September 9/11 redefined the meaning of war.
September 9/11 redefined the meaning of war.
“Some people think of God as
A safety net- a way out of
Trouble when all else fails-
But they wouldn’t get
Themselves into such serious
Trouble if they would just hold
On to Him in the first place.”
This piece has been greatly inspired from the audience that
has been reading this blog. Majority of them from countries currently
experiencing war especially from the Ukraine.
As this blog upholds, there is nothing or situation that God’s word
cannot fix.
Our task is to believe, for in our belief lies the unseen
power for the realization of our belief.
As a child we lived in splendor. Magnificent edifice with spacious green grass for carpet and evergreen decorative bush hedges. The war was in the air waves [radio] and the pages of newspaper until the Nigerian soldiers arrived through a sea port. The retreating Biafran soldiers started killing those they perceived as the Nigerian supporters. Our father who was a big short had to escape for his dear life. His bossom friend and an in-law was not that lucky. He was arrested and taken to a road side and short at point blank. Dead. He died.
His wives and many children have had to brace-up to live
without a father and husband.
After our father’s escape, with our mother leading
the way we tip-toed, closed our mouths and flew out of
town on our tiny growing legs and landed in a mangrove forest. We landed in dark black smelling waters
and in sinking black mud. As we walk in
the far unknown and uncharted forest, we
were sinking every inch on the way until
we got stuck in the wet black mud and could go no further.
We became co-inhabitants with the legitimate
inhabitants-gobies, mud fish and crocodiles.
Kenyatta of Kenya
From Kenya to Nigeria, Sudan to Libya and Egypt. From Afghanistan to Iraq and Syria to Ukraine. War everywhere. Call it internal crises, terror, insurgence etc., it does not matter.

“War is armed hostilities between especially nations;
conflict”, the” Illustrated Oxford Dictionary defines”, it.
“And if the war bugle gives an uncertain (indistinct) call,
who will prepare for battle?”[1 Corinthians 14;8].
But is the war burgles call not loud, clear and certain?
What are the distinct war bugles calls?
What are the features?
Weapons, soldiers, strategies, battles, displaced
people, refugees, fear, hunger, homelessness, massacres, killings, death, occupation, etc.
Standard combat practices abound. Battle in open and closed landscapes.
Assaults on hitherto peaceful cities,
towns and villages. Communication and intelligence have become priceless.
Deception. Media warfare etc.
These are elements of unsettled times.
What Is A
Holy War In The Christian Context?
Pope Francis...Can We Stop The Wars For Their Sake?
The experience of the Israelites in Bible history shows that when they were loyal in their covenant relationship with God, their enemies became God’s enemies. War in their view was an endeavor in “which the cosmic forces [Judges 5:20],the chariots of heaven[2 Kings 6:17], and the Lord Himself fought in their her behalf[2 Chronicles 20:17].
The call to “prepare war” [Jeremiah 6;4; Joel 3:9]
literally meant “sanctify” war, declare holy war[Micah 3:9]. The military camp
was kept ceremonially pure [Deuteronomy 23:9-14]. The soldiers consecrated
themselves to the Lord [Isaiah 13:3] in this service, abstained from sexual
intercourse, and were looked upon as holy “vessels” during the campaign[1
Samuel 21:4-5].
Holy war was conducted with the full encouragement of the priest [Deuteronomy 20:2]. This way guidance was obtained. [ 1 Samuel 28:6;30:7; 2 Samuel 5:19,23].
While the ceremonies may not be necessary in the context of
the New Testament, the call to holiness and righteousness is still valid.
Without these relational needs no one can see or hear from God.
“And I saw three evil spirits disguised as frogs leap from the mouth of
the Dragon,
the Creature, and his False Prophet.
These miracle-working demons conferred with all the rulers of the world
to gather them for battle against the Lord on that great coming Judgment Day of
God Almighty”.[Revelation 16:13,14LB]
It is not important whether this passage refers to times in
the future. What is important is that evil is threatening humanity- an
indication that we arrived in the end times.
“These seven last plagues in the Book of Revelation indicate
that “great disasters of human history are warnings of the final total
calamities which will overtake those who refuse to listen”.
Remember the plagues in Egypt?
The Israelites were exempted because they made up their
minds to serve God. They listened.
In these major crises across the world, the denominator is that these aggressors want to
establish their own state. How historic is this?
History of wars shows that city-States arose and expanded in
most instances through the use of force.
1.
God gives victory.
He gave them victory through the leadership
of Moses.[Exodus 17:8f Numbers 21:1].
2.
God delivers people from their enemies. [Joshua
3:10;10:8,25;11:6].
3.
God fights for His people.
“Jehovah, the God of Israel fought for
them”. [Joshua 10:42].
4.
God gives victory to people who trust and obey Him.
[ 1 Samuel 7:5-14.
5.
God gives victory as favor and blessing upon His
covenant people.
David
and Goliath. [1 Samuel 17 and his conquests and expansion career. [2 Kings
6: 8-7:20].
Basis
For Conquests In War.
1.
Faithfulness to God brings conquest. [Judges
7:1-3; 1 Samuel 17:41-50; 2 Chronicles 20:20].
2.
Unfaithfulness to God brings defeat. [2 Kings
17:5-20; 2 Kings 21:10-15].
3.
God controls all armies. [Isaiah 13:3-5;
Jeremiah 25:8-9; Ezekiel 21:18-22].
The next post shall focus on God’s Tools for Conquests in war and
What Christians can do to conquer in war situations.
