Disguising the truth is deception; will hinder the testimony of a beliver.

How you fight your battle will determine the outcome of the battle. The battle you fight comes up every day and the weapon of war has to be a consistent truth. When truth is consistent, victory will be absolute. The case of Jehoshaphat, king of Judah and Ahab, king of Israel in the book of 2Chr. 18&19 is a clear evidence.

In the face of battle, 2Chr.18:29 Ahab said to Jehoshaphat, ÒI will disguise myself and go into battle; but you put on your robes.Ó Ahab disguised himself and went into battle. Jehoshaphat fought the battle without disguising himself. In verses 31 &32, battle intensified, Jehoshaphat called on God and he prevailed. When battle intensified on Ahab, disguising could not prevail. Disguising, deception, or lying will only prevail for a period but the truth will always prevail regardless of how long it takes the truth to come to light. The bible recorded in 2Chr.19: 1 that Jehoshaphat returned safely to his house in Jerusalem.

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 you to fight your battle on a ground of 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.

~World Worded~

In 2Tim.3:4 it is written that scripture is an inspiration of God and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness.

Those words are not mere story telling they are sent by God to profit us when we apply it. This is the equipment you need in your day to day battle. Employ the truth, deploy lying; be a winner.  

~In your camp~

It is possible to have God in your camp and you being camped out unto defeat.

1Sam.4:5, when God came into the camp, all Israel shouted so loudly that the earth shook. In vs. 6&7, when the Philistines heard the noise they wondered why the noise and they understood and said ÒGod has come to the campÓ. Notwithstanding, they fought and Israel was defeated and great slaughter was recorded for Israel and the ark of God was captured. One will wonder how that could be when they were having God in camp. With God in your camp, have you been facing defeat? If yes, there is a need that you check your distance from God.  It could be that you are consciously or unconsciously far from Him by virtue of carelessness. He has sent His word that He will never leave us nor forsake us. In that particular battle that you are on the verge of losing, God is in your camp but you are out of camp away from Him.

~Return~

In 1Sam.7:3, Samuel asked the Children of Israel to return to the Lord with all hearts, put foreign god away, prepare your hearts for the LORD, and serve Him only. The children of Israel returned and vs.7-13 pointed out how the Philistines were confused, pursued, and subdued. Above all, they restored all that the Philistines took away. Our battle is not lost, victory is not too late the requirement is to return and submit all to God, He will subdue all on our behalf.           

The prescription for peace is to be rejoicing in hope,

patient in tribulation, continuing steadfastly in prayer

(Rm. 12:12)
