BE STRONG IN THE LORD

Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might.

Ephesians 6:10

Many people in these last days have gotten weak and that is because they think they have to be strong in themselves. The Bible did not say be strong in yourself, but it says be strong in the Lord.

However, some people want to be strong but they don’t want to pray, study the Word or go to church. Consequently, they remain weak. If you are going to be strong in the Lord, you have to engage in spiritual exercises.

Some listen to their feelings, they feel weak and then think they are weak. That is not what the Bible teaches. As the righteous, we walk by faith and not by sight or sensory perception. It doesn’t matter how you feel because you can change it by your words.

Beat your plowshares into swords and your pruning hooks into spears; let the weak say, ‘I am strong.’

Joel 3:10

What you say about yourself affects your feelings. So if you are feeling weak, you can say, “I am strong in the Lord.” Your feelings will follow your words. It doesn’t matter how you feel right now you can change it by your words.

You can be strong in the Lord and stay strong. When you are strong, you can do exploits for God. God uses the strong and makes them leaders. God told Joshua to be strong and courageous. If you want to be a good leader you have to be strong and courageous.

As a leader you have to be bold as a lion and strong in the Lord. A lion will always lead sheep into victory, but a sheep will hardly lead lions into victory.

God doesn’t use weaklings; even when He spoke to Gideon He called him a mighty man of valor. God uses mighty men; God uses the strong in the Lord.

The wicked flee when no one pursues, but the righteous are bold as a lion.

Proverbs 28:1

Thought of the day: I have to be strong in the Lord and not in myself.

Confession: I am strong in the Lord!

STRENGTHEN YOURSELF IN THE LORD

Now David was greatly distressed, for the people spoke of stoning him, because the soul of the people was grieved, every man for his sons and his daughters. But David strengthened himself in the LORD his God. 1 Samuel 30:6 Things could be going wrong all around you, challenges everywhere, and negative thoughts attacking your mind even to a point of depression. Instead of feeling sorry for yourself and wallowing up in depression, stand up and strengthen yourself in the Lord. We live in the world that has challenges, Jesus said that in the world you will have tribulations, but cheer up because Jesus has overcome the world. Strengthen yourself in the Lord and be strong in the Lord and the power of His might. Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. Ephesians 6:10 When you are weak you cannot overcome challenges you face in life. When you are weak you cannot have the victory and take possession your inheritance. You have to be strong. Strong

WAGE WAR WITH PROPHECY

This charge I commit to you, son Timothy, according to the prophecies previously made concerning you, that by them you may wage the good warfare. 1 Timothy 1:18 If you have a prophecy spoken over your life it is time for warfare. It is time to wage war with your prophecy. Take the prophecy spoken over you and put it in your mouth. Speak the same prophecy over your life. Agree with God. Can two walk together, unless they are agreed? Amos 3:3 Speak the same things with God. That is faith, faith speaks the same things with God and we overcome by our faith. Faith will put you over and it will make you an overcomer. Use your faith to wage war. And whatever is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that overcomes the world – our faith. 1 John 5:4 Put up a good fight and fight the good fight of faith. You have to fight in order to win. Wage war with prophecy. If there is no prophecy spoken over you, there is nothing to it. Use the Word and speak the Word over

MINISTERS OF THE GOSPEL SHOULD LIVE FROM THE GOSPEL

Even so the Lord has commanded that those who preach the gospel should live from the gospel. 1 Corinthians 9:14 Ministers of the gospel should not starve because they have a job. They have to minister to the Body of Christ and get a salary from doing so. If you are a minister of the gospel focus on your calling and God will take care of you. Jesus asked Peter if he loved Him upon Peter confirming it, He expressly told him to feed the flock. As a minister of the gospel you are called to feed and take care of the flock. When you do so, God will not have a problem paying you. A laborer is worthy of his wages! And remain in the same house, eating and drinking such things as they give, for a laborer is worthy of his wages. Luke 10:7 As a minister, give yourself to prayer and the Word, minister to the flock and do the work of an evangelist, that means win souls. God always takes care of people who win souls. You don’t have to be poor as a minister. If you want to live in abunda
