It's Warfare And Not a Joke

Hi everyone,

When I looked at the world, I saw its state of decay and the intense need for transformation. Then I remembered 2 Timothy 6:12 which says, “Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, to which you were also called and have confessed the good confession in the presence of many witnesses.” Fighting for a just cause by holding on to what you believe as a child of God is very important. When you don’t live the life of Grace through faith in Jesus Christ, you could be overwhelmed by the ways of the world, and this is what the devil is really doing.

Our focus on Jesus is the most important thing in our life because by doing so, we are strengthened by faith, we grow up in Christ, and we become Jesus because we are not distracted by the devil.

Proverbs 4:23 says, “Keep your heart with all diligence, for out of it spring the issues of life.” We are to watch what comes into our thoughts because the devil intends to pollute our minds with junks by shifting our focus off Jesus. To prevent that, we are to praise and worship God at all times, when we do that, our focus in on God and not ourselves, and the devil cannot intrude. Also, we are to meditate on the Word of God day and night as though our lives depend on it. We are to look for Jesus as we search through the scriptures. As we do that often, our minds get transformed, and we allow the fullness of Christ to physically manifest in our lives, as our thought pattern is focused on Jesus and nothing else, and in Jesus, we have all things.

We are not to luke-warm children of God as we are in a battle. We are to fix our minds on Jesus which would enable us to shut out every worldly thought planned by the devil, it’s warfare and not a joke (ref.: Ephesians 6:12). And as we keep growing, we are to strengthen others also, until we win the entire world for Jesus, thereby bringing the world from bondage to the true life.

May the LORD bless you and keep you, make His face shine upon you. May the LORD be gracious to you and lift up His countenance upon you, and give you peace. AMEN.

                    

Why not accept Jesus today if you haven’t. Pray out loud, “Jesus, I confess that You are my Lord and Saviour. I believe in my heart that God raised You from the dead. By faith in Your Word, I receive salvation now. Thank You for saving me!” Congratulations, you’re born again, you are now brand new!
