Use Your Weapon

Contributed by Lola Olanrewaju on Jan 21, 2018

The moment you give your life to jesus you are not just saying " yes Lord"  you are literarily saying  let the battle begin.The battle we are in today is  not the battle of physical confrontation but a spiritual warfare that needs spiritual weapons.

But we need to remember that we are soldiers in christ.  2 Corinth 10:4 says: "For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds" I  realised ...read more

Staying The Course Series

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Jan 7, 2022

Last week we saw how becoming tired of incessant battle can lead to becoming impatient and attempting to rush what God is wanting to do in His way and His timing. It can also lead a person to feeling defeated and abandoning the fight. David boldly declared in Psalm 119, “I will run the course of ...read more
