"Blessed be the Lord my strength which teacheth my hands to war, and my fingers to fight:" (Psalms 144:1, KJV)
Life is a battle field and while God did not say it was going to be an easy ride, He did say that with Him on our side we will certainly overcome.
"When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee." (Isaiah 43:2, KJV)
After every battle is a reward because there are blessings attached to being overcomers but these blessings will remain inaccessible to many unless they are ready to do battles and we know that our battles are fought in the place of prayer.
Perhaps someone is asking why he must fight if God has released His blessings.
We must fight because 1 Corinthians 16:9 says:
"For a great door and effectual is opened unto me, and there are many adversaries."
There are adversaries who are in contention with our glorious destinies and will never let us have our place in God's plan without a fight!
Sin altered God's plan for mankind and our adversaries, the devil and his cohorts, after being responsible for man's fall will still not allow man enjoy what rightfully belongs to him without a fight and God expects us to fight back for that which rightly belongs to us, that is why Deuteronomy 2:24 says:
"Rise ye up, take your journey, and pass over the river Arnon: behold, I have given into thine hand Sihon the Amorite, king of Heshbon, and his land: begin to possess it, and contend with him in battle."
Even though God had given them the land for their inheritance, they still had to fight to possess it. So there are certain blessings you can never access without a fight.
"If it is of value to us then we would fight for it!"
The Psalmist said that God has taught his hands to war and his fingers to fight and Apostle Paul said in Ephesians 6:12 that our battle is not with flesh and blood but against the forces of darkness.
You see, you can never win these battles on your own that is why you need Jesus Christ.Accept Jesus Christ today so that you can win the battles of life.
You are blessed!
