, but spiritual. He said that what the Lord wanted to give me was not material possessions, but His word. The word of God became a lamp to guide my path, a source of strength and refuge. As I recited His promises, I felt courage welling up within me. It was the power of His word that sustained me through each battle.
Questioning God's Purpose
In moments of weakness, I fell to my knees and cried out to my commander, questioning the purpose of this seemingly endless struggle. Many of you have experienced this same doubt, blaming family, circumstances, and even God for your lack of success. But my commander reminded me that my purpose was not determined by external factors. I was on this battlefield for a greater reason, and it was up to me to discover it.
Learning to Wait on the Lord
The enemy continued to relentlessly attack, and I grew weary. Impatience threatened to consume me, pushing me towards desperate measures. But my commander cautioned me against seeking solace in chariots and horses, in temporary fixes and shortcuts. Instead, he encouraged me to trust in the name of the Lord, for His name is a strong tower. Those who wait on the Lord, he said, will renew their strength.
Trusting in the Name of the Lord
Why resort to prostitution, rituals, or other vices when we have the Commander by our side? The battlefield may be tumultuous, but there is power in trusting Him. I discovered that the ammunition I possessed was not a physical weapon, but the authority given to me in the name of the Lord. It was through this name that I could face any adversary head-on, knowing that victory was already assured.
Fixing My Gaze on the Commander
As the enemy drew closer, my commander directed my attention to a specific direction. The painful part of the story unfolded before me, but my commander urged me to fix my gaze on him. The distractions of the battles surrounding me threatened to consume my focus, but he reminded me of the importance of keeping my eyes firmly fixed on him. It was in his presence that I found the strength to face every challenge.
Shooting with Faith
With unwavering faith, I began to shoot. Not physical ammunition, but words of power and truth. I realized that my words held weight in the spiritual realm, echoing across nations. The sound of my declaration reverberated far beyond the battlefield, reaching ears that had been longing for hope. I discovered that my voice had the power to make a global impact, all because I chose to trust in the Commander's instructions.
The Sound of Nations Hearing Me
The cries that once filled the battlefield were now transformed into songs of victory. The bullets were no longer a threat, but rather a testimony of God's faithfulness. Nations began to call on me, curious about the source of my strength. It was the revelation that my name had significance, that through me, the Lord wanted to make His name known to the world.
Making a Global Impact
But being on this battlefield was not just about personal triumph. It was about making a difference on a global scale. The Commander had entrusted me with a mission that stretched far beyond my own needs and desires. He wanted to use me as a vessel of His love and power, influencing nations, communities, and generations to come. Through my surrender and obedience, I became part of something greater than myself.
Embracing the Presence of God
In the midst of the chaos and the battles, I realized that the Commander's presence was my greatest strength. His love and guidance never faltered, even in the darkest of times. I learned to embrace His presence, recognizing that He was with me every step of the way. It was in His presence that I found the courage to face the battles, knowing that I was never alone.
Recognizing the Power of Prayer
Through it all, I discovered the power of prayer. I saw how individuals like Jesus, Peter, and countless others had sought God's face in their times of need. I realized that even as a mere mortal on the battlefield, I had the privilege of communicating with the Creator of the universe. Prayer became my lifeline, my source of strength and wisdom. It enabled me to tap into the supernatural abilities that resided within me.
In conclusion, the battlefield may be fierce, but when we trust in the Lord, fix our gaze on Him, and declare His word with unwavering faith, we can conquer any challenge that comes our way. The battles we face are not in vain; they have a purpose that extends far beyond ourselves. Together with the Commander, we can make a global impact, transforming nations through the power of His love and grace.
