FAITH CAPSULE: Employ the truth, deploy lying; be a winner.

2 Chronicles 18
 
As long as there is breath of life in man journey of life continues and man does not cease from journey. Every step in the journey of life engages different battle.
How you fight your battle will determine the outcome of the battle. The battle that man engages comes up every day and the weapon to engage everyday war is walking in nothing but absolute. When truth is absolutely true, victory becomes absolute and undeniable. The case of Jehoshaphat, king of Judah and Ahab, king of Israel in the book of 2Chronicles 18 is a clear evidence to the need for absolute truth that is the truth that cannot be diluted. Ahab the king of Israel approached Jehoshaphat the king of Judah to join force with him in a battle against Syria. Jehoshaphat agreed to the request of Ahab the king of Israel. After having agreed, Ahab decided on how he was going to prosecute the battle by saying to Jehoshaphat, “I will disguise myself and go into battle; but you put on your robes. So the king of Israel disguised himself, and they went into battle.”   Ahab disguised himself and went into battle. Jehoshaphat fought the battle without disguising himself. The battle on that day became intensified for Jehoshaphat, Jehoshaphat in his truthfulness called on God and he prevailed. When battle intensified on Ahab, disguising could not prevail. Disguising, deception, or lying prevails only for a period but the truth will always prevail regardless of how long it takes the truth to come to light. The bible recorded it in 2Chronicles 19:1 that Jehoshaphat returned safely to his house in Jerusalem while Ahab died and could not return.
Is there any battle that persists in your life? Does it appear that you are losing? Are you fighting the Jehoshaphat way or the Ahab way? There is a need for fighting our battle on a ground of truth that is on a regular basis without diluting the truth. Exchange your entire weapon for truth. Truth is the only way. Try it today and reap the fruit of a winner.
Withdraw from disguising or deceit; draw unto the truth. In 2Timothy 3:16-17 it is written that scripture is an inspiration of God and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness. The word of God is not mere story telling they are sent by God to profit us when we apply it. The word is all that is needed to be equipped with our day to day battle. Employ the truth, deploy lying; be a winner.
 
Prayer for today:Ask for the word of God to reign and rule in every area of your life.
