Heaven helps

Background: These people were Jews who are covenant people of God.In this dispensation of grace, anyone can have a personal covenant relationship with God only through our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.Membership: Each of them belonged to one of the two and a half tribes of Israel. No Christian should fight his battles alone. One needs to be a member of a church, fellowship, or ministry at a local level to be supported by others, and to support others too. Similarly, any Christian group can 'network' with one or more other groups to be on the cutting edge in the Lord's battles.Maturity: None of them was born a man. Spiritual growth is vital to be the Christian to become strong in the Lord for battle. Trials, other Christians, and basic disciplines like prayer, fasting, and bible study are vital tools in this regard.Skill: The Christian should know what his weapons really are and how to use them, grounded in the Word and yielded to the Holy Spirit.Opposition: Discernment is needed to know the real adversary and courage is important in facing the foeStrategy: By the prayer of faith, any Christian will humbly turn the mighty hand of God to enforce the victory of Christ on Calvary on his behalf.Territory: 'Possessing the land' goes beyond enjoying being blessed in the Lord. It also involves being a blessing for the Lord in saving lost souls from the wicked one in a dying world around us-God's kingdom is advanced and the Lord takes all the credit! 2 Corinthians 2(KJV)verse 14 "Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the savour of his knowledge by us in every place."
