WE WRESTLE NOT AGAINST FLESH AND BLOOD

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. UNDERSTANDING ETERNITY WEDNESDAY MAY 10 TEXT: Psalm 90: 1 - 2 Key Verse: “The Lord is King forever and ever: the heathen are perished out of his land Psalm 10:16 People that understand eternity are always careful. Eternity means forever and ever, it means ever-lasting, ever-living, never dying. Trillion upon trillion years, eternity is still on, in fact it is life without end. There are two extreme ends of eternity: The kingdom of God called third heaven where God the Father, God the son, God the Holy Ghost, twenty-four elders, saints of God that make heaven, holy angels of God, and entire host of heaven dwell now presently; Hell-fire, where Satan, demons, and sinners that have died in their sins are presently kept. God is the One that introduced eternity. He lives forever. It is not a choice, the One who created us is forever, hence you will live forever, but what matters is where you will live eternally. Remove God from the way, then t...

Pastor Paul Rika’s Burden, Vision and Action To Reach the Unreached (2)

God's blessings will continually accompany you for dedicating time to your studies. Pastor Paul Rika’s Burden, Vision and Action To Reach the Unreached (2) Wednesday 15th October TEXT: Titus 3: 3-6   Key verse: Titus 3: 6 “Which He shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Savior.” I remember I was in Sao Tome and Principe as a deeper life national overseer and I was writing the book, “Divine Revelation of God’s Holiness and Judgment.” The vision the Lord gave to Michael Sambo. I was translating it into a book, with the scriptural backups to make it a sound evangelistic book. I saw that truly the world is doomed. What will I say about those who have not known Jesus among the 7 billion people on earth; those who do not even have anything to do with Him? Do I speak of the billions in Asia without understanding of Jesus? Out of the 1.4 billion in India, they are struggling to record 150 million Christians including Catholics.  Who knows Jesus then? Even among Pentecosta...
