THE ARMY OF GOD WORKS BETTER BY TEAMWORK
SOLDIERS OF CHRIST YOU CAN’T DO IT ALONE, YOU NEED PRAYER PARTNERS
BE CAREFUL HOW YOU FIGHT, ASK YOUR CAPTAIN (GOD) FOR METHODOLOGY
WHEN IT COMES TO WARFARE YOU CAN’T BEAT YOUR CAPTAIN IN WAR METHODS, HE KNOWS BETTER THAN YOU AND THE METHOD HE WANTS YOU TO USE MIGHT NOT EVEN MAKE SENSE.
-Pastor E A Adeboye
When you see the soldiers marching on the day of parade, what you’re seeing is a product of several years of going through the bootcamp and all kinds of training that will toughen them, so that they will become men of steel. 2nd Timothy 2:4. You cannot live like a civilian, you cannot get yourself entangled with the things of the world, you’re called to be a soldier. Acts 10:38. Our Captain went about doing good and doing good interprets to me as healing the sick, which I have told you before meant killing germs, viruses and setting captives free from the oppression of Satan, you have to fight to set the captives free.
Now, as the Father sent Him so He sent us and what are we to do? Matthew 10:7-8. We are to preach the Kingdom of God which is another way of depopulating the Kingdom of Satan, we are to heal the sick, cleanse lepers, we are even to raise the dead, rub those that Satan thought he has already got into his abode in hell, to bring them back. You see there is something the almighty God said to Elijah here that I want to bring to your attention today. He said anyone who escapes the sword of Hazael, Jehu was to slay, those who escape from Jehu, Elisha was to slay, that means the Army of God is in teamwork, everything must be teamwork, someone may escape the sword of Hazael, Jehu must be willing to go to war and support Hazael and if someone fails or if someone escape the sword of Jehu, Elisha is to step in. Ecclesiastes 4:9-12. Two are better than one and he explains why, in case one falls the other will support him and when you have three of them, they become unbreakable.
Matthew 18:19-20. The almighty God told us, if two of you shall agree concerning anything on earth then my Father in Heaven will give it to you. He said where two or three are gathered in my name I will be there. Soldiers of Christ you can’t do it alone, you need prayer partners, you need people who will stand with you in agreement, there are some wars you can’t just fight alone.
When you want to go to war on behalf of your Captain, of course the wisest thing to do is to start by consulting the captain, ask him for directions. 2nd Samuel 5:18-25. The Philistines gathered against David; David asked God should I go after them? And the Lord Said yes, go after them, you will defeat them, because I will go with you. So, David went and gave the Philistines some nasty blows and they fled, after sometimes they grouped up again and this time David said Lord I was able to beat them last time should I go after them again, the Lord said no, hold on, the methodology this time is going to be different, the first time you went against them in a frontal attack, this time make a circle round them and wait till you hear a moving of the wind on top the mulberry tree, then you’ll know it’s time to strike.
When it comes to warfare you can’t beat your Captain in war methods, he knows better than you and the method he wants you to use might not even make sense. Joshua 6:1-end. Joshua was ready for action, in the previous chapter, here was Jericho surrounded with a very mighty wall. So, mighty according to historian, if it falls down it will still be as tall as it was when it was originally standing and then the captain and visited Joshua and he said Well this is how we are going to take this City, for six days march round it once a day, one the seventh day go round seven times and not a word must be spoken, after the seventh time on the seventh day then roar, shout and the wall will crumble, not just fall down, it will crumble.
Be careful how you fight, ask your Captain for methodology, cooperate with your Captain. Many times when your Captain wants to fight for you, He will ask you to do something, for example, Exodus 14:1-28.
When Pharaoh with all his host came against Israel by the Red sea, God told Moses, you’re going to open a way in the Red sea for your people to match through, raise your hand against the Red sea, raising my hands against the Red sea will divide the Red sea, No, God is simply asking you to obey, he obeyed, he raised his hands and God caused a mighty east wind to blow, cooperation, you do what he asks you to do and let him finish the Job.
