KEY SCRIPTURE :1Timothy 1:18 KJV “This charge I commit unto thee, son Timothy, according to the prophecies which went before on thee, that thou by them mightest war a good warfare;”

Apostle Paul charged Timothy concerning the prophecies that the Holy Spirit gave him .He was to organise his life in accordance to these prophecies .In addition to being guided by the prophecies, he was also supposed to wage war by the prophecies.What does this mean ?.The Christian comes under all forms of demonic schemings to hold him down or move him from his place of truth.Satan’s attack may come in any form targeting your confidence in the Lord.The admonishing to wage a good warfare ,is to use the prophetic message in your prayers claiming that whatever God said to you can not be resisted by the enemy.

On many occasions revelations of the prophetic message attracts demons against your life.These spirits come against the prophetic word to make it null and void.Remember that the birth of Moses came at a time when king Pharoah had decreed that every male child born to the Jews was to be slaughtered.Why was such a decree at the birth of Moses? I believe the magicians located the rise of a deliverer being born to plunder the kingdom of Egypt.I believe Pharoah was under an instruction to eliminate that deliverer.The bible said Moses mother saw that he was a goodly , handsome or special child.I believe the Spirit of God began working through the mother and actually protected the child. This was clearly seen through the events that occured at his birth.When the Lord Jesus was born a similar thing was realized by King Herod who got to know that a new king had been born.I may ask at his age and that of the fresh baby , how many years did he have to live before Jesus would grow to take over the kingship, if Jesus’ kingdom was an earthly one? The whole thing was a demonic orchestration to stop God’s agenda from coming to pass

Arch Bishop Duncan Williams shared a testimony about a minister in England who received a prophetic message about a special move of God in his ministry.He said he counselled this minister to go into some days of fasting and prayer to establish that word of prophecy.This man did not do it.He said if God has said it, then he would bring it to pass.Brethren, this brother died and never saw that prophecy come to pass.He should have stood on that word to wage war in prayer to prevent the demonic hosts that were sent to render the prophecy useless.Never assume that if God said it then it is His duty to bring it to pass. Everything that would happen on this earth in the name of God needs our vital cooperation through faith and prayer. Paul calls it waging a good warfare.In Heb 5:7, the Lord kept praying with loud crying and tears so that he would be delivered from death.The father said it but had to pray for it to be established.

THOUGHT: IN THIS LIFE YOU DO NOT GET WHAT YOU DESERVE BUT WHAT YOU DEMAND.
