STRATEGIZE

Posted on

“During the night Abram divided his men to attack them and he routed them, pursuing them as far as Hobah, north of Damascus.”        Genesis 14:15 NIV

 

Abram was wise in seeking to rescue Lot. He wisely chose only loyal and trained persons to help him. He took only those who were born in his own household and were trained to fight. They numbered only 318 men. Abram wisely planned his strategy. He divided his men into several groups and instructed them to attack from several vantage points. This would make the enemy think a large force was swarming down upon them. He launched a surprise attack at night. The enemy was caught completely off guard. They were unable to tell who was attacking them, and for safety’s sake they had to flee assuming that a large army was attacking them. Abram participated himself. He did not stay behind while others sought to rescue Lot. Abram himself led the rescue attempt. He pursued the enemy, went after total victory. He did not stop the pursuit until the enemy was completely defeated and scattered, and all the enslaved were freed. All our attempts to rescue people from sin and Satan must be planned, wisely planned! We must choose fellow believers to help us. We must plan our strategy through prayer, under the leadership of the Holy Spirit. It is not enough for others to go; we must go ourselves, each one of us. We must pursue through the power of prayer and the Holy Spirit’s leading to see that those who are enslaved are set free. Remembering that the battle belongs to the Lord.

 

PRAYER THOUGHT

Holy Spirit, in Your wisdom show us how to set the captives free.

 

PRAYER FOR TODAY

Lord, as we see those who are enslaved, show us how, through the power of prayer and Your Holy Spirit’s leading, to see them set free. Remembering that the battle belongs to You. AMEN
