WEAPONS IN SATAN ARMORY



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”

Hindrances To Our Relationship With God

TEXT: MATT. 24 :2 BY: BRO. AMOS OVURU This message is being directed to who are now Sunday, Sunday worshipers. MEANING OF HINDRANCE Something that holds back or causes problem with something else, (you are not coming). Some of us are now very, very far from God. And have attracted to many, many more problems to our selves. 1 step away from God is 100 step closer to devil. (Matt.6:30) seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness.. (Matt. 6:20-21) we were advice to seek heavenly things, don’t be over attached to Earthly things. Why, will we not bring problems to ourselves  (Jer. 5:25) In the social media- story of two fighters on Thursday- used stone on his head and that nwas how he died. (Jer. 5:25) Your sin has turned away good things and also withhold your blessing from reaching you. (James 4:2-3) In the state of then confusion- even when we asked from God we asked with wrong motives. So we don’t even receive from God anymore. Because we are left ...
