CONTENDING WITH THE REAL ENEMY

Spread the love

Bible Texts: Jn.10:9-11, Est.7:6, 1Tim.5:14, 1Pet.5:8, Lk.18:1, Mk.9:29, Rev.12:10, Matt.16:22-23, Gal.4:19, Eph.2:2, Eph.6:12

Today’s teaching is to help the husbandman identify who his real enemy is, so he can redirect his energy in dealing with the real adversary. And our anchor Scripture is from Ephesians chapter 2.

Wherein in time past, ye walked according to the course of this world according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience (Eph.2:2)

The Scripture says that the prince of the power of the air works disobedience in people’s lives. This means that every misbehavior and disobedience you notice in the lives of your wife or children is influenced by unseen forces, and that unseen forces are satan, sin and the world (Jn.10:10). Whatever you see happening or coming from your wife and children that is not of God and not goodly, is instigated by invisible forces. These invincible forces are your real enemies, and not your wife or children.

For we wrestle not against flesh and blood but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places (Eph.6:12)

As the good and godly husbandman, you must understand that your fight is not against your wife or children but against principalities, powers, rulers of darkness that are influencing them to misbehave.

But how do I wrestle and overcome the forces influencing the misbehavior in my life or in the lives of my wife or my children?

You wrestle these unseen satanic forces by engaging the spiritual weapon of the word of God, prayer and fasting (Mk.9:29, Lk.18:1, Gal.4:10).

You contend with these ungodly forces by engaging the weapon of the blood and the name of Jesus Christ (Rev.12:10-11).

You fight these unseen powers of darkness by engaging the weapon of faith in God and in His word (Heb.11:32-33).

You also engage the help of the Person of the Holy Spirit for the renewing of your mind, so you think victory always (Rom.12:1-3).

Therefore, take your stand as the good shepherd and contend with the forces of satan, sin and the world trying to influence the lives of your wife and your children. Take authority over the forces of darkness trying to defile your life, and the lives of your wife and your children. That is your gateway to remaining the good and godly husbandman.

Hallelujah!
