#8 DAILY LIVING WITH ROYALTY (GO FOR THE OFFENSIVE)
“Then David put his hand in his bag and took out a stone; and he slung it and struck the Philistine in his forehead, so that the stone sank into his forehead, and he fell on his face to the earth.” I Samuel 17:49 (NKJV)
We are created with both offensive and defensive mechanisms, these mechanisms are activated when circumstances call; they act for us or against us depending on how they are unleashed and whose backings they have. Life will always bring you situations that will require a decision to either go the offensive or defensive.
Those who wait for victory will hardly experience one, while those who go for victory emerge victorious. David understood the art of war from his experience as an animal scientist, he had God’s backing, developed the skills required and went offensive. You struggle with life because you have refused to break out of your comfort zone and go the offensive. If you must amount in life, you must be ready to take the battle to the gate of the enemy with effective intelligence. Today, go offensive with the enemy of poverty, lack, want, business stagnation, unproductivity and non-performance. You seldom win battles being defensive; more battles are won on the offensive than on the defensive.
PRAYER
Dear LORD, I receive Your empowerment to assume the offensive against all seemingly impossible situations confronting me, with effective intelligence, guided by Your wisdom; thank You LORD, in Jesus Mighty Name!
KEEP IN MIND
If you must amount in life, you must be ready to take the battle to the gate of the enemy with effective intelligence.
