The Battle Trafficators

1 Corinthians 9: 26-27

Today , by the grace of God, we are looking at what I call, ‘The battle trafficator.’ and I will read from 1 Corinthians 9, let’s look at verse 26 and 27:

I therefore so run, not as uncertainly; so fight I, not as one that beateth the air:

But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway.

Look at verse 26 again very closely, ‘I therefore so run, not as uncertainly so fight’ Every man and woman is running a race; every man and woman is involved in a battle: not as the one that beateth the air, this statement means it is possible to fight as if you are beating the air.

The battle for destiny is the most terrible battle in the universe, because the Bible say if a man died without fulfilling his destiny, it would have been better if he was not born.

God is interested in the issue of destiny, because that is his plan for you; that is his reason why he created you; that is the reason why he brought you to this world: therefore, God is interested.

The devil too is interested in the issue of destiny, because he does not want man to fulfill his destiny.

Man too is interested in the issue of destiny; but man want fulfillment. Anybody that you find always like to do well; if you see a man or woman who say he/she doesn’t want to do well, it means there is a problem somewhere. The battle for destiny is therefore a hard battle; it is the hardest battle that anyone can fight; this is because a man or a woman cannot survive outside his/her destiny. This explains the reason and the cause for the nature of battle most of us are going through.

There are many going through their battle now, they are crying day and night; some don’t even understand what is going on in their lives. Some are so confused that the enemy is even trying to take them from “the smoke to the fire;” because of the hard battles they are going through. Understand this loud and clear beloveth, if you and the devil have never colluded, the simple truth is that, both of you are traveling towards the same direction. Immediately you are traveling opposite of the enemy, one day there will be a head on collision. If the battle against you is organized and, you are not spiritually organized, what happen is that the person will soon expire.

Remember we are talking about the battle trafficator. There are different categories of battle that people goes through: the battles are not the same; the battles are not equal; the battles are different in height and status.

Number one, you could face the *THE RAGE OF THE WICKED.* You don’t have to offend anybody but the wicked is just raging against you. That is why the Bible says, *why did the wicked so furious and raged together, and why did the people imagine a vain thing,* that is the rage of the wicked.

Two, you could face ‘THE PURSUING AVENGERS:’ something you have done that you may have forgotten; the avenging powers is now pursuing you. It may be some words you have spoken against some people and, you might have even forgotten about it; the avenging powers is now pursuing you.

You could face ‘THE CRYING BLOOD:’ If you have shed blood in any form or, your forefathers have shed blood in any form, the blood shed could cry against you, it could result in a battle.

Four, you could face  ‘THE WICKED HOUSEHOLD:’ many people has domestic wickedness working against them.

Five, you may face ‘THE AFFLICTIONS OF THE RIGHTEOUS:’ which the Bible says are many.

You could face *EVIL COVENANTS AND CURSES’ which look so hard to break.

Seven, you could face ‘ATTACKS ON YOUR MARRIAGE,,’which looks so hard to break. Whether you are married or not, the enemy could attack your marriage.

Eight, you could face ‘THE PROGRAMMED TROUBLE;’ that is, the problem that has been programmed, just waiting for someone to go and turn it on. *”I pray that your legs will not carry you into trouble in Jesus name.”* Amen!

Nine, you can face ‘THE UNEQUAL YOKES WITH UNBELIEVERS.,’The Bible says, do not be unequally yoked with unbeliever; if you yoke your business, yoke your life, yoke your marriage with unbeliever, of course there will be a battle.

Number ten, you could face ‘THE CONSPIRACY IN THE HEAVENLY; ‘just like Daniel faced the conspiracy in the heavenly.

Eleven, you could face ‘THE ENVIOUS ENEMIES;’ you haven’t done anything against them but, they are just attacking you you out of pure and simple envy.

Twelve, you could face ‘THE CONSEQUENCE OF BESETTING SINS;’ that is glued to you, and now the consequences are telling.

Thirteen, you could face ‘THE INHERITED BURDENS.’

Fourteen, you could be battling ‘THE JONA’S SYNDROME:’ that is, God is calling you and, you are running away, or you are not doing something God has destined for your life.

Fifteen, you may be ‘BATTLING AGAINST THE WASTERS:’that is those who are determined to was you.

Sixteen, you could be *BATTLING AGAINST THE EMPTIERS.* These are various battles that various men and women are going through.

Seventeen, you may be ‘’ATTLING AGAINST ANTI-PROSPERITY ARROWS’’ No matter what the person does prosperity seems to walk away.

Eighteen, your battle now may be ‘THE RAGE AGAINST STRONGHOLD.’ Once there is a stronghold in the family, the problem with it can be transferred from generation to generation.

Nineteen, you could be facing ‘THE AGENDA OF THE STRONGMAN.’ The strongman that is assigned to see that you don’t move forward.

Twenty, you may be facing ‘THE PROBLEM OF CLOSED DOORS AND CLOSED HEAVEN. ‘All these are battles that men faced.
