TODAY’S TEXT:
Isaiah 40:1-2.
“Comfort ye, comfort ye my people, saith your God. Speak ye comfortably to Jerusalem, and cry unto her, that her warfare is accomplished, that her iniquity is pardoned: for she hath received of the LORD’S hand double for all her sins.”
TODAY’S MESSAGE:
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. WhiIe in Christianity, it is a contest struggle with our spiritual enemies. Let’s not forget that, spiritual enemies are not visible, they are spirit; they are Satan and his agents. The more reason while the scripture says: *”For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal.”* (2 Corinthians 10:4)
Meanwhile as Christians, we are soldiers in spiritual military life. We are to carry on continual wars against the enemies of God’s kingdom. Job 2:2 reveals thus: _”…And Satan answered the LORD, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it.”_ Satan daily develop strategies against Christan soldiers and God’s kingdom.
Beloved, carnal weapons are useless in this warfare, but spiritual weapons such as: Salvation, Faith, Love, Righteousness, Peace, Truth, Word of God, Perseverance And Praying without ceasing. Do know that, all these put together, is a great arsenal in the hands of a believer against the enemy.
In conclusion, 1 Peter 5:8 pictured the nature of our arch-enemy, *”…be vigilant…your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour.”* This means that Satan is always on the move, no waiting, no resting, busy looking for whom to destroy in totality. May he not see you to destroy in Jesus name. Amen.
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 will be firm and ready at all times. I will not be consumed in this warfare.
PRAYER POINT:
Great and Almighty Father, you are the present help in time of troubles. Oh Lord, grant me the grace, to always be victorious over all enemies that wages war against my life in Jesus name. Amen.
Yours in Christ,
B. J. Folorunsho.
