Matt 2:19, 1 Sam 17:50, Deuteronomy 1:30, Exodus 14:14, 2 Thess 3:1-4, Matt 2:20, 1 Corinthians 6:18; 1 Corinthians 10:14; 1 Timothy 6:11; 2 Timothy 2:22, 1 Thess 5:22

Men and brethren,  what you need to succeed is already there, just lean on God. For your faith’s sake, God can disappoint the devil. How can you us the Non-Engagement Strategy to defeat your Goliath? If you study 1 Sam 17:50 with divine revelation; you will discover the last line that says ‘but there was no sword in the hand of David’ the bible said David slew Goliath but there was no sword in his hands. Therefore in the battles of life, you can win without fighting. Joseph was informed about the death of his tormentor; a war he did not fight “But when Herod was dead, behold, an angel of the Lord appeareth in a dream to Joseph in Egypt” Matt 2:19. May God fight your battles and grant you victory.

Right where you are, time has come when you will learn that the battle is the Lords not by mouth but by action; the reason many Christians have bruises and wounds is that they fight too much. Every child of God must learn to win before fighting; so we don’t live in anxiety but live in strength. Stop digging your own grave. When there’s so much to live for and whatever you give attention to becomes important. Sometimes, to retreat in the face of a strong enemy is not a sign of weakness but of strength. By resisting the temptation to respond to an aggressor, you buy yourself valuable time — time to recover, to think, to gain perspective. Sometimes you can accomplish most by doing nothing. Deuteronomy 1:30, Exodus 14:14. May Jehovah become real to you to fight your battles.

The scripture says “Finally, brethren, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may have free course, and be glorified, even as it is with you: And that we may be delivered from unreasonable and wicked men: for all men have not faith. But the Lord is faithful, who shall stablish you, and keep you from evil. And we have confidence in the Lord touching you, that ye both do and will do the things which we command you.” 2 Thess 3:1-4. Psalm 107:20

Our devotion and trust must be totally dependent on God because no man can improve on Jesus; what Jesus is not ready to do, no man can make it happen. Our desire is that when you go to church it should be to thank God for what He has done than to be a daily miracle seeker because to be kept from evil is better than to be healed from sickness. Therefore, the bible says “Now the Lord of peace himself give you peace always by all means.” 2 Thess 3:16. Whatever it will cost God by Himself, always and by all means you will have peace. If jumping was to give you joy and peace then frog must win the first prize but I heard Now that the Lord of peace himself shall give you peace always by all means. But anxiety and anxiousness is a sign that God is not with you. When you are over anxious and you spend too much time in anxiousness, you are simply saying I am in church but I am not in Christ; you easily lose control without heaven creating and granting you alternatives.

“Then Herod, when he had privily called the wise men, enquired of them diligently what time the star appeared. And he sent them to Bethlehem, and said, Go and search diligently for the young child; and when ye have found him, bring me word again, that I may come and worship him also. When they had heard the king, they departed; and, lo, the star, which they saw in the east, went before them, till it came and stood over where the young child was. When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy. And when they were come into the house, they saw the young child with Mary his mother, and fell down, and worshipped him: and when they had opened their treasures, they presented unto him gifts; gold, and frankincense and myrrh. And being warned of God in a dream that they should not return to Herod, they departed into their own country another way. And when they were departed, behold, the angel of the Lord appeareth to Joseph in a dream, saying, Arise, and take the young child and his mother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I bring thee word: for Herod will seek the young child to destroy him. When he arose, he took the young child and his mother by night, and departed into Egypt” Matt 2: 7-14

Men and brethren, when the wise men went to Herod’s house the star that was leading them vanished. When you leave where you were sent to Herod’s house your star will vanish. We are also told that the star reappeared when they came out of Herod’s house. Herod will not need their services if he also can see the star. Therefore, whatever that is bent on destroying you does not know your place of coronation because your enemy cannot detect the day and season of your breakthrough.

Many of you are busy going to Herod’s house when you are looking for Jesus; don’t join the generation of people who add water to their sinking boat of life by seeking for direction from your enemy, from those who never appreciate or celebrate you. You can be born in a manger but don’t spend eternity there; it doesn’t matter where you start but don’t end up there. “And when they were come into the house ..” Matt 2:11 Jesus was born there but never live there.

Herod planned to destroy Baby Jesus when he has committed no offence. It shows that nobody is too holy for the devils attack. That you pay tithe and offering is not a guarantee of a life without the enemy’s attack. But God rebukes the devourer for your sake and giving is a protection from lack; it is not a deliverance from attack; and when you eat your seed you will have no harvest.

The Angel appeared to Brother Joseph and said flee. Brethren, when God say flee don’t speak in tongues or go into 30 days praying and fasting, because you could stand in the place where God will strike both your enemy and you. A brother said to me the Lord has called him to minister and deliver the women who are harlots, the first time he visited their house he ran out with Holy Ghost speed. In several places the Bible tells us the best way to resist temptation is to flee from it. 1 Corinthians 6:18; 1 Corinthians 10:14; 1 Timothy 6:11; 2 Timothy 2:22, 1 Thess 5:22

God sent them to Egypt, to the land where he showed Pharaoh the arithmetic of His Power. Herod is like the new Pharaoh who holds the people captive and attempts to stand in God’s way. Jesus is the new Moses, who sets the people of God free. Herod the Great was a fearful, devious and evil ruler. The Jews resented him as an Arab sitting on David’s throne. His maniacal cunning was accompanied by great aspirations and he was known as a great builder. But he was ruthless and seemingly without a conscience. He brutally murdered his own children and killed many enemies. So when rumors of another pretender to the throne appeared, Herod did not hesitate to take out his competition – it didn’t matter that he might be going against God. Herod’s power was fear and God’s people were as much captive to their fears as they were to the actual power of Herod, really a puppet whom Rome had placed as governor of the conquered territory of Palestine. Like Pharaoh of old, Herod’s deviousness and cunning seemed to be an impossible roadblock to God’s plan and design. But like Pharaoh of old, God would not be so easily dismissed nor would His saving will and purpose be compromised – no matter who opposed Him. No land is too dangerous for God not to keep you. “But when Herod was dead, behold, an angel of the Lord appeareth in a dream to Joseph in Egypt, Saying, Arise, and take the young child and his mother, and go into the land of Israel: for they are dead which sought the young child’s life.” Matt 2:19-20.

Heaven commanded Joseph to go to Egypt so that their Herod can die while they were away. Don’t be at home to be charged for murder. The news of your Herod is about to be announced by Angelic communication to the glory of God and the shame of the devil.
