Loved one in Christ
Jesus, I believe you are growing in the strength of the Lord. This is lesson
eleven on my teachings, the divine principles of spiritual warfare. Kindly read the previous lessons for a
more profound revelation.
In my previous post, I introduced
a book I wrote with the help of the Holy Spirit. In that book, I wrote some
reasons Christians must engage in spiritual warfare prayers. Many satanic
agents and Jezebels are operating in the churches, leaderships, businesses, and
institutions.
Some of these satanic
vessels are leaders on the church board. It is time we break their stronghold
and open the door for the Holy Spirit to have His way in the church. I have
realized in my spiritual life that anytime I allow invisible sins such as
bitterness, unforgiveness, and lust to reign in my heart, the devil, gets
access into my life.
In the spiritual realm,
you will find yourself covered in great darkness if you live in sin. When you
see your spirit in this arena, it means the devil has access to you. Some sin
is conscious, while others are unconscious. This is one reason we must pray for
the Holy Spirit to sanctify our hearts continually.
Many Christians live
under the enemy's bondage because of pride, anger, bitterness, jealousy, and
unforgiveness. The devil is a master scout. He has agents all over the world
who report humankind activities to him.
On this premise, I am
writing this article to help you become vigilant and stay stronger in the Lord.
If you are not watchful, the devil and his minions can devour you (See 1 Peter
5:8-9). Christ Jesus gave us some hints on the enemy, and it is our
responsibility to follow the Lord's counsel and become watchful in life.
Another parable put he
forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which
sowed good seed in his field:
But while men slept,
his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way.
But when the blade was
sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also.
So the servants of the
householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy
field? from whence then hath it tares?
He said unto them, An
enemy hath done this. The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and
gather them up?
But he said, Nay; lest
while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them.
Let both grow together
until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather
ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the
wheat into my barn.
Matthew
13:24-30 KJV
Christ Jesus gave us a
clue that “while men slept, his enemy
came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way.” The enemy waits
for us to sleep before he attacks. The devil searches for our vulnerable season
and uses this time to strike.
Child of God, be
mindful in the season of weakness because it gives the devil and his minion's the
legal ground to attack. The devil did not attack when the man was active
because he knew the man could defend himself.
In our Christian life,
a time comes when we become depressed because the Word of God seems ineffective
or we don’t receive an answer to our prayers.
In this season, you may
become weak and give up on the faith. The moment you give up on your faith, the
devil breaks in to attack. The devil can sow tares of confusion, fear, ungodly
anger, bitterness, marriage divorce, pain, conflict, and pride into you when
you give up on the faith.
The devil knew that the
tares (anger, confusion, depression, and other weapons) could destroy the
harvest we have labored, so he intentionally waits for our vulnerable state to
issue his attacks.
Maybe you are going
through financial constraints, marital abuse, economic hardship, pain, and
injustice. Don't give place to the devil because it is at this hour that he
strikes most. The enemy waited for the man to sleep.
When you sleep, your
spirit and soul do not rest. In this season, evil spirits or holy angels can
access you depending on the opened door. This is one reason some people receive
strange attacks in the dream.
Some people become sick
when they wake up. Others become weak, whiles some die in their sleep. It is
the works of the devil. Apply divine wisdom in this season. I will write into
details in the next article on the midnight activities and reveal the enemy's
ultimate strategy to enable you to become strong in the Lord.
When you encounter
challenges in your spiritual life, business, family, job, and career, search
for the root cause. It might be that the devil has sowed some tares in your
life to make you give up on your faith.
The devil knows it is
the seed (your divine investment) that makes you stronger in the faith, so he will
do anything to destroy the seed you have sowed.
Giving up on the faith
will render the investment you made in the kingdom useless. The devil will
steal the shares you have accumulated in the kingdom when you give up in the
faith. Always check for the root cause of the problem and ask the Holy Spirit
to give you the solution.
Using your limited
knowledge to solve a spiritual problem is a disaster like the syrophoenician
woman who spent all her money on doctors to heal her of sickness. Until she
encountered Christ Jesus, she remained in her anemic state. All she needed was
faith in the Word (Jesus).
The servants that reported
the case to their master suggested they uproot the tares from the germinating seed,
but the master (Christ Jesus) gave them wisdom. Solving a spiritual problem
with unbelievers is suicidal because they don't have the Holy Spirit's mindset.
We don’t solve a
spiritual problem with worldly wisdom. Fighting the devil with your resource
(connections, money, business, family, and friends) is vain. You need the
knowledge and power of Christ Jesus because He knows how to dominate the devil.
If you want to see the wisdom of Christ Jesus, search through the Holy
Scriptures.
The more you feed on
the Word (Holy Scriptures); you become one with Christ Jesus. When the enemy
attacks you, you will know the best strategy to use because you are one with
the Word. If you are empty of God’s Word, you become a slice of meat in the
enemy’s presence.
If you have the Word in
your spirit and soul, the enemy will be powerless in your presence. Visiting
shrines for assistance worsens the case because the people working in these
places are the satanic agents.
The sorcerers,
magicians, necromancers, occult, and wizards are in levels. If you visit these
satanic agents' lower rank, the higher ones can break you and destroy you. The
ultimate power lies in Christ Jesus. Jesus Christ is above witches, magicians,
vicious occult groups, necromancers, sorcerers, evil spirits, and every satanic
agent.
Don’t open the door for
the enemy to attack you in your vulnerable state. Build a strong relationship
with the Holy Spirit through anointed spiritual songs and meditation on the
Word. The more you fellowship with the
Holy Spirit, the devil and his minions distance themselves from you.
If the devil has sowed
some tares (unforgiveness, bitterness, jealousy, financial hardship, anger,
pride, and intolerance) in your marriage, gather those tares and burn (solve) it
through fasting, prayer, and counseling.
If you throw the
bathing baby with the water, you destroy or kill the child. You save the baby
if you apply wisdom. That is how to deal with the enemy. The real enemy
fighting you is not your husband, wife, children, and boss.
The devil is using them
as instruments to attack your faith. Analyze the behavior of the person and
deal with invisible spiritual forces manipulating them. If you uproot the tares
while the seed is germinating, you will destroy the seed.
Protect the seed (marriage,
business, church, and family) with God’s wisdom (the Holy Scriptures and
guidance of the Holy Spirit). When the season comes for you to uproot the tares
(conflict, confusion, pain, depression, anger, bitterness, unforgiveness), the
Holy Spirit will alert you.
For example, you don't
settle a case when you are in a bad mood. You don't decide when you are
extremely happy and angry; doing that will cause trouble. Wait for the right
season (in your right senses) to make decisions.
You don’t enter spiritual
warfare prayers when you are living in conscious sin. Doing that is
dangerous. The devil may know the impact
of your decisions when you are angry or sad, so he will push you to decide in
that vulnerable state.
It is like a soldier
who has no control of his emotions; such a soldier or leader puts his
followers' lives in danger. It is time you build the fruits of the Holy Spirit
in you. Get my series of books for a
more profound revelation.
You have a role to play
to enable God and His angels to work. You have to;
1. Discern the season
of vulnerability.
2. Discern the season the
enemy sows the tares.
3. Build a strong and
consistent fellowship with the Holy Spirit.
4. Build your spiritual
muscles with the Word of God.
5. Seek counsel from
trusted spiritual leaders.
6. Ask the Holy Spirit
for wisdom on dealing with the enemy or the situation, or else you will destroy
the seed.
7. Discern the season
to take action.
If you master these
keys, you will always walk in victory.
