formed the faith of this young ruler in the God of his ancestors. He heard of how God with strong hand and great wealth brought his ancestors up from Egypt. He was told how all the first born of Egypt were slaughtered by that angel in the night. He heard how the king of Egypt and all his horse men perished in the sea; while pursuing the people of God. They must have told him how the Red sea and River Jordan parted ways for his ancestors. He heard how God fed them with manna and quail and water from the rock. He heard that their sandals and clothes did not wear out throughout that journey. He heard how God miraculously healed them through the brazen serpent. He heard how the LORD mysteriously and miraculously disorganized, displaced and defeated their enemies. In fact, he has been hearing all that God did for and with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and the subsequent generations. And now he proudly calls Him, “The God of my ancestors, my LORD!”

      Yes, if God did not fail his ancestor, then He will not fail Jehoshaphat. Faith is built on the word of God. Faith is always built on testimonies and experiences. If God did it yesterday, He will also do it again because He cannot change. The bible said that He is the same yesterday, today and forever! Listen, I’m sure He will not fail you in this battle that you are going through. Don’t be afraid! He is the maker and the controller of the heaven and the earth. He is the ruler of all the kingdoms of the world, of the waters and those under them. Praise God!

      

      As you go into this battle, you must have it in mind as King Jehoshaphat that our God; the Supreme Commander of the forces of heaven and earth is the Almighty and the most powerful, and that no one can stand against Him. True. Nobody! This correct understanding is very crucial if you must win. Nobody can win Him in a battle. No power can displace Him. He is higher, bigger, stronger and mightier than all. Jehoshaphat had this understanding and information as he knelt down and made that monumental supplication for God’s intervention that night. All these helped to reduce the tension within Him. He knew that the person he is approaching is capable and willing to deliver him and his people. Do you have this kind of confidence in God? Do you see Him as the LORD, your LORD, the Almighty and most powerful? Get my book Power of Midnight Prayer now to increase you faith and confidence in God.

      It is Our Inheritance

––

      “O our God, did you not drive out those who lived in this land when your people arrived? And did you not give this land forever to the descendants of your friend Abraham? Your people settled here and built this temple for you.”

      2 Chronicles 20:7-8

      All the battles you see in and around you are just war being waged against your destiny. Yes, against the plan of God for your life, against your future, your career, your family and against your happiness. True. The enemy has seen the plan of God for your life. He knows that soon you will fully realize your destiny, hence, his persistent onslaught against you from all directions. And the brighter your destiny, the greater battles you will face in this life. Go and ask people like Jesus and David about this. The battle you are going through now is because of the greatness of your destiny.

      No nation since the beginning of the world has faced battles and wars like the Jews. From its formation till present it has been wars, wars and wars. They have not rested. Sometimes, it will look as if they have been displaced, defeated and even dispersed, but miraculously, mysteriously they will begin to gather again and form yet another strong hopeful nation. Sometimes, they will be taken into captivity, and everything about them destroyed for hundreds of years, and yet, that unseen hand would come back to pick their ruined pieces and stitch them back into a people. That is the story of Israel the people of God.

      And what is at play? There has been war over the soul and destiny of this people right from inception. Immediately God initiated the messianic promise through Abraham, the battle began. God had told Abraham that He would blessed him, make a great nation out of him and also bless all the nations of the world through him. And in this contains the blessings and destiny of the nation of Israel and the promise of the messiah. Because Jesus Christ is that descendant of Abraham that has/will bless all the nations of the world. From here, the battle began to derail this project. Read the history of the nation of Israel and the Messiah it is indeed one riddled with intense battles, wars, oppositions, betrayal, etc. And who is at the head of all these? Of course Satan! He is the archenemy of God and all His projects on earth. He always knows that the fulfillment of any of God’s project on earth will ultimately deal a blow to him and his dark kingdom. It also reminds him of his own doomed destiny.

      It is very important that you know this before we continue. The initiator of all these battles you are facing is Satan. Yes, he might use people, demons, circumstances and other instruments, but he is the mastermind. The sooner you know this the better for you. Yes, always see the man behind the scene – the unseen hand; that old Devil, Lucifer, the old serpent, that deceiver. And also know that the battle is for your destiny. The battle is against the program of God for your life. Now, let’s return quickly to our main discussion.

      King Jehoshaphat strategically and systematically reminded God that what the enemy is contending for was what God has given to His people and His friend. Wow! Can you beat that? Remember I told you that this is one of the most powerful prayers and made by one of the most favoured men I have found in the bible. True! Though they were in a desperate situation, yet he took his time to systematically argue out his case before God. We must not allow desperate situations to overshadow of faith in God. Jehoshaphat took time to stay before God because he knew that if he succeeds in getting Him on his side then the battle would have been over. Judah will be victorious even before the war starts.

      Now, he told God that it was the same land He gave to His friend Abraham and Israel under an oath that these enemies want to take away. Israel’s inheritance! Are you sure of what you are currently fighting for? Is it yours? Did God give it to you? Is it your inheritance, your right, or are you just fighting for selfish reasons?? Jehoshaphat went for it because he was sure it was theirs from God. That land was given to Israel by God through a covenant. Now, listen to God as He gave this particular place to Abraham hundreds of years before this battle,

      “So the LORD made a covenant with Abram that day and said, ‘I have given this land to your descendants, all the way from the border of Egypt to the great Euphrates River. The land of the Kenites, Kenizzites, Kadmonites, Hittites, Perizites, Rephaites, Amorites, Canaanites, Girgashites, and Jebusites.”
