Bible Text: 2Samuel 10:9-14Series: 21 DAYS FAST AND PRAY 2019 | INTRODUCTION:

Joab displayed in his arrangement the place and power of unity and cooperation as he divided his army into two; the spirit of interdependency should play in our families and in the Church.

There must be a balance in life between our actions and our faith in God. Joab said, “Be of good courage”. In other words, do what you can, plan the battle strategy, use your mind to figure out the best techniques and use your resources. But he also said, “The Lord do that which seemeth Him good”. He knew that the outcome was in God’s hand.

As we stand in the gap for our needy brethren, bearing one another’s burden as the Lord commanded us, we must at this time live by faith and trust in God for the outcome (Gal.6:2, Prov.19:21).
