BEHIND THE SCENES 2

Text : Genesis 3:1

 *Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?* 

The spiritual rules the physical. No doubt,  this world is a battle field, and everything that happens here are being orchested from the spirit realm. It's important you recognise this, and live in its consciousness *That you are ignorant of the fact that you are in a war doesn't make it less of a war, it only makes you an easy prey.* 

1 Timothy  6:12 says ```Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses.``` That is, even after you have come to faith, you are still in a fight. 

When you are oblivious of your opponent in a fighting arena, you have placed yourself  at a disadvantaged position. That is why 2 Corinthians 2:11 says we should not be ignorant of the devices of the devil. 

When husbands and wives, friends, church members or colleagues fight themselves,  it's because they're unaware of who is really working behind the scene. 

Ultimately, the devil is the reason for all the chaos and menace in our world as it were, but if he appeared in his real regalia, no one will do his bidding. This is why He always operates behind the scene. 

 *Note that we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.* Ephesians 6:12. That's  why the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds; 2 Corinthians  10:4.

You must equip yourself with the right weapon  to be able to deal with the real enemy (the devil and his angels) which operates basically behind the scene of the seen realms. 

Bible Reading : 2 Cor. 10:3-6.

 *PRAYER FOCUS* 

1. LORD, help me to fight the good fight of faith, help me to win my race and help me to keep the faith.

THE GOOD FIGHT-2

Text:  1 Timothy  6:12   Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses. Another thing to pursue in fighting the good fight of faith is Godliness. We understand through the Holy scriptures that godliness is profitable unto all things.   *For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.* 1 Timothy  4:8.  You will reap the reward of your godliness not only when you get to heaven, but from here on earth. And this is why we are admonished to exercise ourselves unto godliness. (1 Timothy  4:7), because godliness with contentment is great gain.1 Timothy  6:6. Godliness is the practice of conforming to the image of God by reflecting the nature of the kingdom of God in the course of everyday life. In other words, godliness is living and portray...

IT IS WRITTEN AGAIN

Text: Matthew 4:6. He told Jesus, “Since you are the Son of God, throw yourself down, because it is written,   ‘God will put his angels in charge of you,’ and,   ‘With their hands they will hold you up, so that you will never hit your foot against a rock.’ Jesus knocked devil off with "it is written" when he came to him with the first temptation. So, the devil too decided to use "it is written" for Jesus for the second temptation.  Don't be deceived, the devil knows the scriptures too. Second Corinthians 11:14 says,  "Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light." So, it's no surprise when you see Satan's messengers masquerading themselves as Apostle of Christ. 2 Corinthians 11:14.  The word of God is perfect. Yet, many people can twist it to their advantage and ultimately to their disadvantage. A drunk, smoker, fornicator, liar and all sort can justify their sinful lifestyles with a Bible verse. See to it that you do not twist the word of Go...

WHEN GOD IS SILENT(2)

Text: Matthew 4:1  *Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.*  We saw yesterday that God was not pleased with many israelites that left Egypt for the promised land  (Corinthians 10:5).  A good percentage of the Israelites were overthrown in the wilderness.   Wilderness experience is not what any child of God desires, but it is an experience God sends or allows his children go through. In Deuteronomy 8:2, God says that He *LED* the Isrealites through the wilderness for forty years to humble them, to prove them, and to know what was in their heart whether they would keep his commandments or not.  Our Lord Jesus Christ was also *LED* into the wilderness by the Spirit of the Lord to be tempted by the devil. You will  notice there is a similar feature of the number *40(forty)* between these two wilderness experiences. That is, that of the Israelites and our Lord Jesus Christ. The Israelites spent 40years, Jesu...
