WEAPONS IN SATAN ARMORY

By


This is the concluding part of the sermon on Christian Warfare.

The Christians must be aware that Satan is alive and working in a deceived world of secular enticement and religious confusion.

This is the first step in preparing ourselves to put on God’s armor so that we will not be led astray.

  1. Deception: This is the power of the devil to deceive and rules the world through: Eph 4:14 Sin Rom. 7:11, 2Cor 11:3. Through fake miracle done by his allies– Pastors, General Overseer, Prophets, Founders of churches. Matt. 24:11, 24. Through deception, Satan has instigated those institutions and governments that control society to lead people against the truth of God Acts 20:30, 1Timothy 4:1.
  2. Temptation: This is a missile that goes directly to pierce the mind and change it to do evil. Components of this missile that made it too dangerous are (i) lust of the eye (ii) Lust of the flesh and (iii) the pride of life 1 John 2:16, Mathew 4:1-11, Mathew 26:41.
  3. Fear/Shame: When Satan hits you with this weapon, you become timid and coward to do the work of God and thereby stop the name of God to be magnified. If you are not confident on battle field you cannot be victorious. “God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind”. 2Timothy 1:7, Phil 4:13.
  4. Lying Tongue: This is another powerful weapon used by the devil and his allies at deceiving the mind and the world. Thearmory of Ahab and the false prophets is a glaring example 2Kings 22:19-23, 2Thess 2:9-12. It is one of the seven abominations of Proverbs Chapter 6:16-17.
  5. Disobedience: This weapon can be liken to chemical weapon that kills massively. It killed thousand of people in the days of Noah

1 Peter 20. Today also when Christ will come for judgment, many people who disobey the gospel of Christ will be condemned in flaming fire 1Thess. 1:7-8.

CONCLUSION

With all these weapons in the Christians armory “Onward Christian Soldiers marching as to war, for victory is sure”

CHRISTIANS SHOULD ABSTAIN FROM EVERY FORM OF EVIL

By
TEXT: 1THESS. 5:22 BY: BRO. WILLIAM OVEDHE DEFINITION CHRISTIANS : Are redeemed people who do not belong to themselves but Christ Jesus. ABSTAIN : to not do something, especially, something enjoyable, because you think it is bad for your health or morally wrong. EVIL :  Something that is very bad and harmful. INTRODUCTION:   Christian should remember of the price they are bought by Christ through the blood He shed on the cross of Calvary to redeem them into his kingdom. (Rom. 6:22) Every Christian should remember the usefulness of his former life in sin, in order to appreciate his present life in the grace of God. (2 Pet. 2:20-22). We should try to maintain the grace by not turning to the life of sin from which we have escaped, and not to blasphemed the name of Jesus by our conduct. To disregard  lust of the flesh. And embrace love and grace that was poured out on the cross through the sacrificial offering of the incarnate son of God. (Rom.8:18). Wh...

Teaching: Enemies of the Cross

By
Teacher: Bro JERRY YENIGHA TEXT:- ROM.12:20-21 Let us consider those the bible referred to as enemies of the cross of Christ within the fold and outside the fold of God. These are enemies of God of his way, those who live and walk in  ways that negates the principles of Christianity and the course of Christ . such persons conscious or unconscious are the enemies of God.(Acts 13:10)   ENEMIES OF THE CROSS (Phil. 3:16-19) Note from the text above that Paul is concerned about the subject of ‘’Unity, and Harmony’’ in the church (The body of Christ) the Christians. (‘’walk by the same rule,….same mind’’). He enjoins all believers to follow his ‘’…example and pattern…’’ Not all of us here in Amarata Church are friends of God, so many of us are enemies of the way they profess. WE KNOW THAT GOD HAD ENEMIES: (Judges 5:31, Ps 68:1, 92:9; Rom. 5:10). God’s enemies were and are individuals and nations that acted contrary to his ways and open refusal to obey his will. ...
