Text: Ephesians 6:12
Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan
Exhortation:
Discipleship is warfare. The moment you choose Christ, you declare war on darkness. “We wrestle not against flesh and blood” (Ephesians 6:12). Satan targets disciples because they threaten his kingdom. A disciple must be armed, alert, and anchored in truth.
Spiritual warfare requires knowing your authority in Christ (Luke 10:19) and standing firm on the Word (Matthew 4:10). You defeat the enemy through faith (1 John 5:4), prayer (Ephesians 6:18), and righteousness (James 5:16). Warfare is not fear-based but faith-based.
A disciple must resist the devil consistently (James 4:7). The enemy studies weaknesses, plants temptations, and crafts distractions. Vigilance is essential (1 Peter 5:8). A prayerless disciple will always be powerless in battle, but a prayerful disciple becomes a conqueror.
Victory belongs to those who stand their ground. Christ already won the war (Colossians 2:15); the disciple enforces that victory daily. Warfare shapes strength, maturity, and authority. Conquerors emerge from battles fought with God.
Prayer Nugget: Father, please, strengthen me for every spiritual battle and make me victorious through Christ.
