The Fight against God
March 28, 2012 | By: Tania Rubim | Posted in: Uncategorized
“Jonathan spoke well of David to Saul his father and said to him, “Let not the king do wrong to his servant David; he has not wronged you, and what he has done has benefited you greatly.” 1 Samuel 19:4
Do you dare fight against the will of God? Perhaps the first answer that comes to your mind is: “No way, it would be a waste of time.” But we do it every time we do not accept God’s will for our lives.
King Saul did it, and maybe you without realizing it have proceeded in the same manner. God had chosen David to reign in Saul’s place, but he was fighting with all his strength so that no one would conquer his throne, we can say that Saul “swam and swam and died on the beach,” certainly no one can fight against God .
I would also like to point out Jonathan’s attitude regarding what was happening.
Jonathan was Saul’s son and therefore heir to the throne after the death of his father. He could have also been interested in ending David’s life, since he was going to take all of his “Rights” away, the throne of Israel. At the end of the day, the whole family would be very hurt; he could have chosen to stay on his father side.
But see the difference between them; Saul became very rebellious, even against God himself, showing hatred, anger and rebellion. Instead, Jonathan proved to be submissive and to have the character of God, accepting His will, he ignored his father’s game to turn against God, and accepted it and submitted to the will of God.
And you, have you submitted yourself to God’s will for your life or have you been fighting him? You already know, you would swim and swim and die on the beach, for who can fight against God himself? How many times have you instead in doing it? You been rebellious, you have been very angry, wanting to do everything your way, and certainly the consequences were not good.
If you have gone through a similar experience as a wife or as an assistant, please leave your comments, and be sure that it will help others.
I’ll leave you some examples that will help:
* You insisted on a relationship knowing that it wasn’t the will of God.
* You did not accept when another person took a responsibility for something that to your point of view you should have been chosen.
* God gave guidance, but you wanted to do things your way.
*God chose you to do something that was not of your liking, so you never gave it your best and therefore, it didn’t bare any fruit.
* You nurtured a friendship that wasn’t good for you, you knew it wasn’t God’s will, but you wanted to follow your own will.
*You and your husband were chosen to preach the word of God in another country or state and you did not agree, or said you didn’t want, or went reluctantly.

I read all your comments and be sure that you have blessed me indeed. Thank you.
I also like most due to the pressures of being a young single assistant allowed myself to get anxious so much so that I ended up dating someone whom I loved for many years. I was an assistant very young naive and he was not even a man of God, he wasn’t even a member of the church and I thought I could make chains of prayers for him to convert, I must say that that was a very silly faith that I had. To cut a long story short it cost me my salvation, my faith and my ministry I am so grateful that God delivered me, cleaned me inside out before calling me to serve Him I won’t say again because I am a complete different person today.
My dears being single is not easy and you will get tempted but be sure that the devil is threatened by your future that is why he tempts you. Today I no longer worry about my love life, God has provided a man of God for me when I least expected it.
Hi Mrs Tania
Yes, it happened to me sometime, I was blinded by “love”,(disobedient) I was dating this one pastor whom I loved so much and thought that he loves me too, later in a stage I found out that he did not love me.
What is interesting here is that, everybody was against the choice I made to be with him, some pastors advised me to break up with him, I did not listen and said that they were jealous, we continued dating until he was transferred to another province and yes things changed between us, I could see that he is not the same but I still didn’t have courage to cut that relationship, God showed me many signs and you know what I did, I just ignored them up until the day he called the relationship off.
Deep down in my heart I knew that relationship was not the will of God yet I insisted until I suffered the consequences.
To prove that the devil had a plan of his own, my so called boy friend decided to leave the ministry and now speaks bad about the church etc.
I really thank God for giving me another chance.
A Servant has no right to complain or question God about what He requires her to do if a person is trully a servant she will do exactly as God asks her to without having any doubts or questions instead of questioning God they will walk an extra mile doing more yhan they are required to.
Thank You Mrs. Tania
Powerful massage, Now i understand that i can not fight against God and that i should be submissive not to be rebellious. What ever responsibility that i am given to do, i have to do it with all of my heart so that there can be fruits. My own will it has to die completely.
Some people fight against God but they do not have power to overcome Him, without action there are no results. We cannot fight against the person that created us.
