God’s Word for Today - 10 Aug 2024
Ephesians 6:12 KJV — 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.
Reflection on God’s Word for Today - 10 Aug 2024
The Bible is crystal clear when it comes to who our enemy is and how we should engage the enemy forces in warfare. The Holy Spirit, through the writings of the Apostles lets us know who is not our enemy. And Jesus commands that we should pray for those our neighbours, relatives, colleagues at work and the likes that we perceive to be our enemies and bless them. We are also made to understand that we are engaged in a spiritual war, so we must deploy spiritual arsenal to prosecute the war. It is quite sad to see many followers of Christ doing the exact opposite of what the Bible teaches them. Many wastefully target their spiritual weapons on people instead of on the power operating in those people. No wonder they don’t get the results they expect, become frustrated, exasperated and start to doubt God. Don’t be like them, learn to abide in the truth of Christ.
Pray: O Lord God help me to understand the art of biblical warfare and make me a conquering warrior in Christ. #Mok
