VOW GREAT WEAPON OF SPIRITUAL WARFARE

 Judges  11:30  And Jephthah vowed a vow unto the LORD, and said, If thou shalt without fail deliver the children of Ammon into mine hands.

A vow is one of the least used weapons in spiritual warfare, unbelievers especially idol worshipers used it more than Christians. While a Christian is busy arguing who will eat the money he shall use for a vow, while the Christian is feeling cheated by his pastor, unbeliever on the other side has vowed fowl, goat, cow, or even human beings to his idol. Some of them even vow on different altars.

No wonder Jesus said "the children of this world are wiser than the children of God" "Luke 16:8 And the lord commended the unjust steward, because he had done wisely: for the children of this world are in their generation wiser than the children of light." my prayer is that God will make us wiser than our enemies in Jesus' name...

Before we continue, I want to use this medium to appreciate those who have started using this weapon of vow already. Also, note that I DIDN'T SAY YOU MUST VOW UNDER THIS MINISTRY. Please you are free to make your vow under any altar you like, but make sure the altar is genuine, make sure the altar has been your source of spiritual nourishment in the past and now, also make sure that the man of God representing God there is genuinely called by God and is doing God's will.

In our text we see a man called Japheth, this man was faced with a situation beyond his power, he quickly remembered that the only way out of this shame is to get God involved through a vow. "Judges 11:30 And Jephthah vowed a vow unto the LORD, and said, If thou shalt without fail deliver the children of Ammon into mine hands,"

Next time we shall discuss more about his vow, but today we are talking about the fact that he recognized and got God involved in the battle. This is a battle he mustn't fail because his half-brothers have trusted him, the destiny of the whole children of Israel rest on his shoulders, he just can't afford to fail.

I don't know how long you have been fighting spiritual warfare without any tangible progress, I don’t know why you are reading this message now, but I know you are not here by chance, I know there are many people who need this very secret but they are no longer here with us. You that are still here what is your decision about this message?

Jephthah's vow brought deliverance to the whole nation of Israel. But he bears the cost alone, your vow will bring deliverance to your linage not only you. Your vow can break the long-time yoke of backwardness, barrenness, marital delay, or even poverty in your family line.
