How to beat your adversary!

“For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries shall not be able to gainsay nor resist. “Luke 21:15

You need two weapons to beat your adversary, a mouth and wisdom. You can get both from God.

If you keep quiet in the presence of your adversary, you are in trouble. But when you speak, you must speak right. David defeated Goliath first by speaking against him 1Samuel 17:45-47; Moses spoke against the enemy first at the red sea. Secondly, you need to know what action to take and do it to beat your adversary; that is wisdom. David needed just the sling and the stone. Moses needed just the rod. Both of them acted the wisdom of God and got the adversary beaten.

Are you being confronted by an adversary, ask God for a mouth and wisdom to beat him.

At the edge of breakthrough?(2)

“And when he looked on him, he was afraid, and said, What is it, Lord? And he said unto him, Thy prayers and thine alms are come up for a memorial before God.” Acts 10:4

You can cross every barrier and enforce your breakthrough. The bible revealed what to do to enforce your breakthrough: these are fasting, passionate prayer and dangerous giving.

Cornelius enforced his breakthrough through prayer and giving according to our text. Esther enforced her breakthrough when she and the Jews fasted; she got favour with the king. The widow of Zarephath got her breakthrough through dangerous giving; she and her household survived the famine. Jesus told us in Mathew 6 about combining giving, fasting and praying to get our breakthroughs.

The secret of effective use of these weapons is focus. Determine first your prayer request; it is better if it can be expressed in a single prayer request. Pray that single prayer points throughout your period of fasting and be passionate about it; then go and sow sacrificial seed towards the breakthrough.

I decree your breakthrough in Jesus name.
