BATTLE FORETOLD
J
|
ust imagine
that Osama Bin Laden the great terrorist announced before time his disastrous
attack on America; also imagine that you were per-informed of the last rubbery
attack you experienced.
America
wouldn’t have sat back and face the disaster, they would have raised barriers
and setup troops against Osama’s attack, and I know that you also would have
either ran away or called security agents to protect you from the rubbers.
No wonder
an African proverb says that “A battle foretold cannot kill the cripple”.
Every
human takes to their hills at the foresight of battle. The rich usually fly out
of the country with their family members while the poor will always run to the
city of refuge or a refugee’s camp. This is how much we human dread battle and
natural disasters which only has the power to destroy only our flesh.

Like
the cripple, who wouldn’t wait for the battle to catch up with him but escapes
before it’s too late, we are encouraged to run for our dear life. Sin is the
web the devil uses to trap us down for hell (Rom. 6:23). Jesus is the refugee
camp and we are encouraged to run into Him now.
It
is quite unfortunate that this battle has no stipulated day and time. So many
are already swallowed up by this battle. Therefore, the time to run to Jesus is
now, because tomorrow may be too late. “…Now is the day of salvation” 2
Corinthians 6:2. Do not harden your
heart in rebellion to God – Hebrews 3:15.
Eternity
has been foretold, make today is the acceptable time, run to Jesus Christ now. And
never forget that the battle foretold never kills a cripple.
God
bless you.
