Our Real Battle as Soldiers of Christ (1)

John 20:21, Matthew 28:18-19, Acts 1:8a

Then said Jesus… Peace be unto you: as my Father hath sent me, even so send I you. *And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. *But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me.

Our real battle as soldiers of Christ is to remain strong in our faith in Christ and to keep fulfilling God’s purpose for our lives, which is to advance the kingdom of God by preaching the Gospel of Christ and manifesting the life and power of God. This is what our focus must be all the time. Evangelism is our supreme task.

This is what the devil wants to discourage and distract us from. Two major ways the devil tries to discourage and distract us from this, are by lying to us about our trials and challenging times and by tempting us to sin against God.

The Bible says, “Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the LORD delivereth him out of them all,” (Psa. 34:19). During our trying times, the devil tries to tell many lies to us to weaken our faith and to discourage and distract us from fulfilling God’s purpose for our lives. We must not be ignorant of this. Rather, we must rely on God for His strength and wisdom. Talking about all the trials and afflictions that he knew he was going to face, Apostle Paul said, “But none of these things move me, neither count I my life dear unto myself, so that I might finish my course with joy, and the ministry, which I have received of the Lord Jesus, to testify the gospel of the grace of God.”

Faith Declaration:
By the strength and wisdom of God, I overcome every lie and temptation of the devil. I will keep doing exploits.
