I
really wonder on this; Maasai community tends to rub themselves with lion’s oil
to protect themselves and their bomas’ property including animals against lions
so, that when lion came and sense the smell of lion’s oil on them don’t come
near or even run away from them; then if so the story is marvelous.
But all
in all to God the case is different; we don’t change ourselves to be like
them so, that we can be feared by them but rather the fear in them about us is
what changes them to be like us, that is the great sign of power (Read story of
Daniel in the den of lions <Daniel 6>).
If
Lion is the King of Jungle for you to overpower Lion you need to be feared by Lion
and not by other animals like antelope. I mean for the strong army to fear you,
you need to be like the mighty army yourself as a one man with JESUS (e.g in
the Bible story of Leprous men <2 Kings 7> and the story of Gideon in
Judges 6 & 7). This means once you are in JESUS in whatever situation you don't struggle to be compatible with them but rather them to be compatible with you that's what called the power of change in Christ. And that act of causing all things of human nature to gravitate toward the Love of God Spiritually in Christ Jesus of Nazareth is what means God's power @ work.
Therefore until you realize JESUS is God and He is the One doing all things in us, then is when God's power is strengthened in you. So, all need God’s approval to get really success i.e. stress free-prosperity with joyous heart and JESUS Name is the only SEAL of GOD to approve all things in this earth. Believe God your rescuer and trust His name JESUS; for sure in Him you will find rescue and rest.
Be Gravity force of God in JESUS Name, Amen.
