Word : Warfare Weapon That Never Fails {Part 1}

WARFARE WEAPONS THAT NEVER FAILS_{{Part 1}}

We live in a world that is full of ups and down and for a man to be living in this life, you will have your own share. Life itself is a battle on its own. The battle of life is not a respecter of persons, age, gender, tribe, social status, religion. Nowadays, you will see a young boy of 10 years old having hypertension; today you will see this woman striving so hard to cater for the need of the family; a wealth man will go from pillar to post, all in search for just a child; an head of state will be flown to different country to get healing from an infirmity. It is a hard experience, unfortunate as it looks; it has been confirmed in the bible in

{Job 14:1} Man that is born of a woman is of few days and full of trouble.

Life is not to be seen as an entertainment hub; it is not all about pleasure; it is not to be taken casual; life is a serious battle ground. People that are defeated in the battle of life are the victims and people that have overcome in the battle of life are conquers. You cannot be called a champion without facing any challenge; just like you cannot be awarded a degree without facing examination.

{John 16:33} “In the worldye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcomethe world.”

This is a scriptural record that confirms that there will be problems in this life; the confidence and assurance that we have is that we have been given the power to overcome those problems of life.

{Ephesians 6:12} “For we wrestlenot against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places”

The bible makes us to realize that in this world, we will have to “Fight”. The battle has already been declared, right from the beginning of this world; when Satan was cast down to the earth and he vowed to attack the man and his seed. {Rev12:12}

{Psalm 34:19} “Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the LORD delivereth him out of them all”

The bible also gives us the confidence that, though the battle may be tense; though it appears that Satan is having an upper hand; by the rising of heaven, we will conquer allof them.

Our failure to realize that this life is a battle might makes to fall victim. In the battle ground, there is no middle ground; you cannot be on the fence, it is either you fight or become victim.

I pray for you; You shall not become victims, in the battle of life, in the name of Jesus.

Whether we hurt anyone, whether we are the nicest person to be with; even if we give out to people all we have, it is not a guarantee that we will not fight us. The bible says;” . . . the whole world lieth in wickedness.” {1John5:19} and that he heart of man is desperately wicked {Jer 17:9}.

We will be looking at several tools the almighty has given to us to win the battle of life. A basic tool is Prayer; Strategy is essential in the battle field; A very effective battle strategy is Night Vigil.

1: Midnight Prayers/Night Vigils

You can never underestimate the power of night prayers.

The night is a medium Satan and children has device to do their enterprise. The night has characteristics of evil, Fear, wickedness, bondage and oppression. The devil and his agent now use this features of the night to perform their wickedness.

The night has the highest level of spiritual traffic; hence it is the best time to possess your possession

Satanic Agents of Night

1. Spiritual Caterers: The evil ones bring food to people in the dream and through this, transfer sicknesses and infirmity into their life.

"but while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat and went his way." {Mat 13:25}

2. Spirit Husband/wife: These are spiritual evil powers that come in form of human beings; they sleep with their victims; in the dream and sometime even physical. With this kind of operation, their victims will find it difficult to live a good live in the spiritual realm. In the spirit realm, they can have children but such might be difficult in the physical.

Some spirit spouse can be very jealous and even prevent their victims from getting married. Some evil give their victims money in the physical realm but in exchange of their happiness in life. You need to examine your life and confirm that you are not a victim, if it is the case, go for deliverance.

3. Witches and Wizard: These set of night workers are most common; they operate pure wickedness and have no iota of mercy. They do their operations majorly in the midnight They collect and exchange people’s virtue; they cause havoc in homes, cause accidents. They eat flesh and drink the blood of their victims. No wonder the bible says; “When the wicked, even mine enemies and my foes, came upon me to eat up my flesh, they stumbled and fell.” {Psalm 27:2}

Say this prayer like this: Powers! assigned to eat my flesh, assigned to drink my blood; eat your own flesh, drink your own blood in the name of Jesus.

4. Occult Powers: These powers collect peoples virtues; they get stronger, healthier and wealthier through other people’s virtue. They read and manipulate shining stars. Their victims could see that, it is only one person that is doing well in a compound or family or office. They mostly do their operations in the midnight.

5. Familiar Spirits: This powers are ones that are close to you; they know you even more than yourself; they understands the weakness in a family; they know what brought down your forefathers; they know the ladder that can be used to penetrate into your life. They usually use this information to attack. It is usually done in the nigh t because of the high spiritual traffic. That is the reason why you will hear that someone cry from the sleep and ran mad or died; they have concluded work on such person.

Time will not permit us to go further on the evil night spiritual workers; we will dwell more on them some other time.

Word : The Discerning Mind

A DISCERNING MIND

“Give me an understanding mind so that I can govern your people well and know the difference between right and wrong.” 1 Kings 3:9, NLT

A discerning mind is the product of the heart.
The heart is directly fed through the senses of a human. Whatever is translated and interpreted through the senses affects the heart.

The affection of one’s mind determines a person’s line of actions and dreams. In other words, what we really desire is what develops in our mind to either make us discerning and conscientious or having no room for godly discernment. An understanding heart is what gives wisdom(Proverbs 24:1-9). Solomon never asked God to come down and rule the people for him. But he asked for what was needed to accomplish his task–wisdom. God does not promise riches and long life to those who follow Him, but He gives us all these as addition when we put His kingdom, His interest and His principles first (Matthew 6:31-33).

Wisdom is the ability to discern what is best and the strength of character to act upon that knowledge.

While Solomon was known for wisdom, he never walked in it in his household. You should get and use wisdom.

Word:The Importance of Perseverance

The Importance of Perseverance

Revelation 1:9,10: I, John, your brother and fellow-partaker in the tribulation and kingdom and perseverance which are in Jesus, was on the island called Patmos, because of the word of God and the testimony of Jesus. I was in the Spirit on the Lord’s day, and I heard behind me a loud voice like the sound of a trumpet.

John refers to himself as a “fellow-partaker in the tribulation which is in Jesus”. Every wholehearted disciple of Jesus should be prepared to partake in the “tribulation which is in Jesus”, as long as he is in this world.

John did not get this unveiling while living in comfort. He received it, while experiencing tribulation at Patmos, because he had been faithful to “the word of God and the testimony of Jesus” (v.9). He had to experience tribulation himself in order to be able to write about the saints experiencing the great tribulation from the Antichrist in the last days. God takes us through trials and tribulations first before giving us a ministry to others who are facing tribulation.

Paul said, “God encourages us in all our affliction so that we may be able to encourage those who are in any affliction with the (same) encouragement with which we ourselves are encouraged by God” (2 Cor.1:4 - Amplified).

It is not surprising therefore that the doctrine that Jesus would come secretly and take (rapture) His church out of the world, before the great tribulation, arose for the first time in a country (England) where Christians were living in comfort, and at a time (mid-19th century) when they were not facing any persecution for their faith at all. Today this doctrine continues to be proclaimed and believed by Christians who live in ease and comfort, in countries where there is no persecution against Christians at all. Since the prayers of most Christians are basically of this order : “Lord make my life more comfortable on earth”, it is not surprising that they have gladly accepted this teaching of a pre-tribulation rapture of the church. Thus Satan has succeeded in lulling multitudes of Christians with a false comfort, so that they will be unprepared for the great tribulation when it does come upon them.

The words of Jesus are clear: “In the world YOU HAVE TRIBULATION. But take courage; I have overcome the world” (Jn.16:33). He never promised that we would escape tribulation - whether small tribulations or the great one. But He did say that we could overcome even as He overcame. He is far more interested in making us overcomers than in saving us out of tribulation, because He is far more interested in our character than in our comfort.

Neither did Jesus ever say that escaping the great tribulation was a reward for faithfulness, as some teach. On the contrary, He said that those who forsook everything to follow Him would have even more tribulations than others who didn’t follow Him (Mk.10:30).

When He prayed to His Father for His disciples, He said, “I do not ask Thee to take them out of the world, but to keep them from the evil.” (Jn.17:15). He did NOT want His disciples to be raptured out of the world at that time, just because they were going to face tribulation.

In the 3rd-century when Christians were being thrown to the lions in the Roman amphitheaters and being burnt at the stake in different parts of the Roman empire, the Lord did not rescue them from such tribulations. The God Who shut the lions’ mouths and took away the power of the fiery furnace in Daniel’s day, did NOT do such miracles for these disciples of Jesus - for these were new-covenant Christians who were going to glorify God through death. Like Jesus their Master, they neither asked for, nor expected twelve legions of angels to come and protect them from their enemies.

From heaven, God watched the Bride of His Son being torn to pieces by lions and being burnt to ashes; and He was glorified in their testimony - for they had “followed the Lamb, wherever He went”, even unto a violent physical death(Rev.14:4). The only word that the Lord spoke to them was, “Be faithful until death and I will give you a crown of life” (Rev.2:10).

Even today, when the disciples of Jesus are being tortured and persecuted for His Name in many lands, the Lord does not take them away from the earth. And He will not rapture us to heaven before the great tribulation either. He will do something far better. He will make us overcomers in the midst of the great tribulation.

Jesus is far more interested in saving us from evil than in saving us from tribulation. He permits us to go through tribulation because He knows that that is the only way that we can become spiritually strong.

Such a message is strange teaching indeed to a comfort-loving Christendom that has been coddled in their pews everySunday for years by ear-tickling preachers. But this is the message that the apostles preached to the early churches.“They (the apostles Paul and Barnabas) strengthened the souls of the disciples, encouraging them to continue in the faith, saying, `Through many tribulations we must enter the kingdom of God’” (Acts 14:22).

The little trials that we face at home and at work now, are but a preparation for the greater ones that will come in the days to come. That is why it is essential that we are faithful now. For God says, “If you have run with footmen and they have tired you out, then how can you compete with horses?” (Jer.12:5).

John speaks here about being a “fellow-partaker in the tribulation and kingdom and perseverance which are in Jesus” (v.9). We have to enter into fellowship with Jesus in tribulation first, before we can share His throne with Him in His kingdom.

Perseverance is a great virtue that is emphasized throughout the New Testament.

Jesus Himself said “They will deliver you to tribulation……. but the one who endures to the end shall be saved” (Mt.24:13).
