Preparing for battle

 When do you prepare for war 💂🏾‍♂️🤔? When the enemy is at gates or in a time of peace 🤔? Well, I read a story about the Libyan government trying to prepare for war when the civil war started in 2011. 

The government was trying to buy around 120 armored fighting vehicles for around 28 million dollars. The person who was responsible to buy it, soon betrayed the government and join the rebel movement 😔. The Libyan government lost the civil war 💂🏾‍♂️

The lesson here is one shouldn't prepare for war when the enemy is at the gates. I'm not saying they lost the war just because they didn't get those armored vehicles, there were many other factors such as NATO's military intervention on behalf of the rebels, but the government was not prepared for the war.

And so it is with many of us spiritually. We live as if this world🌍 is a peaceful place and not a battlefield 💂🏾‍♂️, so when temptations and difficulties suddenly come upon us, we are  overcomed, defeated by the enemy 😈

Preparation for war 💂🏾‍♂️ is made during times of peace, not when the enemy is at the gates. You prepare for the battles of the day in the peaceful time of morning prayers, morning devotion, morning communion with God 🙏🏾

Prayer is the armored fighting vehicles we need to drive in this world, to fight the daily battles of our lives, the battles against temptations, battles against sin, battles against the flesh, the world and the Devil 😈

Don't wait until a moment of crises to get right with God, but every morning spend time with Jesus in prayer and He will prepare you for the battles to come during the day 💂🏾‍♂️. To delay spiritual preparations is to be overcome in the battle of life 😔. Don't be a victim, prepare today 🙏🏾

Luke 21

34 And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares.

35 For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth.

36 Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man

A new Constantine: Will Trump become more religious ?

 On October 28, 312 AD, the battle of the Milvian bridge took place between Roman Emperors Constantine I and Maxentius. Rome was in the midst of a civil war . Constantine won the battle and started on the path that led him to become the sole ruler of the Roman empire. But something interesting happened before the battle, Constantine who was a pagan at the time claimed to have received a vision from God. On October 27 with the armies preparing for battle, Constantine claimed to had a vision which led him to fight under the protection of  the Christian God. According to the message of Eusebius of Ceasarea, around noon, Constantine saw a luminous cross in the sky and under it the inscription in Greek," in this sign thou shalt conquer. " Constantine also claimed to had a dream in which Christ commanded him to use the sign of the cross against his enemies. Constantine became the first emperor to convert to Christianity.  He ended the policy of persecuting Christians and in 313...

The difficulties of love

 Love is a beautiful thing. Love makes life worth living. Love is best thing in the universe because God is love 😍. We all want love, we all want to be loved and many of us want someone to love. Love is very precious indeed. We sing about love, we write about it and we make movies about it. And yet love is the most difficult thing to find in this earth. It is easier to find diamonds and gold than to find true love. Easier maybe to find the lost city of Atlantis than to find genuine love. Many people have simply given up on love. They see the idea of loving and having someone to love them as fables for unwise and inexperienced children. Love is rare indeed. Why is it so hard to love or find love 🤔? The easiest answer is because we are imperfect. Being imperfect means we are broken, unable to perform the function we were made to do. Come with me on a journey of the difficulties of love. Imagine you meet someone, a man, a woman, the " love of your life." The woman is beautiful...

Second Beast of Revelation Revealed part 1

And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon. Revelation 13:11 This prophecy speaks about a nation rising at the end of time that will seem to represent Christ but will actually be against Him. In this small study, we will reveal that nation. Below are some symbolic terms in prophecy needed in order to follow this study. Beast : a political entity, a state or empire Earth : symbolizes a place that is not heavily populated, unlike the sea. The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues."  Revelation 17:15 Horns : Horns represent kings and kingdoms, or governments. Daniel 8:21 Speak : is how a nation create laws, a nation speaks by its laws So now that we have these definitions, let us go and see which nation on earth that the Bible speaks of during the end of times. There is only one super power nation coming out from an...
