Advance Like a Lion

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

The lion is described in Proverbs Chapter 30 verse 30 as a n animal that moves with stately bearing, moving majestically. This is to say that the lion always walks majestically. It is also described as mighty among beasts and does not retreat before anyone or anything.

The lion fights through every opposition until victory is assured even if it has to devour the opposition. Please see Numbers Chapters 23 verse 24 and 24 verse 9.  

The lion is neither afraid nor disturbed by the noise of a multitude of shepherds when it roars over its prey. Please see Isaiah Chapter 31 verse 4.

The journey to self discovery, personal development, relationship management, wealth creation, grooming, ethics and values as well as successful Christian living is usually fraught with challenges that if well managed constitute stepping stones. Some of the challenges include lack of faith, doubts, self doubt, fear, confusion, worry and anxiety, poor self image, wrong conditioning, wrong environment, limiting mindsets, ignorance, negative past experiences, refusal to let go of the past, unforgiveness, bitterness, resentment, threats and intimidation.

To advance like a lion in the journey of life means that you have to comport yourself like royalty, moving majestically irrespective of what the circumstances are. Additionally, do not turn back in fear before anyone or situation or circumstance or anything. Let nothing intimidate you into retreating or surrendering. Always advance like a lion so that you are always exercising dominion as God ordained for you from the foundation of the world. Please see Genesis Chapter 1 verse 28, Psalm 110 verse 2. Do not be intimidated, afraid, or disturbed by any conspiracy or unholy alliances because God will cause all such conspiracies and alliances to self destruct in Jesus mighty name. Please see Isaiah Chapter 8 verses 9 to 12, 2nd Chronicles Chapter 20, Numbers Chapter 23 and Lamentations Chapter 3 verse 37.

It is time to recover with speed all that the devil stole from you. Stand your ground, be diligent, do not sleep and do not be slothful (Hebrews Chapter 10 verses 35 to 39). Move into hundred percent victories or nothing else. Recover all that the enemy stole from you in Jesus mighty name. Report every opposition to God who is your father and see God fight for you. He is your Ebenezer, your stone of help. God will slow down your enemies and give you speed.

Salvation is all encompassing and includes deliverance from all the tricks and strategies of the enemy. You are free because Jesus set you free. Therefore you cannot be bound. Jesus paid the full price for your deliverance. The resurrection power destroys every hold of satan on victims to set them completely free. Therefore, NO NEGOTIATIONS with the devil. Do not concede anything to him. Rather, resist him fiercely with the word of God and prayer. Pray without ceasing. Reject every presentation of the devil.

Peter was released from prison by an angel. Mordecai and the Jews were spared just at the nick of time. God always shows up with an escape plan. Therefore, do not let any satanic pronouncements or activities bother you – who is he that speaks and it comes to pass when God has not spoken. God takes captivity captive by showing up in situations that appear to have no exit doors.

There is a turning point of God’s goodness in your life. There are things God perfected in eternity – 1st Samuel Chapter 17 verses 48 to 53. The hunted has now become the hunter. You are no longer the hunted. You are now the hunter. Arise – its your season, its your moment. Come against whatever has been hunting you in Jesus mighty name. You will not fear again in Jesus mighty name. The testimony begins now. You will pursue, overtake the enemy and recover all in Jesus mighty name.

The Bible gives advance information of what God has done and will yet do in the lives of believers. There are things that you know about God and your mission in life that gives you unshakable confidence in God’s faithful deliverance, protection and provision and promotion in spite of the challenges that life throws at you. When you live in the realm of the prophetic of God’s word, you are beyond any form of satanic manipulation and oppression. A righteous lifestyle gives person boldness. The righteous are as bold as lions. When challenges come, your lifestyle, your rootedness in Christ saves you. Take authority again and advance like a lion because God has an escape plan for you.
