DOING GREAT THINGS FOR GOD (PART 6)

       AUG. 12^TH.   

TEXT: 1 Chronicles 11:12-14King James Version (KJV)

12 And after him was Eleazar the son of Dodo, the Ahohite, who was one of the three mighties.

13 He was with David at Pasdammim, and there the Philistines were gathered together to battle, where was a parcel of ground full of barley; and the people fled from before the Philistines.

14 And they set themselves in the midst of that parcel, and delivered it, and slew the Philistines; and the Lord saved them by a great deliverance.

Every true follower of Christ who is determined to do great things for God is so conscious about pleasing the Lord than in accomplishing selfish interest. Those who are like this need no man to motivate them to play their role. They know what their assignment is and the scope they have been assigned to cover. They know they have been assigned a spiritual territory and they must not fail. Such men are so committed to keeping their territory and stand strong even if they have to stand alone.  The mighty men of David were men who could stand alone and they were also able to stand with him and together they defended the land at all times.

 Do you know where you have been assigned to defend? You need to tell yourself the truth and find out if you know where your spiritual territory is and what ground you have been assigned to defend. Starting from your physical location to your family and other areas of your life, you have a territory to command authority over. Stand your ground and see to it that the kingdom looses no ground for any reason.

The enemy is launching attacks every now and then, but have you been able to stand your ground to defend the territory assigned to you? It takes the hand of God upon a man to grant him extraordinary victory. It is not skill nor years of experience but the hand of God upon a life that counts.  Put your trust in the Lord and you will receive the grace to attempt great things for God today.
