MFM Daily Devotional 21 March 2022 MESSAGE

As we continue yesterday’s message, the familiar story of Goliath versus the army of Israel readily comes to mind. The enemy’s stronghold in this instance was the war front. Goliath, the captain of the Philistine army, was nothing but a terrorising enemy, harassing and tormenting his opponents, so much that they forgot that they had the backing of the God of Israel who never loses a battle.

Thank God that, though the entire army of Israel was gripped with fear and lost all hope of defeating this enemy, David, the shepherd boy, arose in the might and power of the Lord God of Israel and overcame the boastful giant with a mere sling and one stone.

The message here is that the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty through God to pull down the stronghold of the strong man, bind him and recover all stolen goods from his enclave by the awesome power in the name of Jesus. These goods are the virtues of men, blessings, riches, promotion, finances, children, good health and all good things of life. Having realised that this enemy is not physical, although some may manifest through humans, yet there is a wicked spirit that backs up the evil supervisory power in the life of men.

As a result, every effort must be made to bind the strong man and render his power useless. Fear not! There is deliverance for the captives of the mighty and the prey of the terrible by the power of God.

You must ensure that you don’t toy with sin. Prayerfully identify the strong man of your family, the power supervising your environment, the one sitting on your greatness and progress. Call upon the Strongest, Jesus Christ, the Mighty Man in battle, the Captain of the heavenly army.

It is time to war a good warfare. Holy aggression and violence is the only language the strong man understands; bring it to bear (Matt.11:12). No negotiation, no compromise!

Engage in spiritual warfare. Put on the whole armour of God, as stated in Ephesians 6:10-11. Use all offensive weapons of God at your disposal. Fight the fight of faith. Let Jesus fight for you and victory will be yours.
