TOPIC: THE WEAPON OF OUR WARFARE (PART 1)

Every victory recorded in life came after a contest or battle. Everyone that is born again is automatically at war with the devil. The truth and good news is that God empowers every of His children with adequate weapons for victory. But it is not every time that believers use their weapons and so make them vulnerable to antics and defeat by the devil. Reason for this could be ignorant or nonchalant attitude.

The battle we face goes beyond the physical and that is why Apostle Paul clarified the weapons we should carry as soldiers of Christ. 2 Cor. 10:3-5 says “It is true that we live in the world, but we do not fight from worldly motives. The weapons we use in our fight are not the world's weapons but God's powerful weapons, which we use to destroy strongholds. We destroy false arguments; we pull down every proud obstacle that is raised against the knowledge of God; we take every thought captive and make it obey Christ”. (GNB).

One of the weapons of warfare given to believers is the word of God. The spoken word of God is so potent that devil and his cohorts cannot withstand it. When our Lord Jesus Christ came in human form to redeem us. The devil quickly engaged Him with temptation to thwart the plan of God for you and me. Jesus defeated him by quoting the word of God.

People of God, you must be versed in the word of God to equip yourself against the day the devil will engage you in battle. You cannot not fight the devil with gun or any sophisticated weapon but rather with the weapon of the word. Victory in battle hinges on suitable weapons. The devil has not changed his style. He comes to deceive you and make you doubt what you know about God but if you are sound in your knowledge of God through His word you will be strong enough for victory.
The victory of David over Goliath in First Samuel chapter seventeen was not ordinary. David, a small boy with a sling a stone defeated the best soldier of Philistine who carried the best military weapons of his time.

The victory of David came has a result of the spoken word. “David answered, "You are coming against me with sword, spear, and javelin, but I come against you in the name of the LORD Almighty, the God of the Israelite armies, which you have defied. This very day the LORD will put you in my power; I will defeat you and cut off your head. And I will give the bodies of the Philistine soldiers to the birds and animals to eat. Then the whole world will know that Israel has a God, and everyone here will see that the LORD does not need swords or spears to save his people. He is victorious in battle, and he will put all of you in our power." (1 Sam. 17:45-47. GNB).

People of God I make bold in the Lord today that if you too will speak to Goliaths of your life today you will bring them down. Do not let the special prayer service of last week and today passed you by. Take advantage of the two hours of prayer of today to speak to every battle confronting you and the Almighty God will grant you TOTAL VICTORY IN JESUS NAME. (AMEN)

22 tenets of faith,

OUR TENETS OF FAITH THESE WE BELIEVE (a.k.a. Our Tenets of Faith) Our  belief  is based on core biblical truths we call the  22 tenets of faith , as drafted by Foursquare founder  Aimee Semple McPherson. THE HOLY SCRIPTURES We believe the Bible is God-inspired (2 Timothy 3:16,17). THE ETERNAL GODHEAD We believe God is Triune: Father, Son and Holy Spirit (2 Corinthians 13:14). THE FALL OF MAN We believe that man was created in the image of God, but that by voluntary disobedience he fell from perfection (Romans 5:12). THE PLAN OF SALVATION We believe that while we were yet sinners Christ died for us, signing the pardon of all who believe on Him (John 3:16; Romans 5:8). SALVATION THROUGH GRACE We believe that we have no righteousness and must come to God pleading the righteousness of Christ (Ephesians 2:8). REPENTANCE AND ACCEPTANCE We believe that upon sincere repentance, and a whole-hearted acceptance of Christ, we are justifie...

The unfailing God (Isaiah 40:28-31)

Sunday 3rd September, 2017 Theme: The unfailing God (Isaiah 40:28-31); Topic: restoring the lost Grounds (1 Samuel 30:8; Ezekiel 37:3-5) God is supreme in the universe. His word is final. When He speaks heaven and earth are affected because great number of publishers is attached to the intent of His command or promise according to Psalm 68:11,”The Lord gave the word: great was the company of those that published it”. See also 2 Kings 6:16 where Prophet Elisha assured his servant, “And he answered, Fear not: for they that be with us are more than they that be with them”. Everything in heaven and earth is affected when God speaks. Even Satan is affected because all things must work together for the good of the purpose of our God. Since the word of God cannot be broken, why do we always have some promises lingering for a long time without manifestation? Where do we miss it? The story of Daniel is an eye opener to us. The man of God stood in prayer for 21 days and the Prince of Persia (a...

THEME OF THE YEAR: UNCOMMON REWARD (GEN 15:2) THEME OF THE MONTH: MOVING UNTO VICTORY (EXODUS. 14:13-19; HEB. 6:108) TOPIC: VICTORY OVER CHALLENGES OF LIFE UNDERSTANDING THE HEART INTRODUCTION: Victory over challenges of life is a broad topic. Life in general can be broken into various segments for the purpose of direct application of the word of God. For instance; is it the aspect of marriage? Career? Relationships?

We are particular about the principles of the doctrine of Christ that will help us to address, resolve and survive any areas of life that is experiencing challenges.
