WE CELEBRATE JESUS CHRIST OUR LORD AND SAVIOR EVERYDAY -- 1 CORINTHIANS 10:31
Post date: Sep 30, 2016 1:06:30 AM
Believe it or not, believers are struggling in workplaces around the world, this struggle is not as a lack of adequate, competing and compelling qualifications for the job and the positions that are available but it is an act scheduled by the forces of darkness and the devil to install godlessness and promote Satan’s evil agenda in the entire system around the world. It is clearly stated in the scriptures and I believe it that, “For our struggle is not against flesh and blood contending only with physical opponents, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly supernatural places.” Ephesians 6:12 but thanks be to our Lord Jesus Christ and God our Father in heaven for we are also told clearly in the same scriptures that we will and we can have the victory through faith in our Lord’s guiding love, power and willing ability to us good, to defend us and to restore all lost glory as a result of this wickedness in the workplaces and businesses. “For though we walk in the flesh as mortal men, we are not carrying on our spiritual warfare according to the flesh and using the weapons of man. The weapons of our warfare are not physical weapons of flesh and blood. Our weapons are divinely powerful for the destruction of fortresses. We are destroying sophisticated arguments and every exalted and proud thing that sets itself up against the true knowledge of God, and we are taking every thought and purpose captive to the obedience of Christ, being ready to punish every act of disobedience, when your own obedience as a church is complete.” 2 Corinthians 10:3-6
Did you know believers are being denied employment offers, business contracts, permits to acts or function and assistance to beginning or continue in their businesses? Did you notice the righteous are being eased out of the workforces in droves around the world today? Did you notice they are denied deserved promotions and increases for no other reason other than their stand on the truth in the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ? Did you notice the demise of holiness, godliness and divine truth in private and public offices, in private and public schools and in businesses? This is not ordinary; it is because of their uncompromising stand on the word of truth from God and their position and actions on God’s moral codes; it is because the world does not want the truth as stated by God but the truth as conceived by in the hearts of men in their own understanding, in their own wisdom and in their acceptable standards which is nothing else but destructive to the good morals of God and standard of godliness and righteousness as laid down in the scriptures.
We are told not to be intimidated but to put on the whole armor because God will help, He will defend us and defend His name, He will restore lost grounds, He will build the defense as He did for Job before the devil asked for permission to penetrate through the defense. “Therefore, put on the complete armor of God, so that you will be able to successfully resist and stand your ground in the evil day of danger, and having done everything that the crisis demands, to stand firm in your place, fully prepared, immovable, victorious. So stand firm and hold your ground, having tightened the wide band of truth, personal integrity, moral courage around your waist and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, an upright heart, and having strapped on your feet the gospel of peace in preparation to face the enemy with firm-footed stability and the readiness produced by the good news. Above all, lift up the protective shield of faith with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God. With all prayer and petition pray with specific requests at all times on every occasion and in every season in the Spirit, and with this in view, stay alert with all perseverance and petition interceding in prayer for all God’s people. And pray for me, that words may be given to me when I open my mouth, to proclaim boldly the mystery of the good news of salvation for which I am an ambassador in chains.” Ephesians 6:13-20 Prayers Click here
