Today we unmask the hidden enemy as we recognise spiritual warfare in our midst using the story of the landlord's experience with the tenant and the revelation of the tenant's true intentions:
"I am an estate landlord." There is this tenant who has been living in the houses for quite some time. She has witnessed all of the people who attempted to rob us of our property, including using witchcraft and conspiring with local authorities, but God saw us through. Soon after evicting all people we thought were enemies of progress with personal intentions of stealing our property, someone informs us that the lady tenant we thought was a sympathiser and a born-again believer who drinks crude alcohol (quite a curious and controversial action) and keeps gospel music playing in her house all day actually brought a team of witch doctors to the place. We dismissed it as hearsay, but the more we tried to develop the area, the more she complained. But because we believe God will push us through any obstacle, we continued to pray despite the setbacks, and by grace, we always made progress. We recently discovered that development progress has slowed, and she and her people have begun paying late. I go deeper into prayer, and her voice appears, saying, "I am so bad." You mistook me for a friend. I'll never be your pal. You think you can keep taking our rent and telling us to leave, and we'll be happy. I have always been the driving force behind all actions and witchcraft to ensure that we all suffer equally. You have blocked all of our witchcraft, and any witchcraft we do for you instead hits us. We had made plans to use your location behind your back while disguised, but every time we try to start our deals, you interfere." It was only after this that we realised our adversary was so close and had always been too close for us to notice. That is my experience.
Dear brothers and sisters in Christ,
From the story of the landlord's experience with the tenant and the revelation of the tenant's true intentions, we Discover the reality of spiritual warfare and learn how to recognise the hidden enemy's tactics that hinder our progress. Find encouragement and strategies to overcome obstacles and walk in victory as our first topic drawn from this story.
Topic 1. The Reality of Spiritual Warfare:
Spiritual warfare is a real battle that Christians face. Spiritual warfare is not a mere metaphor or a concept to be taken lightly. The Bible clearly speaks about the existence of spiritual warfare and warns us of the enemy's tactics. Hallelujah!
In Ephesians 6:12 (AMP), the apostle Paul writes, "For our struggle is not against flesh and blood [contending only with physical opponents], but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this [present] darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly (supernatural) places." Ephesians 6:12 reminds us that our battle is not against human beings but against spiritual forces that seek to hinder our progress and harm us.
Furthermore, 1 Peter 5:8 (AMP) states, "Be sober [well balanced and self-disciplined]; be alert and cautious at all times. That enemy of yours, the devil, prowls around like a roaring lion [fiercely hungry], seeking someone to devour." 1 Peter 5:8 emphasises the need for vigilance and discernment in identifying the enemy's schemes. The devil is constantly seeking to devour and destroy believers, and we must be aware of his tactics. Hallelujah!
It is crucial for you to recognise the reality of spiritual warfare because it affects every aspect of your life. The enemy seeks to hinder your progress, disrupt your relationships, and most of all, undermine your faith. The enemy uses various tactics such as deception, temptation, and discouragement to weaken your resolve and divert you from God's purposes.
As believers, you must be equipped with the armour of God (Ephesians 6:13–18) and be rooted in prayer and the Word of God. You need to be discerning, constantly seeking God's guidance and protection. By recognising the reality of spiritual warfare, you can actively engage in the battle and overcome the enemy's attacks as guided by the scriptures.
In conclusion, spiritual warfare is not a distant concept or a myth. Spiritual warfare is a real battle that Christians face. I remind you that you must be aware of the enemy's tactics and be vigilant in identifying his schemes. By relying on God's strength and equipping ourselves with God's armour, we can overcome the hidden enemy and experience victory in our lives. Please don't forget to pray. Let us pray.
Prayer:
Heavenly Father, I thank you for revealing to me the reality of spiritual warfare. I acknowledge that my battle is not against flesh and blood but against the spiritual forces of wickedness. Help me to be vigilant and discerning, always seeking Your guidance and protection. Strengthen me with Your armour and empower me to overcome the enemy's attacks. May I walk in victory and experience the abundant life You have promised me. In Christ Jesus' mighty name, I have prayed, Amen.
You have been Church-Built and healed. Please voluntarily and sincerely give thanks to the Lord for His unfailing love in all circumstances. This is God's will for you in Christ Jesus. Pray, tithe, and sow healing seeds to Him, who can do immeasurably more than you ask or imagine. Act in faith and obedience, and be doers of the word, not just hearers.
Yours in Christ,
