Overnight Success Takes Years Of War

Thursday, 18 April 2024

”Use all the help that GOD gives to us. Then you can be like a soldier who fights against the Devil. You must put on the whole armor that GOD gives to us. The Devil attacks us in clever ways, and we need to be strong. We are not fighting against human enemies. Instead, we are fighting against the rulers and the powerful spirits that have authority over this dark world. We are fighting against the bad spirits who live in the heavens.“ – Ephesians‬ ‭6‬:‭11‬-‭12‬ ‭EASY‬‬

We have since established that life is a fight. As soon as we enter this planet and realm, we are already a target to the enemy, especially because he knows that every child born into this earth has a special calling of GOD upon their life. Whether we choose the enemy camp or GOD’s camp, the battle does not end because both GOD and satan have a plan for the battles we encounter. While the enemy uses adversities to destroy us, GOD uses the same adversities and challenges to build and elevate us. That is the love of the GOD we serve and He has given us everything we need in order to not only fight but to conquer. No matter how bad things look, Rolling over and dying is a choice.

There will always be days where we feel broken and bruised, and even question if we have anything left in us to keep going. But as long as we have the Holy Spirit living in us, we have an unrelenting and undefeated warrior moving us on. ”Then the angel said to me, ‘The LORD said this to Zerubbabel: “You will need my Spirit. You yourself are too weak. And you do not have enough power.” This is what the LORD Almighty says:“ ‭‭Zechariah‬ ‭4‬:‭6‬ ‭EASY‬‬The problem always comes when we start relying on our own strength in life. And unfortunately, when we do that, the enemy comes for us full force because even he knows that the flesh is weak and easily broken.

The difference between those who succeed in this life and those who fail, is the fighting spirit in them. It’s easy to look at someone and label them an overnight success, but when we look deeper into their lives, we will always see a series of battles they’ve had to fight and overcome. The multiple failures and wins they have under their belts that led them to where they are.

When we accept that our battle is not against flesh and blood, we will also understand that, every single battle we embark on starts and must be first conquered in the spirit. Nothing good has ever come from attacking situations in the flesh. Our battle strategies are downloaded to us in the spirit, and the war is won through and by the Word of GOD. By putting on the full armour of GOD, we have already won the battle. The enemy can only keep trying to take us down, but even him and his demons know a true warrior when they see one.
