Seeds Of Destiny Devotional – The World Of Battle

Dunamis Seeds Of Destiny 26 October 2024 Devotional By Dr. Paul Enenche: The World Of Battle

TOPIC: The World Of Battle (Seeds Of Destiny 26 October 2024)

SCRIPTURE: And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force. Matthew 11:12

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: One reason why we need a brutal, aggressive, fighting spirit is that, we live in a world of battles.

MESSAGE:

Our anchor Scripture makes an interesting statement about the inevitability of battles or violence such that not even the Kingdom of Heaven is excluded.

We live in a world of battles, so it takes violence to conquer in life and destiny. It takes the engagement of force to possess your inheritance in God. You need a fighting spirit to become all that God has ordained you to be in life.

Now, one reason why we need a brutal, aggressive, fighting spirit is that, we live in a world of battles.

Our world is characterized by wars and battles. This makes possessing a fighting spirit an unavoidable necessity for survival. It is very disastrous to sit on the fence in a battle-filled world like ours.

Ephesians 6:12 says,
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.

You may think you are living in a normal or regular world, but we are living in a world that is literally a battlefield.

2 Corinthians 10:4-5 says,
(For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;)
Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;

The truth is, whether you are interested or not, there is a wrestling going on. This is the fact, whether you offend someone or not, you must wrestle.

Sometime ago, a little boy was given a candy (sweet) by his friend in school. He put the candy in his pocket, forgetting to lick it. When he got home, the mother checked the pocket of the boy, and it was shocking what she brought out. It was a human finger she brought out of his pocket instead of the candy.

Then the mother asked him, “What is this? How did you get this?”

And the boy said, “My friend gave me a candy (sweet) in school.”

Can you imagine that? What was meant to be a physical food was actually a witchcraft initiation.

Beloved, always remember that we live in a world of battles so you can equip yourself to fight the battles of life.

Remember this: One reason why we need a brutal, aggressive, fighting spirit is that, we live in a world of battles.

ASSIGNMENTS:

1. Always equip yourself with the mentality that the world is a battle ground.
2. Ask God to baptize you with a fighting spirit.

PRAYER: Lord, help me to be battle-ready as I live in this world. I ask for a fresh baptism of a fighting spirit, Lord, in Jesus’ Name.

QUOTE: Victory belongs only to fighters. You must therefore make up your mind to be a fighter – especially in spiritual battles against the forces of darkness that want to collapse your destiny by all means. Culled from the book, “30 SECRETS TO THE TOP” by Dr Paul Enenche.

DAILY READING: Luke 16-18.

AMAZING FACT: The Gluteus Maximus, which is the main extensor muscle of the hip is the largest muscle in the body.

PROPHETIC WORD (DECLARATION): Receive the fresh baptism of a fighting Spirit in Jesus Name!
