GREATER THAN WEAPONS OF WARFARE

Thou art my battle axe and weapons of war: ... And with thee will I break in pieces the horse and his rider; and with thee will I break in pieces the chariot and his rider— Jer. 51:20-21 KJV

The Word of God is quick and powerful, sharper than any two edged sword. Those who have their faith and trust in it never lose any battle. David knew the power in the Word when with all the peripheral of war that Goliath adorned himself with looked directly to his face and with all boldness, said, 'Thou comest to me with a sword, and with a spear, and with a shield: but I come to thee in the name of the Lord of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom thou hast defied.'
God will always stand by his Word to defend it and see that it accomplishes its mission.

The book of Psalms says, ' I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name— Psalm 138:2 KJV. To magnify is to hold in high esteem and value beyond measure. Whatever you esteem high, you will always be ready to defend and protect.

God is waiting to back you up when you act on His Word and use it as a defence, for pulling down every high thing that will want to exalt itself against the knowledge of God in your life, for commanding every storm to be still, for bringing to a halt the intrusion of the enemy into your territory.
Luke 10:19 KJV:
Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you. Speak the Word with all boldness and authority.

The devil knows you are fully backed up to stay his hand. He dreads to hear, 'IT IS WRITTEN' It upsets him to know you are not ignorant of the power given to you against his schemes.

I speak peace to that home. I command healings of every curable and incurable diseases. I command every shut doors opened. Let the blind receive his sight, let the weak be strengthened, let the captives be set free, let every addiction cease now in Jesus name.

WE ARE FULLY ACCOUNTABLE FOR ALL OUR ACTIONS

Therefore, you have no excuse or defense or justification, O man… Rom. 2:1a AMP.

From the days of Adam, it has been in the habit of Man to always find a way of absolving himself of every action or in-action whenever the chips are down. Passing the buck is often seen as a clever way of exonerating oneself from any ill-fated action or decision taken, all in a desperate bid to secure a soft landing instead of owning up and plead for mercy and forgiveness. Rather than waiting to play the ostrich, we can be careful enough to weigh all our actions and in-actions in line with the Word of God before executing them for 'in Him actions are weighed' (1Sam 2:3).

In Colossians 4:6 the Word of God counsels, ‘Let your conversation be always full of grace, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone.’ We should not also be ruled by sentiments or allow emotions to move us in considering every piece of advice irrespective of whichever direction it is coming from.

Haman, was a man at the corridors of power who, out of mere selfishness and wickedness of heart, was bent on destroying Mordecai and his entire Jewish people. When he tabled the matter before his wife, she advised him to prepare a gallows and influence the king to approve the death of Mordecai so he could be hung on the gallows. What type of wife are you? What type of husband are you? Do you complement each other’s genuine efforts or is it a case of blind leading the blind?

Still in the case of Haman, we read from the scriptures that adopting his wife’s counsel, Haman made the gallows but when the odds turned against him, the same wife gave him this shocking reply: “And Haman told Zeresh his wife and all his friends everything that had happened to him. Then said his wise men and Zeresh his wife unto him,
if Mordecai be of the seed of the Jews, before whom thou hast begun to fall, thou shalt not prevail against him, but shalt surely fall before him.”(Esther 6:13). Yes, he did fall before him as he (Haman) was the one that paid the supreme visit to the gallows (Esther 7:9-10).

Another example that will be very useful here is that of Job, This was a man that God testified for his faithfulness and righteousness. When the enemy struck in his life (which was however by God’s permission) his wife who supposed to be a supporter was the one that shot the very arrow that would have brought him down by asking him to curse God and die. (Job 2:9). Like in the case of Haman, Job also had a choice to make,but he chose to faithfully persist and live up to God’s testimony concerning him.

Who is your confidant? No matter how close the friendship, how intimate the relationship and how emotional the attachment, if he or she cannot speak life, we owe ourselves the duty and the honor to say, 'Nay I did not so learned Christ'--- Eph. 4:20.

I PRAY FOR GOD'S GUIDANCE IN ALL YOUR ACTIONS AND DECISIONS IN JESUS NAME.
