Your Battle Is Over
Contributed by Bishop Prof. Julius Soyinka on Feb 28, 2026 (message contributor)
Summary: When you trust God to take over the battles of your life, the battle will end in divine victory.
YOUR BATTLE IS OVER
Study Text: Exodus 14:14, Isaiah 43:2
Introduction:
- Battles are not proof of defeat; they are proof that something valuable is at stake.
- However, every battle has a terminal point: the moment when God rises.
- Tonight is not a discussion night. It is a divine intervention night. By the mandate of heaven, I announce to someone who believes the Word of the Lord: Your battle is over!
- We shall be looking at the topic under three subheadings:
1. The Problem of the Battle
- “For we wrestle not against flesh and blood…” — Ephesians 6:12
1. Understanding Spiritual Battles
- A battle is not just trouble; it is organized resistance against your destiny. Battles often:
- Repeat themselves
- Outlive logic and effort
- Ignore qualifications and hard work
- That is why some educated people still battle stagnation, some prayerful people still battle delay, and some gifted people still battle rejection.
2. Why Battles Linger
Battles persist because:
- The enemy understands spiritual laws
- Satan resists transitions and breakthroughs
- Darkness fights light when light is about to shine
- “When Pharaoh heard… the heart of Pharaoh was hardened.” — Exodus 14:5
- Battles intensify when your freedom is close.
3. The Danger of Unended Battles
- If a battle is not ended:
- It drains strength
- It steals joy
- It shortens focus
- It postpones destiny
- But hear this clearly: God did not create you to manage battles; He created you to win them.
2. The Power of God
- “The battle is not yours, but God’s.” — 2 Chronicles 20:15
1. God Is a Man of War
“The Lord is a man of war; the Lord is His name.” — Exodus 15:3
- There are battles:
Counseling cannot solve
Medicine cannot cure
Strategy cannot fix
They require raw Holy Ghost power.
2. How God Ends Battles
When God steps in:
- The enemy loses balance
- The oppressor loses memory
- The battle loses permission to continue
At the Red Sea:
- Israel did not fight
- Moses did not negotiate
- God terminated the battle permanently
“The Egyptians whom you see today, you shall see again no more forever.”
- Tonight, forever enters your story.
3. Instruments of Divine Power
God ends battles through:
- The Blood of Jesus (Revelation 12:11)
- The Name of Jesus (Philippians 2:10)
- The Fire of the Holy Ghost (Matthew 3:11)
- What resisted you yesterday will bow tonight.
3. The Position of the Believer
- “Stand still, and see the salvation of the Lord.” — Exodus 14:13
1. Your Right in Christ
- In Christ, you are not a victim—you are victorious.
“We are more than conquerors…” — Romans 8:37
Your position is:
- Above principalities
- Seated with Christ
- Authorized to command results
2. Your Response to the Battle
- You don’t respond to battles with fear; you respond with faith.
- Faith speaks. Faith stands. Faith enforces victory
“Resist the devil, and he will flee.” — James 4:7
3. Your Posture Tonight
Tonight your posture is:
- Aggressive prayer
- Violent faith
- Unshakeable confidence
- You are not begging God; you are agreeing with God.
