24/7 DOXA Content, 20th March-PREPARING FOR EXPLOITS
_____________________________________
FOCAL TEXT: Proverbs 21 vs 31►► ”The horse is prepared for the day of battle, but deliverance is of the LORD”~|NKJV|_____________________________________
SHALOM greetings Cherished one. Adequate preparation is needed in almost every facet of life. Even in music, great preparation precedes excellent performance. Our focal text unveils that a horse is prepared for the day of battle, not on the day of battle. If you prepare only on the day of battle, you may end up being a casualty. Preparation is very vital because there are diverse challenges in this life which demands toughness and a persistent approach. *Preparation implies being made ready, set up, determined and endowed with the required resources for a task ahead. It is one way to arm yourself with the right weapons or tools to face a particular challenge.*
*A life of great exploits is not achieved in a pool of laziness, ignorance, idleness or fancy talks.* It is achieved with a conscious effort of building up knowledge and applying practical wisdom in life. However, as a child of God created anew in Christ, you must understand the battle from a different perspective. One, your battle is a fight of faith against all the wiles, deceptions and works of the enemy. Two, you fight from victory, as a winner. Thus, you are already made more than a conqueror to triumph over any challenges (Romans 8:31-38). *You are born victorious in Christ to maintain or enforce or walk in the victory Christ worked for you.*
