You think Ahab was pure and holy? You think he deserved victory? If God were to follow some of us strictly according to how we are, are you sure you would still be standing? Are you sure there hasn’t been disobedience that was enough to give Satan permission to even defeat you in battle?
There are moments when God, in His mercy, says, “I want to prove something to the kingdom of darkness.” This is not because of your righteousness, and not because you are clean, but because He has something to demonstrate. The least you can do is obey the simple commands you are being given.
The battle is not over until God says it is.
When Elisha spoke to the king in 2 Kings 13 and told him to strike the arrows, he struck three times and stopped. The prophet was angry. He said, “You should have struck five or six times.” That means something. That means there is a measure of warfare required for certain victories.
Every strike was a battle. Every strike was progress. He understood something about spiritual warfare that we often ignore. Three was not enough because of the size of the opposition. In other words, you cannot expect one encounter to finish something that requires sustained obedience and sustained engagement.
Many of us want to fight once and be done. One prayer meeting. One fast. One Bible study. And that’s it.
But sometimes, meetings last three days, five days. These are acts of war. Things are breaking. Something is falling off. Something is being removed. But if you stop midway, if you let up, if you allow distraction, you extend the warfare.
There is a required persistence, and if you don’t pursue the advantage, the enemy lives to return.
