Dear friend, it is a joy to greet you today. Let us have an attitude of victory from the Lord today. As it is written in the Book of Jeremiah 20:11, “The Lord is with me like a mighty warrior.” That is how He leads His children, being a mighty warrior, giving us success after success. He opens doors for us and destroys every opposition to God’s will in our lives. Yes, my friend, even today, let us claim Him to be our mighty warrior in all things. Yet sometimes we wonder why we do not feel Him, why the Lord is not rising up to be our warrior. It is because we carry all our anxiousness and fears before Him, saying, “I have to do this, I have to succeed, I must handle everything.” We take all the load upon ourselves. No, my friend, allow the Lord to be your mighty warrior in your battles.

When I was little, I gave my first message to a group of students. It was prepared by my grandfather, and as I began to speak, I was simply reading, keeping my eyes down. But when I looked at the students, I started sweating and rushed through the message. I felt so nervous, wondering how I, as a little boy, could speak among others. It was only later in my ministry that I learned to pray, “Oh Lord, be revealed within me. Rise up within me. You speak, Lord. You do this work for me. You perform wonders.” I began surrendering everything to the Lord Jesus, and then the Holy Spirit would rise up in my heart and fight for me as a mighty warrior.

Then His wisdom, His grace, and all ability began to flow. The power of God flowed, bringing great impact and great success. Dear friend, in the same way, may the Lord rise up for you today, giving you victory in every battle. Do not carry the burden alone; let Him fight for you. Shall we claim this promise right now and walk in His victory?

PRAYER: 
Dear Lord, You are my Mighty Warrior, strong and victorious in every battle. Forgive me for carrying burdens You never asked me to bear. Today, I surrender every fear, every struggle, and every challenge to You. Rise up within me and fight for me, O Lord. Let Your wisdom, grace, and power flow through my life. Open doors no one can shut, and destroy every opposition. Fill me with courage and confidence in Your presence. Let me walk in complete victory. In Jesus’ name, I pray, Amen.
