A victory song comes only after a battle!!!
Proverbs 21:31
The horse prepares for battle. But safety ( victory) is of the Lord

We all love to sing the victory song but we hate the challenge that comes with it. A victory song is exciting and infectious everybody wants to join in it.

It is inappropriate to sing the victory song even before the battle. Remember the 2010 “World Cup” that was hosted by South Africa?

Africans started singing the victory song even before the games started
The signature tune for the event had the theme
” This time for Africa ”

But almost all the African countries were eliminated before the second round. A few countries like Ghana managed to scale through to the second round. But we were also eliminated

The verse above says, the horse prepares for battle but victory comes from the Lord. Africans may have prepared as best as they could especially the host country SA that has more resources than other African countries.

This is just my opinion, but instead of using the victory song as the signature tune we should have done what John 15:7 says
….. for without me you can do nothing

Let the world know our victory as Africans will be the doing of the Lord. Sing a song like “Victory belongs to Jesus” by Todd Dulany.

2 Corinthians 2:14
And thanks be to God who always causes us to triumph…

This verse from the new testament emphasizes that the Lord will always cause us to triumph, if we put all our trust in Him

God be with you

How can I apply the word to my life?
1. Trust in God and do what is right

Song for meditation

Let this song be your confession and prayer

Who can stand against the King?
No one can
No one will
Who can stand against the king
No one can
No one will

Oooooh, oooooh
Victory belongs to Jesus
Victory belongs to Him
Oooooh, oooooh
Victory belongs to Jesus
Victory belongs to Him

You will deliver
You are our provider
I find my victory in you
Forever victorious
Forever we win
I find my victory in you

Victory belongs to Jesus…
Amen
