YOUR SUBMISSION IS ULTIMATE
Your submission to God turns out to be the bottom line of your triumph over the advances of the enemy against your well being. Divine patterns for victory cannot be contested and one of such patterns bothers on your submission of God. When your submission to God is in place, the devil will lose his place in your life. The devil has every right to contest your authority over him, when your submission to God is unquestionable. God is the Head of all principalities and powers, everything submits to Him. In every “check point” in the race of life that you encounter, one thing that waits to be ascertained is your submission to God. If your submission to God is not in place, you will experience a drag in life and your walk will be marked by all manner of frustration.
One way you will have the devil submit to you, is when he is convinced that your submission to God is full and complete. The Bible talks of “having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled” (2 Corinthians 10:6). With the conquest of the Israelites over Jericho, they were in very high spirits and saw their encounter with a very small nation – Ai as a walk over. They had to downsize their army as they went against Ai. Little did Joshua know that their submission to God out of place. They were devastated when the army of Israel fell before such a tiny nation. Victory is not in number, victory is of the Lord and if you will have God go for you, He demands full submission from you.
If you truly seek to put the devil to flight; the one thing to check out for, is not the armaments of the devil fashioned against you. What you are to check out for is your submission to God. You need God to put you over: “Through God we shall do valiantly: for He it is that shall tread down our enemies” Psalm 108:13. If it has to be God, your submission to Him is very primary. If your submission to God is in place, the preparation of the enemy fashioned against you shall come to naught.
