Text: Psalm 119:89
Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan
Exhortation:
The sixth ingredient of spiritual wrestling is Loyalty to God’s Word. In every battle, the strength of your stance depends on the foundation beneath your feet. For the believer, that foundation is the unchanging, unshakable Word of God.
When Jesus faced temptation in the wilderness, He triumphed not with emotion, but with the written Word:
“It is written…” (Matthew 4:4–10). Each declaration of Scripture dismantled the enemy’s lie and enforced divine truth. True spiritual wrestlers do not fight with opinions, feelings, or arguments — they stand firm on “Thus saith the Lord.”
The psalmist affirms in Psalm 119:105: “Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.” God’s Word gives direction in the dark, clarity amid confusion, and power over the adversary.
Also, Hebrews 4:12 reminds us that: “The word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword.” This means every time you speak the Word in faith, you release divine power that cuts through resistance and brings alignment with God’s will.
Beloved, loyalty to the Word means more than quoting Scripture — it means living by it, trusting it, and obeying it even when it’s not convenient. The Word is your weapon, your shield, and your anchor. Every lasting victory in spiritual warfare is born out of steadfast confidence in what God has said.
