Warfare WEAPONS THAT NEVER FAILS {Part 2}
We continue this message on the weapons of warfare we could use in difficult situation. The last time, we were able to ascertain that life is not a bird of roses; there are times of trial in a man’s life. The earlier we take this fact serious, the better for us. There is what is called the battle of life; reason the bible used the word “We Wrestle” in Ephesian 6:12, meaning we must fight. Whether we believe or not; we think it’s logical or not; in the battle field, there is no middle ground; it is either you fight and conquer or you look and be conquered; I pray that in the battle of life, we will not be a victim; we will be a victor in the name of Jesus.
We looked at the most powerful weapon of prayer; we looked at how we could get awesome and effective result through the strategies of prayer. We look at a major key weapon of warfare: Weapon of Midnight Prayers/ Vigils. You can visit the previous part for details of this weapon here.
The second weapon of spiritual warfare we will look at is:
2: Weapon of Positive Confessions |
This is a very strong weapon; though it looks simple and people usually ignore this weapon.
What do you use your mouth to confess?
Do you cancel your testimonies/miracles with you confessions?
Positive confessions is not
Ø About looking at the reality and logic because God is not work with logic.
Ø Determined about how you feel at the moment.
Ø Mean that you are not experiencing sad and trouble moments
Positive confessions is
Ø Declaring the word of God about you situation.
Ø Declaring the promise of God over your life.
Ø Declaring the magnanimity and bigness of God in your situation.
Ø Declaring the will of God (which is always good –Jerimiah 29:11) about your situation.
Ø Declaring the mercy of God that is able to intervene for you at every time of you need.
Ø Declaring the blood of Jesus that can fight any battle for you.
Ø Declare the name of the Almighty God; able to save and deliver {Jehovah Jireh, Jehovah Nissi, Jehovah Elohim, Jehovah Shammah and so on}
Ø Declaring the grace of God that is sufficient for you always.
We can go on and on; the ultimate question is this:
· Do you believe what God said about you; then why do you say the contrary?
· Do you believe that God is so big; then when do you belittle and limit God in your life?
· Do you believe there is nothing God cannot do; then why do you give up on God by your utterance;
Hard Facts about Our Utterances/Word/Confessions
v Our words carry Power: You can never overestimate the power in your confessions. “Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof” {Proverbs 18:21}. The fruit of positive confessions is breakthroughs and testimonies. It possesses the power that can transform anything regardless of its state.
v Our words build our Faith: “So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.” {Romans 10:17}. You can increase you faith by declaring to yourself; I shall not die; I am rich; I am healed by His blood; as you declare this words, your body will hear and adjust to it. You are what you are.
v Our words moves God into Action: When we declare positive confessions and our faith is increased; it will get to a point where God will have no choice but to intervene; because of your rugged determination.
v Our words discourages the devil: Declaring that the sickness the devil has put there is gone; not seeing all the troubles the devil puts in front of you; praising God all the time regardless of the circumstance; All this will discourage the devil and he will have no choice but to give up.
WHAT DO WE DO
1. Live a life that pleases God; Your maker.
2. Be determined to change you confessions.
3. Consistently make positive confessions.
