WARFARE IS NECESSARY

source
What you don’t confront you can’t conquer, in your labour today lies in your future tomorrow. After warfare is freedom. Challenges is biblical but failure to overcome it is not biblical. Since Jesus was tempted who are we that we cannot be tempted. Since Jesus passed the temptation excellently, we are also expected to pass excellently. Once you passed your challenges or temptation we you are already upgraded to the next level of life. The problem is we don’t want to experience any challenges whereas we are already into it. Since you are in this Earth and you are child of God, you can not be exception from challenges. We are meant to face challenges and overcome it by Jesus Christ. Jesus did not assured us that we will not be challenged. He said you will have challenges but I have overcome for you. Ephesians 6:12 says “ we wrestle not against flesh and blood but against principalities, against power, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, and against the spiritual wickedness in high places- the battle I s no physical, is not blood and flesh, the battlefield is within, “I mean your heart is the battlefield. If our warfare is canal we will need bomb, gun, Cutlass and other weapons to fight. Warfare is fighting spiritual being, I mean principalities, power, rulers of the darkness in this world, spiritual wickedness in high places over our breakthrough in all ramifications of our life such as finances, marriage, carrier, promotion, health and so on. You don’t need to Jim before you fighting warfare, we fight spiritual being by using spiritual methods since you cannot see them with our physical eyes.
Jeremiah 51:20- thou art my battle axe and the weapons of my war: for with thee will I break in pieces the nations, with thee will I destroy kingdoms.- the reason many of us are weak is because we are not armed, we are supposed to be battleaxes in the hand of God, when we are armed, we will not fight against people. If we are strong spiritually our love becomes protection against the unfaithfulness of the adversary. We are to battle spiritual entities that causes crisis, tension, disappointment and failure in our marriage, carrier, spiritual life, business and promotion. We are not suppose to fight against people, when you are doing this you are fighting blood and flesh and you are fighting the wrong battle. When you begin to speak against your neighbor because of your ordeal or because someone tells you that is behind your calamity, you are fighting the wrong battle. When you started keeping malice because you have dream that your neighbor is behind your calamity, you are fighting the wrong battle. Even though she’s the one or not you don’t need to keep malice or fighting against him/her, if you are doing this, you are fighting flesh and blood. What you need to do is fighting against his/her spirit by prayer and fasting with the word of God. Some of us, if not because of affliction we will not know Jesus. We will not come to the light of God. Afflictions, trials are meant to strengthen us, maintain our union with God. The 430 years afflictions in Egypt results to indwelling of Israel in the land that flows with milk and honey. The Bible says “ be strong in the Lord “ therefore, be strong for service, fighting, be strong to take what belongs to you, be strong to take your liberty. We have enemies to fight against, a captain to fight for, a banner to fight under. Your enemies is not in flesh or blood, your enemies is not your brothers, neighbors. Your neighbor could be someone who hates you or it could be someone who loves you, the physical bodies you are seeing are not your enemies. Apply yourself to your duties as Christian solders.
2 Corinthians 10:4-5: For the weapons of our warfare are not canal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds. Casting down all imagination and every high things that exalted against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ.
BASIC WEAPONS TO FIGHT WARFARE

1. The sword of the spirit: the sword of the spirit is the word of God Ephesians 6:17- and take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the spirit which is the word of God. The basic weapon to fight spiritual beings is the word of God. When devil tempted Jesus, Jesus used the word of God to overcame devil- your physique cannot scared devil and cannot moved him but the word of God from your mouth and rooted in your spirit can make devil and every challenge you are facing trembled and rolled away. Jeremiah 23:29-is not my would like fire? Said the Lord; and like hammer that breaketh rock into pieces? The word of God is rooted and grounded in your spirit by consistent reading and ACTIVE MEDITATION of the word in your heart. Memorizing the word of God is good but heartly reading and active meditation is the best because it lunches you to the realm of revelation immediately without delay and break some barriers and destroy mountains. The reason you should not only memorized it but active meditation and heartly reading is that anytime the holy Spirit want to use the word, holy spirit picks it in your spirit not in your memory. “ Man's heart is man's spirit.” When the word is grounded in your spirit, you will know in both physical and spiritual realms. Roman 8:16- the spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God. And again you will become stronger in the realm of spirit, this is when evil people come to you in the dream and you speak the word of God or something came and helped you in the dream. This is when they will no longer pursuing you in dream but you start pursuing them. I want you to pray this prayers before we continue; LORD JESUS, endure me afresh with the consistent reading and active meditation of your word that we exposed me to my world. LORD JESUS, let my spirit be rooted and grounded in your word resulting to supernatural turnaround testimonies.
2. Prayer and fasting: fasting is a platform for the outbreak of revelation. Daniel 10:2-3; in those days, I Daniel was morning for 3 full weeks. I ate no pleasant bread, neither came flesh nor wine in my mouth, neither did I anoint myself at all, till three whole weeks were fulfilled. From verses 4 downward, revelation broke out. I Daniel was left alone- prayer and fasting is a platform for one man ever winning army. Daniel 10:7-8; it was only Daniel that saw the vision even though Daniel was not alone. Elijah prayed and the whole nation turned to God. Prayer and fasting is a platform for the rising of army of giant. Daniel 1:8-12; at the end of ten days Daniel and his friends were better than all. Matthew 17:21- Jesus fasted for fourty days, who was known as carpenter son became the saviour of the world. Keep note of this, it is prayer that gives value to fasting, fasting without prayer is just mere a religious hunger strike. Fasting without the word is merely feeding yourself without reached food. As adequate taking-in of diet is good for our physical body, so also reading the word of God is also balance diet to our inner man. Which is “man’s spirit”, feeding on the word also energies you why fasting, we also build our faith through genuine labour in the word. Rom10:17- faith cometh by hearing and hearing the word of God. Therefore, faith is the product of labour in the word. Fasting destroyed every yoke of bondage. Isaiah 58:6- is not the fast that I have chosen? To loose the bands of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, and to let oppressed go free, and that you break every yoke. Any area of life you have been afflicted, locate the right word from the scripture and back it up. If it seems that God did not answer you, never give up, look for another day and fast. Since the answer is not yet delivered unto you never give up, even though you have seen it or God have shown you in revelation never give up, don’t give up because revelation requires force of prayer and fasting to be manifested physically.
3. Use the weapons of Testimony: 1 Samuel 17:33-37, verses 37 says “David said moreover, the Lord that delivered me out of the paw of the lion, and out of the paw of the bear, he will deliver me out of the hand of this Philippine. And Saul said unto David, go, and the Lord be with you. Just like David, you can use the weapon of Testimony. When you are facing difficult situations that seems there is no hope, no future, remember, you should learn how to use the weapon of Testimony and confession of what the Lord has done in the past, remember difficult situation that God has scape you through, the accident, failure trial sickness stagnation and use it as a weapon. Father you have done this before and I am sure you will do it again. Father, you have done it in the life of Daniel, David, jabesh and I know you can never fail, do it in my life because scripture cannot be broken.
