The Father wants the best and fittest Sons

2 Kings 10:3 - look ye out the best and fittest of your master's sons, and set him on his father's throne, and fight for your master's house.


After yesterday's message this is the best message the Lord could give.

Have you seen an army commando go under training? He goes through and overcomes hurdles and obstructions and many a time is put to a physical breaking point so as to increase his physical tolerance.

We too are soldiers of the Kingdom of God and to make us fit and strong the Lord does at time put us through the breaking point. The Lord wants to reinforce our amour so that when the real attacks come we will be strong to face it.

The Lord is capable to do all things but He desires to do it through us. He could have finished Satan and his team with just a word but He desires man to know Him and through the knowledge of Him be able to overcome Satan and his team.

Lord Jesus, You came as man and showed us to way and what is expected of us mankind. You gave us abundant grace and your Spirit enables us to be like You. You work in each one of us and slowly by slowly built each one of use to be more and more like You. We know the victory is already written for You said IT IS FINISHED. Lord we rejoice in our victory and waiting patiently for our glory in You...

This prayer we make in Jesus' Name, Amen.

Luke 22:42-44
42 saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done.
43 And there appeared unto him an angel from heaven, strengthening him.
44 And being in an agony he prayed more earnestly; and his sweat became as it were great drops of blood falling down upon the ground.

Hebrew 1:10-14
10 And, Thou, Lord, in the beginning didst lay the foundation of the earth, And the heavens are the works of thy hands: 11 They shall perish; but thou continuest: And they all shall wax old as doth a garment;
12 And as a mantle shalt thou roll them up, As a garment, and they shall be changed: But thou art the same, And thy years shall not fail.
13 But of which of the angels hath he said at any time, Sit thou on my right hand, Till I make thine enemies the footstool of thy feet?
14 Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to do service for the sake of them that shall inherit salvation?

Hebrew 12:6-13
6 For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, And scourgeth every son whom he receiveth.
7 It is for chastening that ye endure; God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is there whom his father chasteneth not?
8 But if ye are without chastening, whereof all have been made partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons.
9 Furthermore, we had the fathers of our flesh to chasten us, and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live?
10 For they indeed for a few days chastened us as seemed good to them; but he for our profit, that we may be partakers of his holiness.
11 All chastening seemeth for the present to be not joyous but grievous; yet afterward it yieldeth peaceable fruit unto them that have been exercised thereby, even the fruit of righteousness.
12 Wherefore lift up the hands that hang down, and the palsied knees;
13 and make straight paths for your feet, that that which is lame be not turned out of the way, but rather be healed.

2 Peter 1:2-8
2 Grace and peace be multiplied to you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord,
3 According as his divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that has called us to glory and virtue:
4 Whereby are given to us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these you might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.
5 And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge;
6 And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness;
7 And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity.
8 For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that you shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.

The Word of God was given free to us, therefore we should also share it freely with others. (All rights are with God)
