TO MAXIMISE YOUR ALLIES MAKE JESUS YOUR BEST FRIEND
AN ALLY IS A PERSON, A FRIEND OR A SUPPORTER WHO ASSOCIATES OR CO-OPERATES WITH ANOTHER
Memory Verse: "For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways" (Ps 91:11)
Bible Passage: Psalm 91
1 He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
2 I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.
3 Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence.
4 He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.
5 Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day;
6 Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction thatwasteth at noonday.
7 A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee.
8 Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked.
9 Because thou hast made the LORD, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation;
10 There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.
11 For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.
12 They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.
13 Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet.
14 Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name.
15 He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him.
16 With long life will I satisfy him, and show him my salvation.
One thing you must strive for this year is to have God as your ally. That is wisdom. If you are weak but you have a strong ally, you become automatically strong as the strength of your ally covers your weaknesses. As a result, the strength of an individual is not limited to his personal strength, but includes that of his ally. It takes wisdom not to fight alone. The wise not only surrounds himself with allies but effectively utilizes them for his benefit. There are people who have people but operate as lone rangers. There are leaders who are overstretching themselves concerning their assignments when they like Moses have 70 elders that could help reduce the burden. It takes wisdom to delegate. It takes wisdom to identify the strengths of your subordinates and derive maximum support from them for the collective good of the organization. Some husbands fight alone. They hardly ever pray with their spouses. As a result, their success level remains limited. If you continue to defeat 1000 enemies by praying alone when you can take on 10,000 by enlisting the support of your ally - your spouse, it is obvious that you are seriously limiting yourself. If you are wise, you will deliberately avoid frictions, quarrels and disagreements with your spouse so as to optimize benefits from your ally.
Talking of allies, there is one incomparable ally. He has never lost any battle. He is called the Most High. Psalm 91:1 says if you have Him as your ally, your security is guaranteed. He will back you up with all His Heavenly host - billions of angels, the elders, and the cloud of witnesses. He could instruct His angels to carry you in their hands so that you do not hit your feet against satanic stumbling blocks (Psalm 91:11- 12). He has promised to meet the needs of His children out of His riches in glory. While studying Psalm 23, when I got to the fifth verse which says, "...Thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over", I asked God: "Why did you not stop at that point?" He replied, "Because there is much more where the blessing is coming from". If you have God as your ally, you can never lack anything good. Your joy will be full (Ps 16:11). Do you have God as your ally today? Are you getting the best from your allies?
