Defensive And Offensive Transition
We spoke about the fact that great football teams show their winning ability in what they do when they don’t have the ball and the opposition seems to be controlling the game.
They go into what is called defensive transition. What this means is the close down the spaces, their players are in close proximity to one another giving no space to the opposition.
For us, in times of tests and adversity, close ranks in your relationships. This is not the time to withdraw from family, Church or friends. Pray for everyone connected to you and show more empathy and compassion. Let there be no “space” between you and God. Worship him, acknowledge his mercy and love for you and you thank him for his unfailing love.
Secondly, the team then goes into offensive transition. What this means is as they defend, they are seeking for the opportunity to go on the counter and catch the opposition. Challenges present you with new opportunities. As you press closer into your relationship with God and men, look out for the big opportunity. Don’t force anything, the opportunity will come.
Don’t play the victim card seeking sympathy and miss God’s timing. Keep your eyes wide open, you will go on the offensive shortly and by that win.
Romans 5:3-5 (MSSG)
“There’s more to come: We continue to shout our praise even when we’re hemmed in with troubles, because we know how troubles can develop passionate patience in us, and how that patience in turn forges the tempered steel of virtue, keeping us alert for whatever God will do next. In alert expectancy such as this, we’re never left feeling shortchanged. Quite the contrary—we can’t round up enough containers to hold everything God generously pours into our lives through the Holy Spirit!”

Salvation Prayers
If you don’t Know Jesus as your personal Lord and Saviour and would like to accept him into your life as your personal Lord and Saviour, Please say this prayer:
Father, I know that I have broken your laws and my sins have separated me from You. I am truly sorry, and now I want to turn away from my past sinful life toward You. Please forgive me, and help me avoid sinning again. I believe that Your son, Jesus Christ died for my sins, was resurrected from the dead, is alive, and hears my prayer. I invite Jesus to become the Lord of my life, to rule and reign in my heart from this day forward. Please send Your Holy Spirit to help me obey You, and to do Your Will for the rest of my life. In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.
