It is the will of God in Jesus Christ that every child of God be armed with prayer and supplications. 

 1. We are at war. 

2. The enemy we are fighting is not physical but satan and his forces of darkness.

 3. The weapons we must deploy in this war include the shield of  faith-

 by which we must quench the fiery darts of the enemy, 

faith is a defensive weapon but take also offensive,

 or attacking weapons- the nuclear missile, hand grenade, 

machine gun of the  of the Holy Spirit which is the word of God.

 That is why His word says in Colossians 3:16:

 "Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom;

 teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns 

and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.”

‭‭His word also admonishes us in Joshua 1:8:

"This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth;

 but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, 

that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: 

for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, 

and then thou shalt have good success.”

‭‭Armed with the word of God we then need to pray all manner of prayers and 

supplications in the Spirit for all saints but also for people in general

 so that they may come to know the salvation of Jesus Christ.

Point of reflection: 

When armed with the word of God,

 you begin to think like God, as He reveals His ways to you.

 You also build yourself in the faith as faith comes by hearing the word of God. (Romans 10:17).

 Knowing the word of God is therefore at the centre of everything you can do for God. 

The word of God is armour. 

Therefore knowing, memorizing the word of God

 makes you a decorated soldier for Jesus Christ.

 Do you desire that?

Call for Action:

Will you commit to memorise a scripture per day? 

Pick a verse of scripture, read it a few times to yourself and memorise it.

 As you do that and make it a habit by the end of the year, you will have known 365 scriptures.

After that take time to pray- always remember to pray for salvation of souls, 

for the saints and spiritual leaders and also to present your own needs before Almighty God.

When you are ready-

Prayer: 

Heavenly Father, I thank you for salvation through the risen Jesus Christ.

 Thank you for your word Lord the offensive weapon of the Holy Spirit.

 I commit myself to studying your word everyday so that

 I become a well decorated soldier of Jesus Christ.

 In the name of Jesus Christ I pray. Amen.
