God's blessings shall follow you for taking the time to study.

TOPIC: WE WRESTLE NOT AGAINST FLESH AND BLOOD

TEXT: EPHESIANS 6:10-18  

WEDNESDAY DECEMBER 20TH

Key verse: Matthew 5: 44 But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you. 
Our actual enemies are Satan and his demonic authorities, which we must seek to overcome and destroy through prayer, the word of God, the name of Jesus, and the use of all spiritual weapons and techniques given to us in the scriptures. God has instructed us to leave vengeance to Him. He has promised to handle our enemies.  Our duty is to pray for them and cast all our pains upon Him. There are some among our enemies that God will grant repentance, conversion, and deliverance through our prayers, just as the prayers of others saved us. There are some that He will judge with plagues while He may take away the lives of others. The prerogative is His. 
The scriptural prayers of the early church led to the conversion of their great persecutor, Saul of Tarsus, who later became the great apostle Paul. If they were not guided by the word of God in their prayer, they would have released the satanic spirit of death upon Paul when he was in the camp of the enemy. Similarly, their scriptural prayers led to the death of their great enemy Herod, by divine prerogative. They were not guilty of his death because they did not pray for it. The Scripture shows us clearly how our prayer and action should be towards our human enemies and persecutors. 
Satan is the one who answers unscriptural prayers and decrees of ignorant and so-called believers. They shall share with Satan in the judgment of God. Our human enemies employed by Satan against us are his captives who also desire to be delivered from his power. We who are believers today, enjoying Christ's liberty, were once under satanic captivity one way or the other. Christ came to set the captives free and not to destroy them. We are empowered to set human captives of Satan free and not to destroy them. 

Thought for the day: We are empowered to set captives of Satan free not to kill them.

Song for the day: My hands are blessed, with the blessings of God…

Bible reading for the day: Micah 4-5; Revelation 11

For taking your time to study remain blessed. August Tuesday 27th TOPIC: CORRECT WATER BAPTISM TEXT: Mark 16:15-16 KEY VERSE: Matthew 28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. The believer requires water baptism. The baptism that Jesus commanded is in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. It is done by immersion in water because the three Persons are One. In Acts of the Apostles, the people were baptizing in the name of Jesus. They used the phrase “in the name of Jesus” to indicate that the baptism was carried out as authorized by Jesus, and the baptism authorized by Jesus is that which is done in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. It is not to say that they dip people in water and say, “I baptize you in the name of Jesus.” The name of Jesus cannot represent the Godhead. The Father is not Jesus, the Holy Spirit is not Jesus, Jesus is God who be
