Balak Must Fail
Numbers 22 : 22-31 tells us about a battle the Lord used His angel to fight for the children of Israel without their knowing. From the very moment the angel of the Lord appeared on the scene, the evil and wicked plans of Balak to use Balaam against the children of Israel was totally disorganized and frustrated.
Balak of our time is;
👉 That envious household enemy,
👉 That envious evil friend around us at school, at our office, where we live etc that detests us and our progress. As such, is doing evil things to pull us down at all cost.
But in this coming year..., the warring angels of God's presence shall take over our battles and strike them down one after the other.
The Balak that vowed to obstruct, steal and destroy our life's goals and destiny shall be frustrated and terminated in Jesus powerful name🙏 (amen)
That we are serving God faithfully does not immune us against the troubles of life. On that note, Beloved, it is not strange to face attack of the enemies. Especially in our post-modern society where it is not uncommon to hear people mock God, make derogatory comments about the bible, ridicule christianity, taunt and persecute us because we are christians. When confronted with such situation(s), be not dismay, frightened, intimidated or ashamed for our times are not in the hand of our enemies and they cannot harm us without God's permission. We should also not be hasty to conclude that God has cut us off when it appears He is not responding to our prayers.
On our part, we need to recommit ourselves to Him in total obedience, replace our wrong with right and our humanistic pride with humility.
Experientially and from the practical advice of the psalmist for all believers, love the Lord, be strong and take heart (Psalm 31:15-24) - There is no greater counsel than this in times of distress.
Rather than give up or despair, look back to your previous experiences of God's deliverance. Also look forward to when you will overcome the present situation too.
Be rest assured, no man can determine your fate. The Lord will vindicate you soon.
In view of this knowledge, do this 👇
Action: Begin to acknowledge the greatness and the goodness of God on those who fear and trust in Him(Psalm 31:19).
Secondly, prayerfully call for angelic assistance to war in your favour this coming year 2023

ATTACKS FROM SATAN
Satan only attacks what threatens him and his operations, if your life/Ministry is not a threat to him, then he has no business attacking you.
Ever wondered why things seem to be working for unbelievers but Christians appear to be frustrated in life🤔? The answer is, either you or your parents took a decision to live for God and no longer Satan, hence a battle line was drawn!
Still wondering🤔 why marriage and child conception was easier in the olden days? Whereas barrenness, late marriage...seems to be on the increase today?
Reason is because in the olden days, allegiance was to satan.
I repeat *If your life/ministry is not a threat to satan, then he has no business attacking you.*
Oppositions only comes to those in positions, only the tree with ripe fruits attracts stone, only a player with ball receives attacks, if you are experiencing any form of attack on your life and Ministry, then welcome to real life of a christian/Pastor.
If satan does not attack you directly, he uses people especially those close to you. Expect this always because it's part of the package. He may come with issue through scarcity or anything capable of pulling you down etc.
NOTE:
NO BELIEVER/PASTOR IS IMMUNE FROM BATTLES, THE HIGHER YOU GO, THE TOUGHER IT BECOMES.
What To Do?
✔️ DON'T BE DISCOURAGE/GIVE UP - (Hold/call upon God the more so that the loser will remain a loser. Since he could not win in heaven, he will not win in your life/ministry).
✔️ ENCOURAGE YOURSELF, (Knowing that many are the afflictions of the righteous but God delivers us from it ALL)
✔️ MY FELLOW SOLDIERS IN CHRIST, MOVE ON BECAUSE REWARD AWAITS US !
HUMAN CHOICE OF LIFE BASE ON THE VOICES FROM ETERNITY
It is worthy to note that there are two great voices governing the affairs of men upon the earth.
Apart from the natural voice of the inner dimension of man, there are two great voices seeking permission to manifest through man.
In Gen 2 : 16 - 17 There's this first voice that spoke to our first parent in Eden. But in Gen 3 : 4 - 5 another came to also introduce a wisdom to them.
Now, all the voices are advertising a particular wisdom to man.
The voice of man's inner speakings introduces weak wisdom, the voice of Satan introduce wicked wisdom and the voice of God brings about weighty wisdom.
God had spoken to Adam and it brought about life, but Satan went to speak to them also and because man chose to obey satan he died - It's a choice.
Every man's life is a reflection of a particular wisdom he submits to on a daily basis.
Which voice have you been living by as you do your day to day activity? Which voice have you constructed your life after? After what line of wisdom have you pattern your life?
Consider therefore this moment and gain understanding that it's only the voice of(God) the weighty wisdom that you are expected to live by throughout your sojourn on earth.
Prayer: Lord help me to always live by the wisdom that comes from above in Jesus name (Amen)
