THE BATTLE

-

Ephesians 6:12

For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high [places].


When we understand who the enemy is, then victory is already ours. This is the literal wisdom in strategic planning to win a war.


Thus the bible allows us to see who the enemy is, that we may not make the error of taking on the wrong armour and weapons but be well prepared for the enemy we face.


Thus David did not need to go against Goliath with Saul's armour but with the missile of the Lord. The proclamation of the authority of God, placing the giant in his place " uncircumcised Philistine" then he declared his downfall. Thus a sling and a stone went out not just as a physical weapon but empowered to precisely hit target and destroy the enemy.


Therefore we learn and understand that we prepare ourselves always ready, never found off guard as we continue on our own journey, not forgetting that many have gone before us and many may still come after us.


Ephesians 6:13

Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.


There is always the tendency to see it as being all about the human instrument, however we ought to see the way Jesus saw it.


Matthew 16:23

But he turned, and said unto Peter, Get thee behind me, Satan: thou art an offence unto me: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but those that be of men.


I see the Lord strengthening us day after day. We will be alert in the Spirit. We will enjoy the manifestation of the victory we have in Christ Jesus. Halleluyah.


Be wise do not engage with the wrong person as an enemy, may the Spirit direct us. Victory is certain. Glory.


PRAYER

Loving Father thank You for the victory I have in Christ Jesus, may I not err but be led by Your Spirit to win every battle and have no business with that which You do not want me to be involved in. I win because You won. Glory to Your name Lord forevermore.


He calls us blessed.


Love

CHRIST ALONE

Colossians 2:8 Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ. We really need to decide what way, what life and whose philosophy we would follow. If it is of the Lord, then let us study, get it right and then live it. This, Paul was charging in his second letter to Timothy: 2Timothy 2:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. (HOW WILL THE HOLY SPIRIT LEAD US WHEN THERE IS NO WORD IN US FOR HIM TO WORK WITH? John 14:26) Too many things are speaking to us today that it seems the idols are having their way. Unless we drop the idols we cannot grab the full impact of who we are: 1John 5:21  Little children, keep yourselves from idols. Amen. Who and what have we been worshipping? Is it our daily needs just like the people of the world have? Matthew 6: 24-33 Is it money, which Jesus said we would have to choo...

TRADE WISELY

-
Isaiah 40:31 But those who wait on the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint. Many have traded their joy chasing over material things and the pleasures and satisfaction of the world. The question is "is it worth it?". Yes we must earn, work and keep improving day after day but we must remember "nothing is free". We must pay a price. So, what are we ready to sacrifice? Some have sacrificed, their: * health * peace of mind * children * marriage * calling * ministry * good name All in the bid to get material things. 2Timothy 4:10 for Demas has forsaken me, having loved this present world, and has departed for Thessalonica-- Crescens for Galatia, Titus for Dalmatia. There is always a process, we would get into trouble when we try to use the shortcut, to get it by all means and immediately. Let us be careful of what exchange we make! Let us ask like J...

CHRIST'S RULE

-
Isaiah 11:9 They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain: for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea. The prophecy on Judah's predicament did not end there, there was the prophecy of the return of the remnant. The end of the days will see a new wave of peace and joyous happiness. It will be characterized with the initial plan of God being fulfilled. Wildness in animals removed, wars will not need to be fought, snakes would no longer be poisonous. Peace would reign. This prophecy displayed salvation in Christ Jesus for the Gentiles.: Isaiah 11:10 And in that day there shall be a root of Jesse, which shall stand for an ensign of the people; to it shall the Gentiles seek: and his rest shall be glorious. Christ Jesus would also bring about the return of the remnant of the children of Israel from all parts of the earth. It would be like the exit of Israel from the bondage they experienced with Pharaoh in Egypt. No matter how we look ...
