Proverbs 24:5-6 TPT
[5] Wisdom can make anyone into a mighty warrior, and revelation-knowledge increases strength. [6] Wise strategy is necessary to wage war, and with many astute advisers you’ll see the path to victory more clearly.
Beloved,
If you will win in life, you must have the right strategy in place. Christ, in His infinite mercy has given us that strategy through the power of His word. Let’s pick up where we left off last time as we look at critical steps or strategies He has made available to us.
- Sow seeds ahead.
Galatians 6:7-9 NKJV
[7] Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap. [8] For he who sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap corruption, but he who sows to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap everlasting life. [9] And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart.
To win in life, you must have a seed. A winning strategy in the season of famine is to find a seed to break the ground.
- Build for the future. To build for the future, you cannot afford to use the funds that are needed to meet the obligations of your present season to plan for your future. What guarantees the future is funds from your savings and your investments. So, save and invest wisely. From every income a believer makes, the portion of God must first be taken out: tithe, offering, seed. It is to honor God for giving you the power to make that money. The second portion to be removed are funds towards your financial obligations. From that income, you should also bless others financially, save, and then invest wisely.
- Ensure you secure a supportive alliance that will ascertain your victory, Numbers 14:42-45 helps us to put these in order:
- The presence of God (Exodus 33) You cannot do without this one. Let the anointing go with you.
- The Holy Spirit (John 15:26, AMPC) As stated above, you cannot afford, to do life without His leading and indwelling.
- Your encourager (1 Samuel 14:6-7)
- A man of God. (2 Kings 6:1-This can be your God ordained pastor/ father/mother in destiny, God ordained discipler, etc.
- Fellow fighters. God always places the solitary in families. You are not alone. Ask God to reveal to you your destiny team and your God-ordained church.
Finally, develop a winning mindset and spirit. Every battle is first won in the mind. Don’t go into a battle you have the resources for, but not the mind for.
I commend you to God and to the word of His grace.
I call you blessed. I call you NATIONS.
