Becoming a True Spiritual Soldier Part 12

Becoming a True Spiritual Soldier Part 12

A true soldier does not quit even in the midst of harsh conditions. He is totally under the control of his master. Being a child of God is a demand; you do not need to be cajoled. Becoming a true soldier is by volunteer. A true soldier does not break his rank, nor release secrets of the army. He encourages people to be part of the army through soul wining. A true soldier dies for the kingdom. Previously, we learnt that the first training a true soldier must undergo is the training of the Word.

Why the training of the word?

  1. So that you will not become a victim of spiritual carelessness and recklessness
  2. So that you will not become a victim of spiritual kidnappers
  3. So that you will not become a victim of spiritual manipulation (Genesis 3:1, 2 Corinthians 2 : 10-11)
  4. So that you will not become a victim of spiritual deception (2 Corinthians 11:3)

The devil operates in these three forms:

  1. Temptation
  2. Accusation (Revelation 12:10)
  3. Deception

In order to overcome the devil’s oppression in your life and remain effective as a true soldier, you must subscribe to spiritual sensitivity.

Further Scriptures: Jude 1:3, Luke 4:13, Revelation 9:21, Luke 4:8, Philippians 2:12

Prayer line: Oh God, I subdue every deceptive voice of the devil against my life and family in Jesus name. AMEN.

 Spiritual song:

Lord create in me a clean heart

                                            and renew the right spirit within me

                                            sanctify me by the fire of your holiness

                                            and I’ll forever be praising your holy name

Weekly Message: The Covenant Of Generational Success

Weekly Message: The Covenant Of Generational Success

Everything God is doing, He does it with a generational perspective. Anything that will last must have a generational undertone. Anything that will survive the hostility of the times must be willing to serve a generation (Luke 1:50).

What does it mean to access generational success? 

It simply means to think generational.

  1. To think generational is to think about the future
  2. To think generational is to think beyond your life
  3. To think generational is to think beyond your family
  4. To think generational is to think posterity and not prosperity

The sons of past Nigerian leaders are no where today because their fathers did not think posterity. Your riches will only last forever if you think generational. A prosperity that does not have a future undertone is futile, it may come quickly but it does not last forever. Posterity may take time but it will last forever (Isaiah 2:3)

When God deals with people, He deals with them according to generation (Psalms 109:13). When God blesses, He also visits them with a generational blessing. He treats according to generation (Genesis 50:23, Deuteronomy 23:2)

What is the demand of God on us for this generational success?

  1. For us to reverse and become a light to gentiles (Luke 16:8, Ecclesiastics 10:6-8)
  2. To serve Him, He is looking for those that will serve Him for life (Psalms 2:7-8, Mark 6:23-24, Esther 7:2-3)

Important quotes:

  • Hide your certificate if it cannot transform a life
  • No one is capable of keeping you captive until he locates your brain.

Prayer line: O lord today, I receive divine inspiration for generational impact in the name of Jesus. Amen!

Weekly Message: Becoming A True Soldier Part 10

Weekly Message: Becoming A True Soldier Part 10

No matter what you do, don’t ever forget about rapture. Always remember that your Christianity will be a waste if you miss heaven. It would have been better for you if you had committed all the sins in this world instead of answering a Christian and then you miss heaven because you got carried away with the activities of the church and failed to meet up with God’s standard.

You will fail to make heaven if you live in carnality. The end point of carnality is death; once you lose your touch of spirituality you are carnal. It is not by going to church but by living in purity that you can make heaven. No civilization can deal with the ancient words. God’s word contains His standard and His standard cannot fail and His word is his measuring standard.

When you study Matthew 7:22 from the Message Bible, you will find out that divine supply is not equal to divine presence. Divine presence is costly and is a requirement for you as a true soldier. You can only draw strength to fight the good fight from God’s presence. A good soldier is not afraid to fight the good fight (1 Timothy 6:12). To arrive as a good soldier of Christ you must fight the good fight and you must fight it till death.

What the true soldier of Christ must fight?

  1. Carnality
  2. Ungodly influence
  3. Manifestations of the flesh
  4. Satanic systems

A true soldier must be willing to die while fighting the good fight (Colossians 3:3). In order to make this fight, you must decide to be on the lord’s side (Exodus 32:26). A true soldier’s marriage or academic or skills is not for his comfort. If God is still struggling to use your beauty or your time or your resources – forget it! You are not a true soldier! A true soldier must sacrifice his life on God’s altar (2 Timothy 4:6). A true soldier performs only for God’s applause (2 Timothy 4:7-8)

Prayer line: Father today I receive the grace to fight the good fight as a true soldier of Christ in Jesus name. Amen!
