PRINCIPLES OF SFC TACTICAL SOLUTIONS
To many people say "we need to keep fighting the good fight by staying on our knees and keep on praying and asking God to help us. God will never forsake us."
The problem I have with this statement is not that I do not believe this; I simply feel that it is not enough and God, in preparing us, wants a lot more then we think.
The Israelites under the rule of King Saul had a similar situation than us here in South Africa today, during their campaign against the Philistines, in obtaining the Promised Land. It took a herd boy named David, who had no experience of fighting the enemy to remind them of what we are supposed to do. David had skill in his hand ie using a slingshot in protecting his flock of sheep. He also was one of God's favourites and was filled with the love of our Lord in his heart! He therefore had to combine these two characteristics in fighting the giant Goliath.
We need skill and ability, just as much as we need spiritual preparation to fight the evil in our country. How do we obtain skill and ability? Apply to attend a course or courses of choice today presented by SFC Tactical Solutions. How do we obtain spiritual strengthening? Through effectively partaking in your local communion and keeping spiritually fit, not just as a warrior alone (sheepdog) but as a Soldier for Christ, in your own way?
We all have our "Goliath's" every day. We can chose to allow them to keep us down, or we can chose to rise to the occasion!
