THE PILGRIMS GUIDE SATURDAY JUNE 6, 2026 THE BATTLE IS THE LORD'S A WORD FROM THE WORD: "Abijah set the battle in order with an army of valiant warriors, four hundred thousand choice men. Jeroboam also drew up in battle formation against him with eight hundred thousand choice men, mighty men of valor." 2 Chronicles 13:3 NKJV. Reading through this narrative everyone would conclude that King Jeroboam would inflict a crushing defeat on King Abijah because of his large army; he has eight hundred thousand able soldiers as opposed and compared to King Abijah's four hundred thousand soldiers. But like we all know, the battle depends on the LORD (v12), and He does not shy away from making name for Himself. We can comfortably point out the following: 1). It's not by strength or the resources you have but on your unalloyed confidence and faith in God. 2). It's not by having everything life can offer but by having God almighty in all you do 3). If you have God, you already have everything you need in life to excel and become victorious. 4). King Abijah had able men and not only men but he had God involved in the battle. Having God involved was the secret of his victory. 5). Ultimate success and victory in life and ministry comes from God, make no mistake about it. Pause And Ponder Is God invited and involved in your daily activities? May we not nurse the inherent foolishness of fencing God out of our life and life's endeavours. PRAYER BULLETS: O God, may I without fail look upon and rely on You always for victory against every battle of life. You're my Ebenezer.
