*WHEN GOD'S "YES" APPEARS LIKE A "NO"* (I)
_Key Bible Text:_
*"Before the battle the Israelites went to Bethel and asked God, "Which tribe should go first to attack the people of Benjamin?" The Lord answered, "Judah is to go first." But Benjamin's warriors, who were defending the town, came out and killed 22,000 Israelites on the battlefield that day."* (Judges 20:18,21 (NLT))
_Bible Insight:_
A very interesting story it was. Benjamintes have done the unthinkable and unpardonable by every standard. You will see the gory details in Chapter 19 of the Book of Judges. The rest of the tribe of Israel demands that the culprits must be brought to book. But the Benjamintes would not agree. Hence, they went to war against Israel.
Not to be too forward, the Israelites asked God, if they should go up to battle against their brethren the Benjamintes. God said YES and even directed that the people of Judah should take the lead. They went, but alas, the Benjamintes defeated them, and killed 22,000 soldiers of Israel. 🥺
How can it be? How can you seek the face of God, hear God right, and still not have the expected results? How can you do everything right, yet it appears the evil tides are winning? What do you do when it seems everything is working against you, even when you have done nothing wrong?
_MEDITATION:_
*"For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts."* (Isaiah 55:8-9 (KJV))

*Keep Fighting The Good Fight of Faith*
_Key Bible Text:_
*"I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith"* 2 Timothy 4:7 (KJV))
_Bible Insight:_
Life is a battle field. If you won't fight, you won't live. You fought your way through to life, according to biology. You weren't the only one to run the race that brought you into human life, but you survived because you didn't quit.
Everyone is fighting. Everyone is fighting for what they believe in. This is true whether you are conscious of it or not. Unconsciously, you are what you are today, because of the fights you suffered yesterday.
If you don't fight right, you won't attain to much in life. Many today are non achievers or achieving below their potentials, because they are not fighting well, and consistently.
For your life to become what God has called you to be, you must fight. You fight with all kinds of things. You fight again laziness, weariness, hopelessness, poor or wicked government policies, poor parental background, or over pampering parental background, wicked uncles, aunts and relations, peer pressure, procrastination, poor road conditions, poor working conditions, poor waste management system, poor or erratic electric supply, inflation, lack of job, etc
Everyone is involved in this fight, but what makes the difference is how much faith you put in the fight! A lot of people give little or no faith to the fights of their life. Or rather, they focus on the wrong fights, put more faith in the wrong causes and end up losing the very fights they should have focused on.
Knowing what fights to fight and which ones to suffer defeat at or completely ignore is key. Keep fighting the good fight of faith. Fight for your relationship with God. Fight for your spiritual growth. Fight for your future. Fight for your nation's growth and progress. Fight for the future of your children. Fight for your greatness and destiny. Fight for the poor and downtrodden. Fight for the salvation of the unsaved. Fight for the lost and backslidden. Fight for your eternity and lay hold unto eternal life.
_MEDITATION:_
*"I therefore so run, not as uncertainly; so fight I, not as one that beateth the air: But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway."* -- 1 Corinthians 9:26-27 (KJV)

*Keep Confessing Your Dreams*
_Key Bible Text:_
*"And Joseph dreamed a dream, and he told it his brethren: and they hated him yet the more.And he said unto them, Hear, I pray you, this dream which I have dreamed."* (Genesis 37:5-6 (KJV))
_Bible Insight:_
God speaks in the present the future. He calls the things that be not, as though they were. No matter what you may be going through, no matter how impossible your dream may appear going by present circumstances, keep the dream alive by talking about it.
It is a good thing Joseph did not hide his dreams from his family. His family's response, especially his siblings, was wrong, but that is on them. It was their bad. Joseph was right to have shared his dreams. If he can't share his dreams with his own family, where else will he share his dreams?
Continue to give your dreams the needed expression. Don't just keep them all to yourself. In the confession of your dreams, lies the realization of them. What you don't speak into existence, may just remain in your potential.
The realities of life come into existence for the man who confesses and continues to work towards his beliefs and dreams. Don't just shut them locked up within you.
Whether it be personal dreams or dreams regarding your nation, don't quit on them. Keep confessing them until they become your reality. Just like Martin Luther King JR kept voicing his dreams! And the confession must begin with yourself. Tell yourself what you want to become and keep saying it.
_MEDITATION:_
*"Let us not wallow in the valley of despair. I say to you, my friends, we have the difficulties of today and tomorrow."*
*"I still have a dream. It is a dream deeply rooted in the American dream."*
*"I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed. We hold these truths to be self-evident that all men are created equal."* -- Martin Luther King JR

*Keep Hope Alive*
_Key Bible Text:_
*"Some trust in chariots, and some in horses: but we will remember the name of the LORD our God.They are brought down and fallen: but we are risen, and stand upright. Save, LORD: let the king hear us when we call."* (Psalms 20:7-9 (KJV))
_Bible Insight:_
David kept his hope alive. When King Saul was determined to make his life, not just miserable but a thing of the past. David continued to hope in God. He didn't allow the pressure and witch hunting of King Saul make him give up faith in His calling to Kingship.
Abraham kept hope alive. He was not perfect but with respect to God's promise to him, he believed God. His age and his wife's were not speaking possibilities, but against hope he kept hope alive.
Mary the mother of Jesus kept hope alive. He never asked to become any heroe's mother. But when the news came from an angel that God has chosen her for a special assignment, she kept hope alive.
Several others did the same-- they kept hope alive. Paul and Silas in the prison. Joseph in Potiphar's house and eventually in the prison too. And what about you?
Life never promises a smooth path to victory. A promising life is always one that keeps the promises of hope alive. Hope promises a better tomorrow. Hope promises light at the end of the tunnel. Hope promises a joyful morning, after the mournful night.
It is time to keep hope alive. No matter the situation. No matter the challenges. No matter the difficulties. Don't despair and don't give up the fight for the future you believe in. Do your very best to catch a better tomorrow, but when you are done trying, trust God for the best.
_MEDITATION:_
*"For to him that is joined to all the living there is hope: for a living dog is better than a dead lion.."* (Ecclesiastes 9:4 (KJV))

*THE STUFF OF A SUCCESSFUL MARRIAGE* (VI)
_Key Bible Text:_
*"Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself."* (Ephesians 5:25, 28 (KJV))
_Bible Insight:_
7. Don't just fall in love. Stay in love.
It is easier to fall in love than to stay in love. Everyone falls in love, or something that looks like that. But to stay in love with one partner for years till death is the real deal!
To stay in love, you must decide or choose to love daily. I look at my wife as she sleeps sometimes, and can't help but remind myself how much I love her and want to keep loving her. To fall in love can be the work of hormones and emotions but to stay loving is the work of a decision born in a heart that understands commitment.
The love that is most true and real is the love that has almost "seen you finish", but still never gets over you. That love, is not hanging on because of perfection or false idea of perfection but because of commitment and genuineness. This is why the great talks about compatibility or incompatibility is nothing but a show of poor understanding of commitment and poor understanding of how love is supposed to work.
The love that builds a home and marriage that stands the test of time and remains true in every season, is one that is rooted in the love of Christ. Such love must take after the Christ kind of commitment. Always true, always abiding and ever loving. This is the love that wins.
Not the love that only waits till someone else takes the initiative nor the love that does not remain hopeful in the face of stormy waters or delayed troubles or unexpected challenges. Rather, the love that wins is the love that keeps striving to obey God and maintain the God kind of love standard.
_MEDITATION:_
*"The Love that wins is the God kind of love. It is beyond emotions and natural feelings. It is about yielding to the prompts of the Holy Spirit, always."*
