TODAY’S MESSAGE:
In our last message, we considered the Christian warfare, by calling to mind, the numerous battles and conflicts assigned against the elects of God from the pit of hell. Daily rolling out to discomfort the believers in Christ Jesus. Notwithstanding, the alertness, the constancy and the readiness to wage war against our adversaries, is embedded in us at salvation.

Furthermore, our today’s text expressly admonish us to put on the complete arsenal of God, available in Christ Jesus, so as to withstand the enemies tricks and arrows. And most importantly, you and I should not perceive or take a fellow human being as your real enemy, but the evil spirit behind individual misdemeanors, is who you should take on or tackle squarely.
In conclusion, our memory verse says; *”…my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.”* Beloved, the good Lord encourage you and I today, to grow up and be strong in Him. That’s, having a full confidence in the power of His strength, influence, capability and capacity as God, to grant us total victory over all foes.

What is warfare? Warfare comprises of War and Fare, the waging of war or armed conflict against an enemy. It is believed to be, the intensity, nature and the cost of fighting.

TODAY’S MESSAGE:
Yesterday, we considered sins and sorrow as two in one entity that steal our joy of salvation. We also saw salvation from sins and sorrow as the main mission of our Lord Jesus Christ. These enemies were defeated, as they were not exempted from divine judgement on Calvary.
Nonetheless, Principalities and powers are spiritual being, with satanic authority or evil that reign in the spiritual realm against spiritual and physical advancement of the beloved of God. It is good to note that powers and Principalities are also judged for yours and my sake at Calvary.
Meanwhile, our today’s text admonished us to remain dead to sins, after our trespasses are forgiven. For all the handwriting of ordinances from principalities and powers, that was against us, which was contrary to us, Jesus took them out of the way. Dear friend, do know that, powers and principalities are acquitted through our disobedience to God’s commandments.
In conclusion beloved in Christ Jesus, powers and principalities were not only defeated by Jesus for your sake, they were openly revealed and rebuked. Awareness of their operations with authority to subdue them is made available for the believers. “In Jesus name, every knee shall bow and every tongue confess Him to be the Lord.” Hallelujah! Amen.

THEME:
The Defeated Enemies: Sins And Sorrows.

MEMORY VERSE:
“Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.”
Isaiah 53:4.

TODAY’S TEXT:
John 16:20
“Verily, verily, I say unto you, That ye shall weep and lament, but the world shall rejoice: and ye shall be sorrowful, but your sorrow shall be turned into joy.”

TODAY’S MESSAGE:
Yesterday, we considered death as one of the enemies defeated, through the sacrifice on the cross of Calvary. The agony of the physical death and pang of eternal condemnation or spiritual death, is out of the way, for as many that cling to the salvation won for them on the cross of Calvary.
Nevertheless, our today’s text thus remind us that, At a time, due to life’s trials and temptation, sorrow may come with weeping and Lamentations. Let’s not forget also that, disobedience to God can lead to sorrow too. As long as you repent and you don’t lose focus again, the end will be full of joy.
Furthermore, in fulfillment of the prophecy that heralded His birth, *”…and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.”* (Matthew 1:21.) Jesus took our sins and nailed it on the cross, He saved us from the power of sin and sorrow. And reconciled us with the Father in heaven. A mission fulfilled through God’s love, in order eradicate sins and sorrows in believers life.
In conclusion, Proverbs 10:22 says; _”The blessing of the LORD, it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it.”_ When God decides to release His blessings on His people, it is always perfect and everlasting. It is without pain or sorrow attach to it. When He blesses His children, an end surely come to weeping and Lamentation.

God bless you.
Till He returns or call you home, do remain in the power of His love.
*Jesus is coming very soon.*
Be prepared.

DAILY CONFESSION:
I shall not be defeated by sins and sorrows in life. For, I am a Victor in Christ Jesus.

PRAYER POINT:
Merciful Father, in your mercy and love, uphold me not to fall into the power of sin. And please Lord, turn all my sorrows to joy and let me laugh over my enemies in Jesus name. Amen

Yours in Christ,
B. J. Folorunsho.
