Success Is Not In Numbers.

“And Jonathan said to the young man that bare his armour, Come, and let us go over unto the garrison of these uncircumcised: it may be that the LORD will work for us: for there is no restraint to the LORD to save by many or by few.”
1 Samuel 14:6


From our opening scripture, we see Jonathan speaking to his armour bearer charging him to come with him to the garrison of the Philistine to battle with them. Why was he confident to take such a daring decision to go and battle with thousands of trained men of the Philistine army? It was because he was conscious of their union with the LORD. This is evident in his words to his armour bearer in the latter part of our opening scripture; he said, “There is no restraint to the LORD to save by many or by few.”

Are you aware that God is with you? The Bible says in Psalm 46:1, “God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.”  If God, who is with you, is a very present help, it means you would never lack help. Are you aware that the word helper means, 'one that is called alongside to help.' The Holy Spirit is with you to advance your progress.

Jesus talking about the Holy Spirit in John 14:16(GNB) says, “I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Helper, who will stay with you forever.” Today, that prayer of Jesus has been answered because we now have the Holy Spirit with us as our helper. In other words, the Holy Spirit is with us to help us fulfill our calling. So, walk with the Holy Spirit and you will surely fulfill your calling.

Prayer.
Dear Father, I thank You for giving me the opportunity to partner with You in the fulfillment of Your plans and purpose on the earth. I recognize my union with You, and the divine presence of the Holy Spirit who helps me each day in the fulfillment of Your calling for my life. Father, I ask that, by the help of Your Spirit, I will finish my assignment on earth without reproach, in Jesus' Name. Amen.

For further study, read:
Joshua 23:10, Judges 15:14-16, 2 Chronicles 14:11.

Doing the Word.
Put no limits to what you can achieve in your partnership with God.
