Subduing forces of Opposition “Confront, Contend and Conquer” C-factor
God Has given us all power and authority to subdue every opposing force, contending against them and prevailing over our adversaries. He partners with us to ensure that we emerge victors where we were victims.
We have been empowered and equipped to overrule the evil counsel of the wicked; establishing God’s divine counsel.
3 C’s: Confront, Contend and Conquer
Confront your opposers or contenders. Do not run away from them or give the impression that you are afraid of them. Even if every other person is fearful, close to be different like David, Daniel, Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego who all had the “Excellent Spirit” of God.
David confronted, contended with Goliath and ultimately conquered him and even crushed his head. Mordecai and Esther confronted the situation in the place of prayer and fasting and ultimately conquered Haaman and all his wicked plots.
A good example is Mordecai and Esther, subduing Haaman’s evil plot.
The King Ahaseurus woke up one day and chose to open the book of remembrance, and Mordecai was favoured and restored to a life of joy and peace.
Our victory is guaranteed in Christ. We are assured that in any and every battle as God’s Children, we are not alone. God promised us that He will contend with those who contend with us or threaten us.
Nugget
1. Our Victory was settled before the battle began. Therefore we must be bold even in the fiery furnace or Lions’s den.
2. Jesus is the always the fourth Man in the fiery furnace and the Lion that prevails over every roaring lion.

“That night the king could not sleep. So one was commanded to bring the book of the records of the chronicles; and they were read before the king.

“Kings shall be your foster fathers, And their queens your nursing mothers; They shall bow down to you with their faces to the earth, And lick up the dust of your feet. Then you will know that I am the Lord, For they shall not be ashamed who wait for Me.” Shall the prey be taken from the mighty, Or the captives of the righteous be delivered? But thus says the Lord: “Even the captives of the mighty shall be taken away, And the prey of the terrible be delivered; For I will contend with him who contends with you, And I will save your children. I will feed those who oppress you with their own flesh, And they shall be drunk with their own blood as with sweet wine. All flesh shall know That I, the Lord, am your Savior, And your Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob.””
‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭49:23-26‬ ‭NKJV‬‬.

““Look!” he answered, “I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire; and they are not hurt, and the form of the fourth is like the Son of God.” Daniel‬ ‭3:25‬ ‭NKJV‬‬.
