SABBATH SNIPPET

The Fight is Not Yours, It is God’s Fight…

BY ELDER DR MASIMBA MAVAZA

An Eagle does not fight a snake on the ground; it picks it up high into the air, thereby changing the fighting ground, then releases it back to the ground.

A snake has no stamina, no power, no balance in the air. It is useless, weak and vulnerable, unlike on the ground where it is deadly, wise and powerful.”

As a child of God, take your fight to the spiritual realm where God takes charge.

Don’t fight your battles or challenges in the physical realm; change grounds like an eagle.

You will be assured of a clean, uncontested victory.

Pray and let God take control… the battle belongs to the Lord. Do not be quick to fight your own battles.

Take them to God. He has promised to fight for you. Exodus 14:14.”The battle belongs to the Lord.”

Your fight must be rooted in biblical scripture, conveying trust in God’s sovereignty and intervention in challenges and conflicts.1.

1 Samuel 17:47: This echoes the spirit of David’s words before facing Goliath, emphasizing reliance on God. Whoever is your Goliath, fear not, God fights your battles.

2. 2 Chronicles 20:15: King Jehoshaphat receives a message telling Judah, “The battle is not yours, but God’s,” in facing overwhelming foes.

Trust and Faith: The concept underscores faith in God’s power and control over circumstances.
