Deeper Truth about Warfare [77 Great Revelation to Spiritual Authority] - 2
The hard truth about life
Life is a battle. We
fight to possess our possession. I hope you understand the point. You can own
something. However, you must fight to maintain it. Failure to fight and possess
what belongs to you will open the portal for wicked people to hijack your
possessions.
First of all, fighting
for what belongs to you is illogical because it is yours. However, you must
fight to possess your assets because wicked people will illegally take what
belongs to you if you don’t fight for it.
You must defend what
belongs to you because that is the law of life. The strong dominates the weak.
In the animal kingdom, the stronger and larger ones feed on the weaker and
little ones. One hard truth about life is that we live in an animal world. Wickedness
dominates a significant part of the world.
Even those who claim to
live a free and happy life have experienced wickedness. The sad truth about
life is that the wicked controls most world assets. We live in a dark world
full of evil people. You cannot trust anyone with all your heart. Doing that
places a curse on you.
Thus saith the LORD; Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and
maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the LORD.
For he shall be like the heath in the desert, and shall not see when
good cometh; but shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness, in
a salt land and not inhabited.
Jeremiah 17:5-6 KJV
You come under the curse
of God if you put all your trust in humankind and ignore the Lord. Sadly, many
people live at the mercy of wicked people. Talk of the leadership in most poor
countries.
Most of these leaders
know the problems of the economy. They know how to fix the economy. However,
wickedness has dominated the system. Wickedness has infiltrated the system to
the extent that people see good as evil and evil as good.
Today, some people
advocate lesbianism, homosexuality, abortion, sexual immorality, bestiality, transsexuality,
transgender, and grave evils under the guise of human rights. Evil has risen to
the extent that we see nothing wrong with it.
It doesn’t matter how
great something is if the Holy Bible condemns the act as evil; it is evil. We
must understand that war is rising. Those in the dark kingdom will oppose the Kingdom
of light. It is at this point that we must wage war.
Fight the holy fight.
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
We have holy and unholy
warfare. We must fight the holy war. In the previous article, I enumerated three
types of warfare. Kindly read that article for a more profound
revelation. We cannot ignore some battles because ignoring them will allow the
wicked to dominate.
When the wicked rules,
corruption increases (meditate on Proverbs 29:2). I marvel when some Christian
believers disregard warfare. The Christian faith is a battlefield. We must wage
war because some enemies desire to stop and destroy us at all costs (meditate
on John 10:10). We cannot be silent and allow the wicked to dominate the
system.
I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have
kept the faith:
Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the
Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but
unto all them also that love his appearing.
2 Timothy 4:7-8 KJV
Apostle Paul declared
that he had fought the good fight. This means there are good battles and evil
battles. Do not sit silent because some enemies do not bow without a fight. The
devil and his cohorts are extremely rebellious!
They are unfair in their
dealings! Failure to wage war against the enemy and his minions will empower
them to depress, suppress, oppress, and possess you. We must fight! I encourage
you to download and read my series of books on spiritual warfare.
The books are free on my
blog and youtube channel. War is part of life. You don’t have to offend someone
to attract a fight. You can be the nicest person in the world. However, you
will have enemies.
Living a godly life can
reduce the number of enemies. However, you must understand that this world is a
battleground. The warfare continues until Christ Jesus wipes Satan and his
cohorts out of the world.
Don’t let anyone deceive
you that surrendering your life to Christ Jesus exempts you from warfare. Surrendering
your life to Christ Jesus can guarantee some protection. Surrendering your life
to Christ Jesus is the most important decision to make. However, you have a
role to play to sustain your blessings. You must fight for what belongs to you,
or someone else will enjoy your blessings.
Many adversaries!
For a great door and effectual is opened unto me, and there are
many adversaries.
1 Corinthians 16:9 KJV
Many people struggle to feed their families daily because of poverty.
If you examine the root cause of poverty, you will realize that enemies are behind the scenes. There are places we must enter, assets we must possess, opportunities we must enjoy, and great treasures we
must possess to make life easy.
However, wicked people and unclean forces have hijacked these
blessings. As Paul wrote, there are great doors that lead to peace, joy,
wealth, and power. However, enemies have blocked the doors. Many people live in
pain because the ones supposed to unlock the doors of joy have closed the
doors.
We must fight to possess what belongs to us because some enemies don’t
understand gentility. They submit to warfare. The Holy Bible states that humankind's heart is deceitful and desperately wicked.
Don’t be deceived by people’s facial expressions because some people
can fake love. You must know the principle of warfare. I am not writing this
article to make you cynical. However, I am writing this article to make you
wise.
If Abel knew that Cain had planned to kill him, he would have applied
wisdom in his relationship with his brother. Cain and Abel were siblings. They
came from the same parents. However, Cain killed Abel in cold blood.
The enemy is near you
…a man's foes shall be they of his own
household.
Matthew 10:36 KJV
Christ Jesus stated that the one closest to us can be our greatest
enemy. Don’t act like a child and think everybody likes and loves you. The fact
that everyone smiles at you does not mean everyone loves you. Apply wisdom
before you fall into the hands of the wicked.
We cannot put all our trust in humankind because the Holy Bible declares
it (see Jeremiah 17:5-6). Apostle Peter promised that he would follow Christ
Jesus everywhere. However, he denied Christ Jesus at the time Christ Jesus
needed him most.
Apostle Peter swore and cursed that he never knew Christ Jesus in the dangerous
season (see Matthew 26:69-75). Apostle Judas Iscariot, one of Christ Jesus'
disciples in charge of finances, betrayed Christ Jesus because of money.
Delilah, Samson’s lover, betrayed Samon for money. David murdered an
innocent man because of a woman. Jezebel killed Naboth because her husband,
Ahab, wanted Naboth’s land. Remember, Ahab was king of Israel. Ahab had
numerous lands!
However, Naboth died because Ahab needed his land. This is wickedness! I
encourage you to download and read my book, The Mysteries of Household Enemies, for a more profound revelation.
Life is war. You must fight because it’s mandatory. Thousands of
children lost their lives because of Christ Jesus’ and Moses' birth. The kings
at that time wanted to see Christ Jesus and Moses dead. Because of that, they
had to kill thousands of innocent children.
This is wickedness to the highest degree! Doeg killed over eighty
priests to satisfy the demand of a wicked king (Saul). That’s wickedness. You
can check out this youtube channel (True Crime Daniel channel) for more
modern cases.
The heart is deceitful.
The heart is deceitful
above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?
Jeremiah
17:9 KJV
Warfare is necessary
because we don’t know the hearts of people. It takes the Holy Spirit to help us
know the heart of humankind. The fact that people can be wicked does not mean
everyone is wicked.
Do not think and act that
way. There are righteous people with good intentions. However, there are wicked
people, too. You must wage war because you cannot win without dominating these
evil souls and spirits.
I encourage you to
download and read my books on spiritual warfare for a more profound revelation. The books
are free on my youtube channel and blog. Without wasting much time, let me
share some keys to deploy in the season of warfare. Become a blessing by sharing the link to this article.
Ten keys to victory in warfare
I will use the Holy
Scripture to help you uncover the keys of spiritual warfare.
Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring
lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:
Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions
are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world.
1 Peter 5:8-9 KJV
1. The soberness key
There are some enemies
you cannot dominate if you are not sober. To be sober means, you must be
sensible and discreet. Be temperate and know how to control your emotions. One
of the ways to stay sober is to abstain from alcoholic beverages and illegal
drugs.
Alcohol and hard drugs
can make you act abnormally because of the harmful chemicals (ingredients) in the
substance. Abstain from alcohol and destructive drugs because they can empower
the enemy to attack. Knowing how to control your desires, actions, and emotions
is key to victory.
Remember, Apostle Peter
stated that we must be sober when the enemy approaches us. Some enemies are
deceptive and wise. You need the key of soberness to conquer them. Most often,
these enemies do something to irritate you.
These enemies can set a
trap for you. Most often, they intentionally offend you. Negatively responding
to the offense gives them license to attack. Learn to stay calm when enemies
attack because that is the key to stopping their attack.
Keep silent. Don’t
respond to the enemy’s insults and gossip. Keep calm and concentrate on
important things. They will not conquer you if you control your emotions and
actions. You will triumph over the enemy’s traps when you keep yourself. I don’t
have time for certain enemies.
Wasting your time,
energy, and resources on certain enemies makes you vulnerable. However, acting
like a corpse in the presence of these enemies gives you power. When you walk
in the path of Christ Jesus, you will win. I occasionally use this key because
it works. Keep yourself. The enemy will not get you.
2. The vigilance key
Another key from the book
of First Peter, chapter five, verse eight, is the principle of vigilance. Some
enemies work with time and seasons. For instance, the enemy often works in the
midnight hour.
…while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and
went his way.
Matthew 13:25 KJV
Rise and pray at midnight
because it’s the season of war. By God’s grace, I pray almost every midnight.
It has become part of my life. I encourage you to download and read my book, 77 Strategic Models of Prayer, for a more profound revelation.
The book is free on my
blog and YouTube channel. Midnight is the season of watchfulness, deliverance, and power. Failure to pray in the middle of the night allows wicked
people and evil spirits to attack.
The enemy often projects
evil dreams to attack when we are asleep. While people are asleep, use that
time to pray. Sleep early so you can rise in the midnight to pray. I encourage
you to download and read my book, 1001 Divine Principles of Spiritual Warfare, for a more profound revelation.
The book is free on my youtube channel and blog.
3. The steadfastness and faith key
Faith is an unstoppable
weapon in warfare (see 1 Peter 5:8-9). It breaks the enemy’s walls. Faith is a
spiritual currency. You need it in warfare. To dominate the enemy, you must act
strong. You must resist the enemy with all your strength (faith).
Put away fear because
fear is the greatest weapon of the enemy. Fear makes us vulnerable to the
attacks of the enemy. Anytime we allow fear to dominate, our faith dies. When
the enemy sees fear and discerns that our faith has fallen, it starts
projecting evil arrows (death, pain, strange dreams, depression, confusion,
diseases, hopelessness, hatred, jealousy, unforgiveness, and grave evils).
Train your spirit to break
the enemy’s traps. I encourage you to download and read my books, How to Grow in the Realms
of the Spirit, How to Train the Human
spirit, and Spiritual Seeds for Growth, for a more profound
revelation. The books are free on my blog and youtube channel. Be bold and
courageous if you want to win the battle. Meditate on these Holy Scriptures for
a more profound revelation.
For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of
love, and of a sound mind.
2 Timothy 1:7 KJV
Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is
willing, but the flesh is weak.
Matthew 26:41 KJV
4. The fighting spirit key
If after the manner of men I have fought with beasts at Ephesus, what
advantageth it me, if the dead rise not? let us eat and drink; for to morrow
we die.
1 Corinthians 15:32 KJV
Apostle Paul would not
have completed his assignment if he did not fight (see 1 Timothy 1:18, 2
Timothy 4:7-8). Paul fought wolves in sheep's clothing in the ministry. He
fought with beasts, wolves, and serpents to become successful in the ministry.
The wolves, serpents, and beasts are wicked people and unclean spirits. You
cannot be gentle every time. There is a time to fight!
To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose
under the heaven:
Ecclesiastes 3:1 KJV
A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.
Ecclesiastes 3:8 KJV
Keeping silent in the season of war is to your disadvantage. This key may contradict the first principle (the soberness key). However, it does not. Apply wisdom. When the season of war comes, fight on your knees! Know when to face the enemy and when to keep silent. Know when to stay quiet and when to fight!
