Armageddon Victory


Armageddon Victory 
The battle of Armageddon is a call to prepare for Christ’s second coming and to be steadfast in hope (Rev 16:15; Mat 24, 25). However many are waiting for a future Armageddon victory when Armageddon also has a present day meaning. The book of Revelation consummates what Christ already provided. Today, believers can enjoy in very great measure what Christ will bring on His second return (Mat 10:7; Col 1:13).

Without going into prophetic details about the battle of Armageddon, may I suggest that Armageddon is not just a place in the Middle East, or an end time event, but has immediate relevance to us.  Armageddon is symbolic of the conquest of the enemies of Christ. To the enemy it is a self-destroying moment of madness when his best plot against God only manages to win him his own worst defeat. To the believer, Armageddon represents a decisive moment were through Christ; long-standing problems give way to long-lasting solutions. We need 'Armageddon' victories against long-standing ministry problems, long- standing sickness, long-standing business problems, long-standing marital conflicts, and long-standing financial problems.

Today can be the day that brings complete victory to your day-to-day experiences. Are you tired of waiting? Are you tired of piecemeal solutions? Are you tired of swinging back and forth? Are you tired of going in circles? Are you tired of going up and down like a yo-yo? The moment for a decisive move of God in your situation can come anywhere anytime by repentance and faith in Christ (Mat 6:33). You alone determine who wins in your heart daily.   Trust in God, that it is done through the precious blood of Jesus Christ, and the battle is won.
