Text: Ephesians 6:10-18
Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan
Exhortation:
The desire of God is that you overcome every challenge that confronts you. Let’s face it- life is full of battles. There are forces that always try to contend with you whether you realize it or not. The world we are in is demon-infested and therefore evil contends with good and darkness contends with light.
Lies contend with the truth; corruption battles with purity and unrighteousness struggles against righteousness. You will notice that it is easier to destroy than to build; it is easier to descend than to ascend and it is easier to hate than to love. Good things tend to have some form of resistance.
The devil’s kingdom is highly organized; the word of God confirms that we are not fighting against flesh and blood (human beings or physical opponents) but against the principalities (wicked spiritual forces) in the heavenly realm, the rulers, authorities, and cosmic powers of this world’s darkness.
It is therefore very important to be fully equipped with God’s armour so that you will be able to stand up against the Devil’s evil tricks- Ephesians 6:10-18
It takes a deliberate action on our own part as children of the light to shine in the midst of this world’s darkness putting the enemy where he belongs.
We must not be ignorant of Satan’s cunning devices so that he doesn’t outsmart and take advantage of us- 2 Corinthians 2:11. In the days ahead we would be identifying and praying against his demonic foot soldiers wrecking havoc in the lives of men. You will overcome in Jesus name.
Prayer Nugget: Father, I choose to shine brightly as an overcomer in the midst of this world’s darkness in Jesus name.
