Don’t fight your battles, let God fight for you, Rev Adigun tells christians
By Julius Alabi, Akure
The District Superintendent of the Apostolic Faith Church in West and Central Africa, Rev. Isaac Adigun, has urged Christians to stop worrying over their challenges and allow God to fight their battles, assuring them of victory through faith in Christ.
Adigun gave the charge while delivering a sermon titled “Victory Celebration Service” during the last Sunday service of the church’s 2026 camp meeting held at Faith City, Igbesa, Ogun State.
He told the congregation that Christians should approach life’s challenges with confidence in God’s power, rather than attempting to fight every battle by their own strength.
According to him, the message of the service was centred on the need for believers to move from worry to praise, trusting God to take control of difficult situations and give them victory.
He said the celebration of victory should not necessarily begin after a problem had been resolved, but could be expressed in advance by those who have faith in God’s ability to deliver them.
The cleric, who described Christians as “more than conquerors in Christ Jesus,” declared that God had already prevailed and would continue to demonstrate His power in the lives of His people.
The scripture for the service was taken from 2 Samuel 22:1-7, while Adigun also drew extensively from Exodus 15 recounting how Moses and the children of Israel celebrated God’s victory after crossing the Red Sea.
He likened the experience of the Israelites to the challenges confronting believers, noting that the people of Israel did not have to fight their enemies themselves because God intervened on their behalf.
Adigun urged the congregation not to allow their problems to overshadow their understanding of the greatness of God, stressing that difficult circumstances could eventually become testimonies of divine intervention.
He said: “All your problems, sickness, barrenness, pain, suffering and many more will stand still. Just watch God’s work. You do not need to raise a weapon. Don’t fight your battle; allow God to fight it.”
The District Superintendent further encouraged Christians to stop focusing solely on their problems and instead concentrate on the power and greatness of God, assuring them that present pain could eventually become a testimony.
He stressed that divine intervention could transform seasons of difficulty into periods of peace and joy, adding that the victory achieved through God would bring lasting peace to His people.
Adigun also described the service as a farewell gathering, urging the worshippers to return to their respective locations with renewed faith and expectation of greater things from God.
He expressed confidence that God would surprise the worshippers with good things, saying the Lord had already demonstrated His goodness and would continue to do more in their lives.
Reflecting on the camp meeting, he said God had done many things for the participants and expressed the hope that they would return home singing the victory song of Moses, while trusting that the “special umbrella” of Jesus Christ would continue to shield them.
