Good morning, our Fire-starter comes from 1 Chronicles 7. Our
Fire-starter thought is: this fits you perfectly!!!!
Our Fire-starter verse is verse 11.

Once again, we are reading genealogies. I know as I have said before
they can be a little boring reading name after name but there is still
something we can get from the Word of God that will help us. This
morning our verse that we will be looking at is verse 11 mostly at the
last part of the verse where it states, … fit to go out to war and
battle.

In our text you will find a group of men that were fit to go out to war
and battle.

This word fit in the Websters 1828 dictionary means qualified!

In the spiritual sense I want you to think about your life for a moment
and ask yourself am I fit for the wars that I have been through or maybe
even going through right now.

We all fight battles and we all can have victory over our battles but
have you thought maybe God has qualified you for this battle? “God
doesn’t call the qualified he qualifies the called.”

We are fit for the war and battle way before he sends us through the
battle and he knows what’s best for us. I may not see what’s best for me
but God does.

I’ve had people tell me and I’m sure others have told you the same
thing, that fits you perfectly they are referring to you being qualified
for the task whatever it may be.

Someone that knows how to be a mechanic is qualified for the mechanic
position but on the other hand I’m not going to put a NBA basketball
player under the hood because more than likely they are not qualified to
fix my car.

Remember this morning we are fit “qualified”  for something.

Whatever you are fit in remember who makes you fit and that is Jesus
Christ!!!!

These men were fit for the war, they were qualified if you will and as
Christians we are fit for things in this life.

We qualify to give a gospel tract out, We are fit to read our Bible, and
We are qualified to pray; all these things we can do!!!!

Why is that because we are a child of God.
See the lost can read the Bible but not get anything out of it. The lost
are not fit to pray to God why because they are not his.
The only prayer our Savior can hear from a lost man is a prayer of
salvation true  repentance and full dependence on the Savior!!!!
This morning if you are asking yourself why. It is because you fit
perfectly for whatever you are going through because remember, the
Savior will not bring you through something unless he thinks it fits
you. He is not going to put you through someone else’s trials why?
Because you are not fit for them. You don’t qualify!!! My friend, you do
qualify and fit perfectly for your own things.

In closing I will mention this, if you and I put on someone else’s
burdens and troubles we would give them back to the person that we took
them from why? Because we don’t fit the bill for their trials but we
sure are fit for our own.

They were fit to go Out to war and battle

Are you fit for yours?
Hope you have a great day today!!!

1 Chronicles 7:1-40 KJV
Now the sons of Issachar were, Tola, and Puah, Jashub, and Shimron,
four. [2] And the sons of Tola; Uzzi, and Rephaiah, and Jeriel, and
Jahmai, and Jibsam, and Shemuel, heads of their father’s house, to wit,
of Tola: they were valiant men of might in their generations; whose
number was in the days of David two and twenty thousand and six hundred.
[3] And the sons of Uzzi; Izrahiah: and the sons of Izrahiah; Michael,
and Obadiah, and Joel, Ishiah, five: all of them chief men. [4] And with
them, by their generations, after the house of their fathers, were bands
of soldiers for war, six and thirty thousand men : for they had many
wives and sons. [5] And their brethren among all the families of
Issachar were valiant men of might, reckoned in all by their genealogies
fourscore and seven thousand. [6] The sons of Benjamin; Bela, and
Becher, and Jediael, three. [7] And the sons of Bela; Ezbon, and Uzzi,
and Uzziel, and Jerimoth, and Iri, five; heads of the house of their
fathers, mighty men of valour; and were reckoned by their genealogies
twenty and two thousand and thirty and four. [8] And the sons of Becher;
Zemira, and Joash, and Eliezer, and Elioenai, and Omri, and Jerimoth,
and Abiah, and Anathoth, and Alameth. All these are the sons of Becher.
[9] And the number of them, after their genealogy by their generations,
heads of the house of their fathers, mighty men of valour, was twenty
thousand and two hundred. [10] The sons also of Jediael; Bilhan: and the
sons of Bilhan; Jeush, and Benjamin, and Ehud, and Chenaanah, and
Zethan, and Tharshish, and Ahishahar. [11] All these the sons of
Jediael, by the heads of their fathers, mighty men of valour, were

battle. [12] Shuppim also, and Huppim, the children of Ir, and Hushim,
the sons of Aher. [13] The sons of Naphtali; Jahziel, and Guni, and
Jezer, and Shallum, the sons of Bilhah. [14] The sons of Manasseh;
Ashriel, whom she bare: ( but his concubine the Aramitess bare Machir
the father of Gilead: [15] And Machir took to wife the sister of Huppim
and Shuppim, whose sister’s name was Maachah;) and the name of the
second was Zelophehad: and Zelophehad had daughters. [16] And Maachah
the wife of Machir bare a son, and she called his name Peresh; and the

and Bered his son, and Tahath his son, and Eladah his son, and Tahath
his son, [21] And Zabad his son, and Shuthelah his son, and Ezer, and
Elead, whom the men of Gath that were born in that land slew, because
they came down to take away their cattle. [22] And Ephraim their father
mourned many days, and his brethren came to comfort him. [23] And when
he went in to his wife, she conceived, and bare a son, and he called his
name Beriah, because it went evil with his house. [24] (And his daughter
was Sherah, who built Beth-horon the nether, and the upper, and

son, and Tahan his son, [26] Laadan his son, Ammihud his son, Elishama
his son, [27] Non his son, Jehoshua his son. [28] And their possessions
and habitations were, Beth-el and the towns thereof, and eastward
