Oh11 Feb 2014, WORD4ALL: GOD'S BATTLE
(1 நாளாகமம் 5 : 22) யுத்தம் தேவனால் நடந்தபடியினால் அநேகர் வெட்டுண்டு விழுந்தார்கள்;
(1 chronicles 5:22) Many of the hagrites were killed because it was God's battle.
Let's not become a casualty in the battle. God is leading a battle. we are chosen to enjoy the benefits of this war and not to be a victim.
It is a spiritual war. To enjoy the benefits, we should be led by the spirit and should be above the fleshy nature. else we too may get lost, hurt, wounded or even killed.
We are living in the battle zone and in the epicentre of the battle where establishment of His kingdom (both personally/individual & in society) is the priority. Survival is possible only when we have the whole armour of God which includes
1. Helmet - Salvation
2. Chest plate/armour - Righteousness
3. Waist belt - Truth
4. Sandals - Readiness for the Gospel
5. Shield - Faith
6. Sword - God's word.
Let's be careful not to give room for fleshy natures like
# jealousy,
# hatreds,
# outbursts of anger,
# envy,
# factions or divisions,
# quarrelling,
# selfishness,
# self righteous feeling (feeling that everyone else is wrong) leading to spiritual pride & arrogance,
# greed,
# bitterness,
# foolish talk and coarse joking,
# grumbling and unhealthy arguments,
# immorality,
# impure thoughts,
# eagerness for lustful pleasure etc..
If we belong to Christ, we must have crucified all these sinful fleshy natures to the cross and we should allow the Holy Spirit to control every area of our life producing the fruit of
# Love,❤️
# Joy,
# Peace,
# Patience,
# Kindness,
# Goodness,
# Faithfullness,
# Gentleness &
# Self-control.
Let us not become conceited or irritate one another or be jealous of one another.
