Joel 2:4(The appearance of them is as the appearance of horses; and as the horsemen, so shall they run.5 Like the noise of chariots on the tops of mountains shall they leap, like the noise of a flame of fire that devoureth the stubble, as a strong people set in battle array. They shall run like a mighty men; they shall climb the wall like men of war; and they shall march everyone on his ways, and they shall not break their ranks: 8 Neither shall one thrust another; they shall walk everyone in his path: and when they fall upon the sword, they shall not be wounded).
In the race of destiny, the power of focus cannot be over
emphasized; it is one of our major weapons as an overcomer. As a believer we
are trained to focus on the goal and follow the leading of God. As long as your
eye is on the goal it will be difficult to fail. If you can see beyond the
obstacle you will definitely get to your destination. The Army of the LORD
picture in our anchor scriptures today was those who are running with the
vision that God gave them; they are men and women of purpose. They have found
what they were created to do and have been tested and came out as silver and
gold. The bible said that their appearance causes pain in the camp of their
enemies; that will be your testimony in Jesus name. Joel 2:6(Before
their face the people shall be much pained: all faces shall gather
blackness). They took over the city and no one could oppose them,
they were a terror to the kingdom of darkness. You may ask, but Nene, how come
they command so much power? Because their focus was on Him that called them to
do His work, they trust God completely without any doubt. They have been proved
and found worthy and God entrusted them with so much power to carry out His
work. Every one of them knows and respects their uniqueness; they focus on
their lane and work on the path that God has set for them. When you are focused
on your assignment every obstacle is destroyable. Some people will be so
consumed and obsessed with what others are doing that they wouldn’t even know
when they drop out of the race themselves. Satan will definitely try to do his
job, causing distraction is part of his ministry but he will fail and be
crushed just as the Army of the LORD did to him and his camp in Jesus name;
they were totally destroyed and become desolate. Friends, you are empowered to
conquer territory as a redeemed child of God. Having the knowledge of who you
are will help you to manifest your destiny to the fullest. The Army of the LORD
knew that they could overcome that’s why they confidently entered the fire,
climbed the walls and cleared the enemies off their ways; no mercy for the
wicked and no negotiation with the devil. The word of God was their sword; the
bible says it is sharper than any two-edged swords, it cuts both ways (Hebrews
4:12). (Joel 2:11 paraphrasing for he is strong that executed his word). The
word of God you hear and do is what makes you strong and more than a conqueror.
After Moses’s departure the LORD told Joshua the secret of success. Joshua
1:8(This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but that thou shall
meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all
that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then
thou shalt have good success). The LORD told him to be courageous,
strong and bold that He will always be with him, the presence of God in our
life is our confidence. The Army of the LORD was aware of His presence that’s
why they were so bold and audacious. Apostle Paul said that he lost everything
in the world in order to win Christ and he achieve that by forgetting the
things which are behind and focus on Christ who is front leading him and at the
end he said his crown was ready and waiting for him; that shall be your testimony
in Jesus name (Philippians 3:7-14, 2 Timothy 4:7-8). You
will not run the race in vain in Jesus name. Friends, let's focus on the right
things because with that we can boldly say that we have run well. Christ in you
is the hope of glory; without Christ we are hopeless (Colossians
1:27). The reason for that emptiness is because Christ has not
filled his space in your life; here is another opportunity for you to invite
him into your life because he will not force himself on you. Please take the
bold step today and be blessed in Jesus name.
Lord Jesus, I come to you today, I am a sinner, and I cannot
help myself, forgive me my sins, and cleanse me with your precious blood.
Deliver me from sin and Satan to serve the living God. Lord Jesus, I accept you
as my Lord and savior. Now I know I am Born Again, Amen.
