Today's Devotion-Winning the Warfare

Eph 6:10
10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. NIV

"Life in not a picnic but a warfare" quoted by a preacher. At first its seems exagerated until to observed it wisely. You will then, agree! That's why we should always be prepared at all times for any attack that desires to destroy our peace in Christ as a valiant soldier does. We are not fighting only for our own safety but also for those who are around us. The good thing is this; the battle is of the Lord!!! We just need to be strong in Him! Emphasis is in the Lord. Not in us. We might feel the pressure, see the battle but its all of the Lord! We are just the instrument of the warfare, the vessel of God's victory and of Christ glory! It is the Spirit at work that the enemy is trying to defeat in us. If we give in to his schemes by depending through our own ways, wisdom and strength, we loosed, but if we hold on to our faith, stand on the word of God and allow the Holy Spirit to take charge, we will enjoy His promised "NO weapon against us will prosper for the battle is the Lord" (Isa 54:17). So, don't fear to go to your warfare, the Lord by His Spirit will stand by you, for you and with you!!!

Be strong in the Lord always by meditating His word. Calling upon His name. Standing by His promises and looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith!
Ps 27:1
27 The Lord is my light and my salvation — whom shall I fear?The Lord is the stronghold of my life — of whom shall I be afraid? NIV

Till then, mighty man and woman of God!
