Stop Seeing Giants - FIGHT BACK 2

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

At some point in the history of Israel, they became terrified of the Philistines and lived in fear of them. The Philistines took undue advantage of that fear and harassed and oppressed the Israelites. Quite soon. God raised Samson, a young man who was not intimidated by the size and number of the Philistines. A one man riot army, Samson dealt a huge offensive to the Philistines and killed even more of them at his death. Please read Judges Chapters


Do not quit. Do not be discouraged. Stay put. Keep trying beloved because you can do it. No upward movement is easy. What is easy is a downward movement. When you find life stress free, chances are you are going downhill. Beloved, you also can fight back any opposition on your path to progress and success if you are determined to do so.

The people of Israel sang praises to God and the walls of Jericho came down. The shut gates of Jericho alongside fortified walls which constituted a blockade and barrier to the safe passage and progress of the children of Israel to the Promised Land collapsed by God’s divine intervention.

Zerubbabel was despised when he started building the temple. He experienced great opposition from the enemies of Israel who were opposed to the rebuilding of the temple. Please read Ezra Chapter 6 verse 14. But he completed it because he was focused and determined to do so. In essence he developed strong staying skills and fought the opposition with his great determination to succeed despite the fierce opposition.

The Apostle experienced fierce opposition in the course of the ministry. The opposition was so fierce that he said that he fought with wild beasts at Ephesus. Those wild beasts in quote were humans who were opposed to his ministry. Additionally, they were politically and economically strong and therefore to some extent were giants. But Paul refused to see them as giants and consequently put on his boxing gloves, albeit the weapon of prayer. The Apostle Paul not only dislodged them but succeeded in planting a flourishing Church in Ephesus.

Beloved, you can accomplish more if you change your perception. See beyond the ordinary and be the spiritual giant God created you to be in Christ Jesus so that you can get to the heights God purposed for you before the foundation of the world. Therefore, make a self-conscious effort to develop the power to always fight back as well as develop the great ability of strong staying skills; skills which enable you to persevere in spite of whatever odds you encounter.
