Everybody has a customized war to engage in. Not wars. But War!(singular). There is a war that was designed for you alone to fight. And you cannot shy away from it. Until you understand that. You will not be able to fulfill your call or even walk in purpose on earth. We cannot help you to fight this war. It is yours to fight. Some of us were called to fight against mediocrity. Some of us were called to fight against injustice. Some of us were called to fight against racism.Some of us were called to fight against manipulations. Martin Luther identified his own war. Mother Theressa identified her own war. Barack Obama identified his own war. Have you found yours? Can you truly identify your own war?
All wars are works of the evil one. The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the works of the devil. These works of the devil cannot be destroyed without you understanding your calling. The works of the devil must be destroyed by every believer. You got to know your own war, and carefully fight on! You cannot choose your war. Rather, the war chooses you. It has a way of coming to you, of its own accord . It has a way of appearing and re-appearing in your life-journey. It keeps re-occurring to you in various shapes and forms. You got to be able to identify it and deal with it!
It has to be fought by you alone. You were born for this!
The only way to fight this war is by wise counsel. That is what the book of proverbs told us:
For by wise counsel thou shalt make thy war: and in multitude of counsellors [there is] safety (Proverbs 24:6).
So wise counsel is very important…and wise counsel is found in the word of God. The additional weapon of warfare for this customized war is called multitude of counsellors. This could be multitude of great books written by wise people. Not necessarily going from one person to another and getting confused by different opposing view-points. Wrong advice can be brutal! That can influence your destiny forever. A multitude is a multitude. We need to understand that. When God says multitude of counsel. He meant what he said. God wants us to stay in the midst of wise words and right principles.
This is how to win this customized war! You will wage your own war through the word of God!
If the Bible could specifically call us unto wise counsel; it means that there are indeed some foolish counsels out there. There wrong advisers all around us. And how do we get to know the difference? How can we distinguish the foolish counsel from the wise counsels? It is by understanding the word of God personally. This is how to tell which is wise and which is a foolish counsel.
If in the multitude of counsellors there is safety. It means that in the absence of wise counsellors or in the presence of few counsellors, then, there is danger! Any counsel that contradicts the scripture is not from God. If it is not a wise counsel. It is from the evil one. And it does not matter who gave such counsel. The devil can go into anybody to bring out some evil counsel. We dont buy into personalities to wage customized war. We buy into principles of the kingdom. So in order to win your personal war. Get this word into your spirit man! Dig into the scripture! And win your war!
