THE REALITY OF SPIRITUAL WARFARE
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 (Ephesians 6:12). Sequel to our previous study, notice that our opening scripture doesn’t stop at “For we wrestle not”; rather, it goes on to tell us who […]
SPIRITUAL WEAPONS FOR SPIRITUAL WARFARE
For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds; casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God… (2 Corinthians 10:4-5). The Bible makes it clear that as Christians, we’re engaged in a spiritual warfare. This warfare isn’t […]
REFUSE TO BE LIMITED BY THE FLESH
For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit (Romans 8:5). As a Christian, you’re not to live by the dictates of the flesh. You’re not called to respond to life on the basis of what you feel, […]
MINGLED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT
But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit (1 Corinthians 6:17). One of the biggest truths ever revealed to us in the Word of God is our oneness with the Lord. We’re inseparably one with Him. It’s the reason we can do the work of God with power. He didn’t call us […]
THE LANGUAGE OF THE HEAVENLY
The inhabitant shall not say, I am sick: the people that dwell therein shall be forgiven their iniquity (Isaiah 33:24). Your words reveal your origin. What you say is the expression of who you are and where you’re from. In other words, your speech unveils your nature. If you’re born of God, then your language […]
TAKE CHARGE OF YOUR BODY
Know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost…and ye are not your own? (1 Corinthians 6:19). Did you know that your body isn’t yours? It belongs to Jesus Christ; you were bought with a price. The Bible says, “…therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s” (1 […]
YOU’RE GOD’S VOICE TO YOUR GENERATION
And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the Gospel to every creature (Mark 16:15). The responsibility for preaching the Gospel today rests with us. Those who came before us fulfilled their part and completed their assignments. The Apostle Paul, for example, declared at the end of his ministry, “I have […]
THE POWER IS IN THE GOSPEL
For I am not ashamed of the Gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth… (Romans 1:16). The Gospel of Jesus Christ is a marvellous message, extraordinary, not only for what it says but for what it does. The Bible declares that it is the power […]
UNDERSTAND THE CONTEXT
Verily I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven (Matthew 18:18). In the Scriptures, it’s important to understand the context in which certain statements are made. Sometimes the same words are used in different passages but […]
WALKING IN THE SPIRIT IS THE ANSWER
Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh (Galatians 5:16). The solution to the challenges associated with the flesh, the world, and temptation is heeding the definitive instruction from the Word of God to walk in the Spirit. From some of our earlier studies, we observed that the flesh […]
