“Victory in warfare is a function of superiority of strategy.” – Pastor Sam Adeyemi
Exodus 13:17 – 14:31
God chooses our battles. He chooses when, where, and how we fight. Because the choice is His, if we follow His leading and guidance, we are assured to win.
Jeremiah 10:23 states, “O Lord, I know that the way of man is not in himself: it is not in man that walketh to direct his steps.” The wise man Solomon further explains that, “A man’s heart deviseth his way: but the Lord directeth his steps” – Proverbs 16:9.
God, in choosing our battles, considers our frame. He will not allow you to be tempted above that ye are able…. 1 Corinthians 10:13. Our battles are proportional to our strength.
God is not only able but He will. He will use the things in our environment that only He has control of (like the strong east wind) to make a way when none is visible. Solomon says that this ability of God is not just confined to nature, but even the king’s heart is in the hand of the Lord, as the rivers of water: he turneth it whithersoever he will (Proverbs 21:1).
The God that divided the waters and made a road in the sea can surely make a way of escape, a way of forward mobility for you. The way that God makes for you is yours. Your battles are custom-made for you, designed just for you. They were made to individual specifications. No one else can fit like you can. When they try to walk where you have walked in battle, they will experience defeat and destruction.
The sea represented the roadblock/obstacle/hindrance to their deliverance. But the sea also became their way of escape. What was their way of escape was the tool of destruction for their pursuers, their enemies. The way that God makes for you is for you. For others, it may be a tool of destruction, but for you a means of deliverance. WALK INTO THE MIDST OF THE SEA!
Your victory is assured this day. All that is required of you is great trust in God and expeditious movement. Will you trust that God has the superior strategy for your life today?
MOVEMENT + TRUST = VICTORY
