No Loss

Scripture Reading: Ezekiel 37: 1-14

Focus

“The hand of the LORD was upon me, and carried me out in the spirit of the LORD, and set me down in the midst of the valley which was full of bones,” (Ezekiel 37: 1)

Our Focal Scripture speaks of the valley which was full of dry bones. These bones were the bones of men who were slain in battle. They went into a battle, but they did not come out of it. They went into a battle, but their opposition was stronger than them. They went into a battle, but they were not strong enough to win. They became victims because their strength was not enough to win the battle. They lost because they were overpowered.

Friend, in this season, weakness is not an option. Weakness will make you a victim. Weakness will position you in that place where every adversity will consume you. Weakness will usher you into the valley where you will be slain and reduced to rubbles. Weakness will ruin your destiny and compromise your journey to greatness. Weakness will make a mess of all that you have been positioned to accomplish. Weakness will extinguish you.

The mere fact that those men were slain in battle presupposes that they faced stronger men that simply confined them to defeat. The names of the people that defeated them were not mentioned, but the strength of their opposition spoke in the results that played out in the valley of dry bones. If you make the mistake of remaining weak, you will become a victim of the strong. If you make the mistake of being weak, you will be swept away.

It’s time to arise in strength. Strengthen your weak areas. Strengthen your prayer altar; strengthen your vision and capacity; strengthen your focus; strengthen your family; strengthen your business; let strength be multiplied to you in every area where you are weak; let strength return to your health; let strength return to your business; let strength return to your finances; let strength return to every sphere of your life that has become weak.

Remember, if you fail to become a boss to your situation, it will drag you down to the valley. Grow in strength and no battle will sweep you away.

Declaration

I grow in strength; no more weakness, in Jesus’ name!
