I want to talk about this important topic that really concerns each and everyone one this earth. We are all facing on battle or the other whether big or small.
There are some times when our battle will be less effective while sometimes the battle is very hot.
When I say battle, I do not mean the battle of this life; a battle of a country to another. No.
I am talking of a spiritual battle which everyone is fighting whether you know it or not.
This battle cannot be seen with a physical eye. Battles are inevitable. This one of the things we need to do as a christian to overcome the devil. Since we are on the Lord's side, we are already an overcomer.
The only different between the spiritual warfare of a believer and non-believer is that as a believer, we know that we are not fighting alone. Jesus is fighting our battles for us. Amen.
What is expected of us to do as a christian when the battle is hot
Just because we are Christians does not mean that we are not going to fight any battle. In fact, we are the ones fighting the greatest battle.
Those who are in the world do no have any problem because satan knows that they are on his side. So he is focusing on us that call ourselves a christian. He wants us to lose eternal life since he has already lost it. So by this, he is engaging us in a battle.
Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;
And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;
Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.
And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:
Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints; source of the bible verse
There are sometimes we feel like giving up. That is when the battle is hot. There are so many ways we are facing battles. It might be in growing spiritually, It might be health wisely, financially, it might even be in area of happy home, peace of mind, and so many other ways we are engaging in battles.
Do not give up when it is hot. It means that you are about to conquer. The only thing we can do at that moment is to concentrate on Jesus.
Yes, concentrate on Jesus. Most people will find this difficult because they will want to face that problem and to find a solution to it. But I want you to know that the only solution to such problems is Jesus.
When the battle is hot, pray, hold on to your faith, preserver, relent on God's power and be righteous.
These things are very important to overcome the battle.
How do you put on the whole armor of God?
It isn’t as difficult as you might think. All the pieces of the armor are found in a relationship with Jesus. Paul said it like this: “Put on the Lord Jesus Christ” (Romans 13:14). When you give yourself to Jesus and “put on” His righteousness, you are clothed in the whole armor of God.
Do you sometimes feel weak? Do you find yourself giving in to temptation when you really want to overcome? Are you ever discouraged? We all face these moments. But clothed in the whole armor God, the weakest of His children is more than a match for Satan. In Jesus, clothed in God’s invincible armor, you will “be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might.” You will “be able to stand against the wiles of the devil” (Ephesians 6:10, 11). source
Thanks and God bless you.
