Walk in Love 2

“Marvel not, my brethren, if the world hate you.” 1 John 3:13(KJV). From our opening scripture, the word of God is telling you today not to be surprised if the world hates you. The world hates you because they are in darkness. 1 John 3:14 says, “We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love the brethren. He that loveth not his brother abideth in death.” The reason why death has had dominion over a lot of persons is because of hatred and bitterness in their hearts. Living with hatred and bitterness in your heart will open...

Walk in love 1.

“He that loveth his brother abideth in the light, and there is none occasion of stumbling in him. But he that hateth his brother is in darkness, and walketh in darkness, and knoweth not whither he goeth, because that darkness hath blinded his eyes.” 1 John 2:10-11(KJV).  From our opening scripture, we can see that if you as a born again child of God refuses to walk in love with your brother in Christ and you choose to live in unforgiveness and bitterness, you will abide in darkness. So, living in unforgiveness can keep you under the oppression...

Guard your heart

 “For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he: …”  Proverbs 23:7(KJV) The real warfare in spiritual warfare takes place in your mind. And if the devil is going to get access into your home or into your life, he will first of all get access into your mind. Your mind is the doorway into your life. Your mind is the gatekeeper of your life. To guard your mind is to guard your life. If you are able to guard your mind from the lies and error of satan in our world today, you will reign and win in life. This is why the accurate teaching of the...

Know your enemy

“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(KJV) One of the keys to victory in warfare is to know who your real enemy is. So from our opening scripture, we see that we do not wrestle with flesh and blood. Most times when people carry out spiritual warfare, their target most of the time is human beings. But the truth is this; if you can fix the devil, you can fix the people who...

Renew your Mind

“And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.” Romans 12:2(KJV) Do you know that one of the most important times in a Church  service is the time when the Word of God is being ministered? This is because the Word of God is what will transform your life because it will renew your thinking. And when you begin to think differently, you will then be able to relate with God rightly.

Don't Practice error

“The reply of Jesus was, "You are in error, through ignorance of the Scriptures and of the power of God.” Matthew 22:29(WNT) The first step toward error is stepping away from the Word of God. It is important you know this because a lot of Christians are trying to carry out spiritual warfare by using physical weapons because they are ignorant of the Word of God. The Bible says in 2 Corinthians 10:3-4, “For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the...

Don't give strife room in your heart

“Who is a wise man and endued with knowledge among you? let him shew out of a good conversation his works with meekness of wisdom. But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth. This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish.”   James 3:13-15(KJV) When you have bitterness and envying in your heart, it will open your heart to the wrong kind of wisdom. There are three words used to describe the wrong kind of wisdom in our opening scripture. This wrong kind of wisdom...

PUT AWAY ENVY AND STRIFE

“For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work.” James 3:16(KJV) From our opening scripture, the Word of God is letting us know some of the devices of the devil. And He says, “… where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work.” Therefore, you must get rid of all envy and strife from your life. A lot of married couples do not know that when they quarrel with each other, that strife between them becomes an open door for satan to enter that home.  This is because, “… where envying and strife is,...

Abide in the Truth

“Now the snake was the most cunning animal that the LORD God had made… The snake replied, "That's not true; you will not die. God said that because he knows that when you eat it, you will be like God and know what is good and what is bad."  Genesis 3:1, 4-5(GNB) I want you to know that it was satan who spoke through the snake to the woman in our opening scripture. We know this because satan is always rebellious against the word of God. He loves to question the integrity of the word of God, and by so doing, corrupt the heart of his prey with...

Don't be ignorant

“Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices.”                            2 Corinthians 2:11(KJV) The strength of the oppressor is the ignorance of the oppressed. Therefore, since we are not ignorant of satan's devices, he cannot take advantage of us. So to be ignorant is to be vulnerable. Therefore, you are going to be vulnerable to satan in the area of your life where you are ignorant of the Word of God. Being vulnerable to satan means...

How to war a good warfare

“This charge I commit unto thee, son Timothy, according to the prophecies which went before on thee, that thou by them mightest war a good warfare” 1 Timothy 1:18(KJV) When we are warring a good warfare, it means that we are able to war effectively and be able to get the victory in our battles. This is important because it is not everyone that is getting victory in their lives, so they need to know how to war a good war. Therefore, we see Paul instructing Timothy his son in the faith in our opening scripture on how to war a good warfare with...

Get right with God.

“And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.”  Ephesians 6:11(KJV) As a child of God, you must not continue to participate in the unfruitful works of darkness because every time you step away from the truth of God's word, you enter into satan's realm. So if the concept you are holding about life is not consistent with the Word of God, you are actually dealing with the concept of satan. For instance, a Christian may be praying for success or breakthrough, but yet his lifestyle or character contradicts...

Resist satan's wiles.

“Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.” Ephesians 6:11(KJV) From our opening scripture, we see that the armour that we are to put on when engaging in spiritual warfare is God's armour. The word 'wiles' is from the Greek word 'methodeia.' This means travesty or trickery. The Bible also lets us know that when we put on God's armour, then we will be able to stand against all the wiles(methods, trickery, strategies, lies, deceit) of the devil. This shows you that satan's weapon is deceit. 2...

God cares for you 2

“Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time: Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.” 1 Peter 5:6-7(KJV) A lot of people are not humble because they do not believe that God cares about them. Some of them believe that God takes time, so they manipulate their own way in other for them to get where they want to get to or whatever they want quicker. I want you to know today that you don't have to compromise your faith in your heavenly Father's love and commitment to you. Know that when...

God cares about you 1.

“But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.” 2 Corinthians 11:3(KJV) It is clear to us from our opening scripture that those who are being deceived by satan have their minds corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ. So, when you are ignorant of satan's devices according to the word of God, you become susceptible to your mind being corrupted by the craftiness of satan from the simplicity that is in Christ.   The word simplicity...

Empowered for all things

“I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.” Philippians 4:13(KJV)  From our opening scripture, the Bible is telling us that we can do all things through Christ which empowers us. This means you should live your life every day conscious of the reality that you have been empowered by Christ for all things.

Give no place to the devil.

“Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath: Neither give place to the devil.” Ephesians 4:26-27(KJV) From our opening scripture, we can see that through anger, the devil can gain influence over the life of a Christian because anger can give place to the devil in our lives. The word place in this verse is from the Greek word 'topos' meaning, 'license' or 'opportunity'. So, don't give the enemy license into your life by keeping anger. If you are angry with others and you remain angry for months, that anger will develop into...

Be strong in the Lord

In other words, the Bible is saying to us, be empowered, enabled and strengthened in the Lord. The Word 'power' in our opening scripture is from the Greek word 'kratos' which means,  vigor, dominion and force of His might. I want you to know that the strength that gives us victory in spiritual...

Give no place to deception.

“But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed.”  James 1:14(KJV) Satan's strength is in deception. When satan came to Eve in the garden of Eden, he did not force her to eat the fruit which God forbade them to eat. He deceived her by seducing her and luring her to eat the fruit. Eve fell to satan's deception because, the deception sown into her heart made her doubt the sincerity of God's Word. And whenever you doubt the sincerity of the Word of God, you become vulnerable to temptation.       For...

That will no more be your experience because the Bible says,...

DONT BELIEVE A LIE

“Destruction has overtaken my people because they have no knowledge …” Hosea 4:6(BBE) Demonic oppression begins with error in reasoning. Before an individual is oppressed by demons, he or she must have believed the wrong doctrine. For instance, I want you to think back, when you were a little child, when you were told frightening stories, you began to have fears in that area because you believed the stories that you were told. So when you went to sleep, you began to have nightmares because of the horrible stories that have been sown into your...

Therefore, you need to become aware of your deliverance, and know that satan has no claim over your soul because the blood of Jesus has been shed. You...

“So mightily grew the word of God and prevailed.” Acts 19:20(KJV) Do you know that now in America, it has been said that there is an increase in violence among the youths because of the violence in the music and the movies that they listen to and watch.  This is why we need to take over the air waves and get the message of the gospel on radio, on television, on the internet, and the print media so that we can influence the minds of people with the gospel. By so doing we will be able to change our world by changing how they think. Do you...

A very present help in trouble.

It comes to the rich and the poor, the strong and the weak, the educated and the illiterate. So it is important for you to know what to do in the evil day. You may be going through an evil day right now, not knowing what you are supposed to do.

“Grace be to you and peace from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ, Who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from this present evil world, according to the will of God and our Father:” Galatians 1:3-4(KJV).   Notice from our opening scripture, that Jesus gave Himself for our sins that He might deliver us from this present evil world. So, this lets us know that this present world is evil, but the truth is that Jesus Christ has died on the cross to deliver us from this present evil world. That means that the death...
