How to Win War Without Fighting- Arch Bishop Benson Idahosa (Part Two)

I arrived United States a week ago, I got to New York, the pastors who came to welcome me at the airport came by 6 am, my flight didn’t come till 10 am and they left, to come back. They were told the plane would come between 10 and 11, so they went back.


I didn’t know, when I came out of the custom and immigration, I carried my briefcase, with cheques, cash, my Bible, passport, half of my life in the natural is inside my briefcase (anybody who carries my briefcase knows what is inside); everything, my arch bishop’s chain, my gold, whatever! Anything! Bank cheque books, everything- gold card!

I decided to call my office in Washington to find out what flight I was going to Bahamas with, because I am the key-speaker in the 3rd World Congress in Bahamas.

As I put the briefcase down, a man came and said; “You need a taxi?” and I said, “No please” another person at then back said, “You need a taxi?” when I turned and moved my leg, they took my briefcase.

Within one second, the cash I’m traveling with, my return ticket, passport, bank cheque, books, my Bible, my books, name it, all gone, in a second.

Heat came on me, suddenly I’m stack naked with nothing with me, not one dime.

I didn’t know what to do! The first thing I heard was- peace!

This is a Saturday, I’m going to Bahamas, I didn’t come to America, I only passed through; my passport gone, tickets gone, cash gone, cheques, somebody gave me cheques to pay into his account, other cheques from sons in the ministry, I had no money on me for anything, whatsoever and this was a Saturday.

Within 5 minutes, police surrounded me, they said, “This is New York, this New York, this is New York, you know this is New York, it’s gone!”

Not one person gave me words of encouragement, up to police, all they said was, “You were in a wrong place”.


But I heard one voice- peace!

Say peace! Peace from God, by himself, by all means, always! Halleluiah!

So what did I do? I called the ambassador of Nigerai, I called staffs and they said I should go to hotel and rest and call back by 3’0clock.

There’s no money to pay for hotel! They gave me money, I went to hotel, stayed there and by three’0’clock, I called.

I was asked to come to the embassy, “we are going to open the embassy for you, on Saturday, by 3’0clock”

5 pm, I had new passport, on a Saturday!

The company that runs airline to Nigeria sent me 2 first class tickets for my wife and me- free!

By all means- God Himself!

When you have anxiety and anxiousness, you lose control, but when you have peace, when anything try to happen to you, find alternatives.

Peace by all means! Always! Halleluiah!

You can win war without fighting, by all means, God Himself- halleluiah!

I got to Bahamas on Sunday with a news passport, new Bible. Peace by all means, by God Himself.

Matthew 2:7-13

“Then Herod, when he had privily called the wise men, enquired of them diligently what time the star appeared. And he sent them to Bethlehem, and said, “Go and search diligently for the young child, and when ye found him, bring me word again, that I may come and worship him also.

“When they had heard the king, they departed and lo, the star, which they saw in the east, went before them, till it came and stood over where the young child was.

“When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy. And when they were come into the house, they saw the young child with Mary his mother and fell down and worshipped him and they opened their treasures, they presented unto him gifts; gold, and frankincense, and myrrh. And being warned of God in a dream that they should not return to Herod, they departed into their own country another way.

“And when they were departed, behold the angel of the Lord appeareth to Jospeh in a dream, saying, Arise, and take the young child and his mother, and flee into Egypt and be thou there until I bring thee word; for Herod will seek the young child to destroy him”

For the records:

When You Leave Where God Sends You, You Star Vanishes

From Matthew 2: 7, we are told that the wise men went to Herod’s house, when Herod saw them he said to them secretly, “Go search for the baby, when you find him, come and tell me, I will go also and worship him.

The Bible say, when they went to Herod’s house, the star that was leading them vanished. When you leave where God send you, to Herod’s house your star will vanish.

Immediately they entered Herod’s house, the star disappeared. But we are told that when they came out of Herod’s house, the star reappeared and they rejoiced exceedingly when they saw it.

Don’t go to Herod’s house when you are looking for Jesus. Don’t go find out anything about this church from another church, if you want to know anything about Living Word, come to Living Word. If you go to another place to ask of this church, your star will disappear.

No Pastor Should Squat

When they came into the house (Matthew 2:11). Everybody thinks Jesus was always in a manger, he spent only few hours there, he left the manger and went into the house.

Nobody can give gold, silver and frankincense in a manger. If you need gold, you need silver, you need frankincense, and you must be in a house.

That’s why no pastor should squat; no pastor should squat with anyone. Pastor should find a home to live, Jesus had house. The wise men couldn’t give him their gold and silver in a manger until they met him in the house. If you want to get honor and glory, be in a house, be born in a manger but don’t spend eternity there.

It doesn’t matter where you start but don’t end up there. Halleluiah!

Jesus was born in a manger but never lived there!

Why? God will give you peace by all means.

Anyone Can be attacked by the devil

Now the Bible says specifically in Matthew 2:12, “For Herod would seek to destroy the young child’s life.

Verse 13, “And when they were departed, behold the angel of the Lord appeareth to Joseph in a dream, saying, Arise and take the young child and his mother, and flee.

Any time there’s going to be danger in a Christian’s life; God will make him stand up! Why? He will keep you from all evil.

Question: what offense HAS Jesus committed that Herod wants to destroy him? Did he do bad, has he stolen, did he lie, was he taking his thrown, did he fight? Why did Herod want to destroy him when he had committed no offense?

Answer: Nobody is too holy for the devil’s attack.

You say, “I pay tithe, I give offering, that’s no guarantee for the enemy to go to hell yet. I vow- fine! When you give tithes, offerings, pay your vow, God rebukes the devourer for your sake. Giving is a protection from lack, its not a deliverance from attack.

When you pay your tithe, your pocket is full of money, when you eat your seed, you have no harvest. But that will not stop the devil from knowing your home address

No Land is too dangerous for God to keep you.

Matthew 2:14, “When he arose, he took the young child and his mother by night, and departed into Egypt.

This is where Pharaoh was looking for a boy to kill but God said go, where I am sending you, Pharaoh will be stupid he will not know you are in town.

No land is too dangerous for God not to keep you. Egypt was dangerous, but God say go there- stay!

You don’t need to grow to beat the devil

Matthew 2: 19-20 “But when Herod was dead, behold an angel of the Lord appeareth in a dream to Joseph in Egypt saying, Arise, and take the young child and his mother, and go into the land of Israel: for they are dead which sought the young child’s life.

They are dead that sought, they are dead who sought your life, they are dead- go to Egypt so your Herod can die when you are away. Don’t be at home to be charged for murder. I take you away, but when I kill him in your absence, you can come back after his funeral service.

He was a child when he went to Egypt and was still a child when he left Egypt, but Herod died- halleluiah!

You don’t need to grow to beat the devil if God can beat him for you. You don’t say when I grow up, I’ll beat the devil, let God beat him for you.

Flee to Egypt, while you are away, I God will give you peace by all means, but when you are away, you will have peace in Egypt, when you come back, you have peace.

Go to Egypt for peace, by all means, while you are there I will kill who waited to kill you. So you can have peace by all means, always.

Your Herod is dead- I say your Herod is dead- your Herod is dead, your marriage Herod is dead, your business Herod is dead, the church Herod is dead, and whatever Herod you have is dead- halleluiah!

Say- “My Herod is dead”

Who killed him? - God! Why? - That you may have peace, always by all means. Whatever it costs God, whatever takes God to let you have peace.

Your Herod is dead! Your business Herod is dead, your marriage Herod is dead, your ministry Herod is dead, and Herod is dead. Herod is died.
