Zechariah 4:6 - “So he answered and said to me: “This is the word of the Lord to Zerubbabel: ‘Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit,’ says the Lord of hosts.”
Have you been struggling with something and it feels like the more you want to take control, the more you are losing it? Well, there's a solution. There is a kind of excellence and success that comes only from the Spirit of God and not from human power. Stop looking at the magnitude of the problem but instead, rest on the Lord and by His Spirit let Him guide you into the way of victory. This is your advantage.
Jesus said; “Nevertheless I tell you the truth. It is to your advantage that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you; but if I depart, I will send Him to you.” John 16:7. So, the Holy Spirit is your advantage as a child of God. Let Him guide you into the success God has planned for your life.
Struggling and toiling in your strength is useless. How much stress and toil would it have taken Joshua and the children of Israel whilst trying to take over Jericho if they didn’t get an advantage from the Lord? Jericho was closed so they could not even go in to fight a battle to take over the land. However, God gave them a strategy to march around the city (Joshua 6:1-21). They followed the instructions and the walls of Jericho collapsed. This is an example of God leading you with His own strategy. You have the Holy Spirit for direction and strategy. He is your present hour advantage. Hallelujah!
Prayer: Dear Father, I thank You for blessing me with the Holy Spirit. He is my advantage for life and today and always I receive counsel and direction on how to go by Your Spirit regarding every matter so I can succeed as you ordained me to in Jesus Name. Amen.
