Matthew 11:12 KJV — And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force.
1 Samuel 2:9-10 KJV — He will keep the feet of his saints, And the wicked shall be silent in darkness; For by strength shall no man prevail. [10] The adversaries of the LORD shall be broken to pieces; Out of heaven shall he thunder upon them: The LORD shall judge the ends of the earth; And he shall give strength unto his king, And exalt the horn of his anointed.
Psalm 33:16-20 KJV — There is no king saved by the multitude of an host: A mighty man is not delivered by much strength. [17] An horse is a vain thing for safety: Neither shall he deliver any by his great strength. [18] Behold, the eye of the LORD is upon them that fear him, Upon them that hope in his mercy; [19] To deliver their soul from death, And to keep them alive in famine. [20] Our soul waiteth for the LORD: He is our help and our shield.
I told you that life is a struggle; a struggle for opportunities, a struggle for scarce resources, a struggle for place (strategic position); BUT remember by strength shall no man prevail.
It will take some things to succeed. You must;
Build your faith through the hearing of faith, like Hannah
You must believe the right things. Listen! the biggest problem in the world today is deception. Three main agents give rise to this: apart from the massive operation of false prophets and teachers, men do not endure sound doctrine and truth anymore, and the prophets are unwilling to endure hardness nor do the work of an evangelist.
Pray as though it all depends on prayer, like Hannah
There are 4-dimensions of prayer, these are: Speaking and petitioning God, speaking to mountains and sycamore, rebuking demons, speaking to your body and systems
Put the Kingdom interest above your own
See Matthew 6:33. God is up to four (4) key things: Global evangelism, the maturity of the saints, influencing territories and nations, wealth transfer through strategic trading.
Connect with men with higher graces
Prophetic ministration (an Eli). You need a man or men on the mountain. Joshua was a great fighter but he still needed the man on the mountain.
Work smart
Work with the threefold Smart sets (technical skills, business skills, and interpersonal skills)
Stay Blessed
