Empowered for Battle

 Text: Ephesians 6:10(KJV)

Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.

Friends, we are not called to fight from a place of weakness or fear, but from a position of divine empowerment that brings about victory over all. Yes, God does not send us into battles unprepared rather He equips us with His strength, His authority, and His presence. Hence, it is the power of God that gives us confidence to declare that the Lord shall fight for us and we shall hold our peace. Romans 8:37 Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. Therefore, being empowered for the battle means understanding that the victory has already been secured through Christ Jesus. So, your prayers must be focused, faith-filled as we align with God’s will. Remember, the battle can be very real, but the power of God at work within us is more than real. 2 Corinthians 10:3–5 For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ.

Amazingly, our battles are not man made rather spiritually made. Therefore, spiritual battles are not fought with physical weapons but with spiritual weapons of truth, faith, prayer, and the Word of God including the mystery as revealed by the word of God. When we rely on God’s power rather than our own, we stand firm against opposition and remain unshaken in difficult seasons. Zechariah 4:6 - Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the LORD of hosts. Today, our empowerment comes through intimacy with God, obedience to His Word, and dependence on the Holy Spirit. I encourage us to always remember that the enemies attempt to intimidate us in the current challenge has been silenced as we are empowered by God to walk boldly and with confidence on the finished work of Christ in Jesus name.

PRAYER POINT:

Father, clothe me with Your armor and help me to stand firm in faith and not to depend on my ability as to overcome life challenges in Jesus name

ACTION QUOTE: Remember to stand strong in the Lord as we rely on God’s strength and not by our power, daily.
