Walk with caution today. Every Christian is an enlisted soldier in the army of the Lord. Once you surrender your life to Christ, you automatically become a child and a soldier of God. This puts you in opposition to Satan. You become his enemy. You become a target. It is here that most of your spiritual warfare starts. A Christian washed in the blood of the Lord Jesus Christ and filled with His Spirit as God takes habitation in his life, is a great threat to the devil. He must be fought and weakened so not to advance the kingdom of God. He will be encompassed by cunning and deceptive schemes that aim to lure him into failure and defeat. Press on.
Follow God’s orders today. If you are a Christian, you are involved in a spiritual war. Your enemy does not care whether you are weak or afraid. He is fighting and so you must fight too. Don’t succumb to defeat. Listen to God’s Word for you today, “Be not afraid! Remember the Lord which is great and terrible, and fight for your brethren, your sons, and your daughter, and your wives, and your houses.” (Nehemiah 4:14) It is time to return unto the Lord and be healed. God has the power to heal and restore you to victory. There is no Christian who has followed God’s orders of war and failed at any time.
Don’t leave your blessings to the devil. For many Christians, once spiritual warfare is presented, there is an automatic shying away. “This is too dangerous a place to fool with. Avoid it at all costs!” That is the hearer’s default caution. This is because spiritual warfare is presented by many as a mysterious occult world. This blinds the Christian from identifying practical spiritual warfare facing him each day in his own life, family, work place, and church. We fail to guard the enemy’s invasion points and instead of actively staying on the offensive, we find ourselves on the run with the devil in constant pursuit. Christians have a war to fight. Though we are not fighting flesh and blood, our war is as real as the Second World War. Fight for your families, your children, and your homes today.
Satan endeavors to gain quick control of God’s army. He throws massive bomb shells of accusation which plague the conscience. With increasing guilt, the child of God is left fearful and unable to even pray or draw fresh resources from the Word of God. With Satan having secured the main communication channels between God and His child, one does not have reserves from which to draw or sufficient supplies to depend on each day in order to fight back in this warfare. Don’t fall for Satan’s lies today. Take time and pray today.
