Going into battle

God told Joshua that he had given the land to the Israelites.

Joshua chapter 1: verse 2 says, Moses My servant is dead. Now therefore arise, go over this Jordan, thou and this entire people, unto the land which I give to them, even to the children of Israel.

Verse 3: Every place that the sole of your foot shall tread upon, that have I given unto you, as I said unto Moses.

Verse 6: Be strong and of a good courage, for unto this people shalt thou divide for an inheritance the land which I swore unto their fathers to give them.

God does not say they must fight for the land and they will win. He does not say if they drive the people out, they can have the land. No, God says, I have given you this land.

And God has given Zimbabwe to us. Even though there are those who are like the heathen tribes that dwelt in the Promised Land and their father is the devil, God has given it to us. Did the people just walk in and possess the land? No they had to fight for it and do battle. So we have to do battle, but not in the way that we have been led to believe – that we spend hours in our closet and bind the princes that hover over the country. Rather we need to go out and do the work of the Lord.

Do you want to see revival in Zimbabwe? Go and raise someone from the dead, you will have all the revival you can handle.

What I am saying is, we need to first believe and know that God wants to bless us. He loves us and He wants the best for us. That means He wants Zimbabwe to prosper. Joshua told the Israelites in verse 11 of chapter one that they are going in to possess the land.

Im challenging every Christian in Zimbabwe to go and possess the land. This is not a physical fight, its spiritual. But the good news is that Jesus has already defeated the devil and his demons. He defeated them when He rose from the dead! All we need to do is enforce their defeat.
