TOPIC: THE SONS OF GOD ARE CREATED TO CONQUER PART 3
WHO ARE THE SONS OF GOD?
§ The sons of God are those who have received Christ Jesus as their Lord and Saviour through faith.
But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on
His name:…[John 1:12]
§ It is the son of God that is created to conquer every wars and battles and the world through faith.
For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus….[Galatians 3:26]
WHAT ARE YOU TO DO TO CONQUER?
1. By doing God’s will.
§ Believe in Jesus Christ
§ Abstain from sin
WHAT IS CONQUERING?
· To conquer means overcoming or taking control of a place or people by military force.
· It also means climbing a mountain successfully or having victory over your challenges.
[Revelation 6:2] ….” And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer. “
Until you are empowered spiritually, you cannot conquer.
[KEY POINTS]:
§ We are called to be.
[1 John 3:1] … Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not.
§ We should be like Him when He appears. Genesis 1:26
“And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.” … Gen.1:26
§ We are Gods on the earth
Psalms 82:6 … “I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High.”
HOW DO YOU CONQUER YOUR ENEMIES?
1. By knowledge: We need the knowledge of God to tackle every circumstance in life.
“Proverbs 11:9…. An hypocrite with his mouth destroyeth his neighbour: but through knowledge shall the just be delivered.“
§ Knowledge is a strong weapon of victory in the hands of every believer that has it. This knowledge can only be found in His [God’s] Word.
“Psalms 119:130….. The entrance of thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding unto the simple.”
§ Knowledge is what the devil and his agents are afraid of in the hands of believers.
[Hosea 4:6-7 ……My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.
Vs 7: As they were increased, so they sinned against me: therefore will I change their glory into shame.”
§ Knowledge is very hard to get because many people don’t want to learn/study the Word of God but seeking for material things. Knowledge is good and sweet when you have it but ignorant is bad and evil when you lack knowledge.
“[2 Timothy 2:15 ….Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.”
2. By the mystery of fellowship: There are battles you cannot fight alone. The Bible talks about where two or three are gathered in the name of the Lord, He is there is their midst [Matthew 18:20] …… also “….that one shall chase a thousand; but two shall put ten thousand to flight’.
“Hebrew 10:25…. Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.”
“Proverbs 27:17….Iron sharpeneth iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend.”
§ The Mighty God dwells in the midst of His brethren fellowshipping.
“[Zephaniah 3:17 …..The LORD thy God in the midst of thee is mighty; he will save, he will rejoice over thee with joy; he will rest in his love, he will joy over thee with singing.”
“Matthew 18:20 …..For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.”
§ The place of fellowship is a place of power. That is why the devil is always angry about the Assembly of God’s people. And he will come with offence, discouragement like since….”since you’ve been going to church, what good thing has it benefit you”? You even do better without church.
§ Do not joke with the place of fellowship. Create time for fellowship with God like [worshipping, reading of the word, fasting and prayers]. Communicate with Him daily and let there be this relationship, this intimacy with Him always.
§ For this is a place where God’s blessing is guarantee.
“[Psalms 133:1-3….. Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!
It is like the precious ointment upon the head, that ran down upon the beard, even Aaron's beard: that went down to the skirts of his garments;
As the dew of Hermon, and as the dew that descended upon the mountains of Zion: for there the LORD commanded the blessing, even life for evermore.”
3. By the mystery of power of agreement: Agreement is a very strong tool in the hand of believers. You must first agree with God (being sinless).
“[Amos 3:3……Can two walk together, except they be agreed”
§ For God does not answer the prayers of a sinner Matthew 18:20.
§ Agreement cannot function without unity and forgiveness. Genesis 11:1-8
“Gen.11:1-8…….”….vs4…..And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth. ………”
4. The mystery of honour: Until you honour and appreciate the grace of God upon the lives of others and God’s servants, the grace of God upon their lives can never work for you.
“Psalms 49:20 …..Man that is in honour, and understandeth not, is like the beasts that perish.
“2 Kings 3:11 ……But Jehoshaphat said, Is there not here a prophet of the LORD, that we may enquire of the LORD by him? And one of the king of Israel's servants answered and said, Here is Elisha the son of Shaphat, which poured water on the hands of Elijah.
DEALING WITH THE ENEMIES WITHIN REQUIRES YOU TO HONOUR THE FOLLOWINGS SET OF PEOPLE
But who are you to honour?
When you are fighting battles, we need to tackle every loop holes at home and fight all enemies within; it could be anybody or anything. It can be offence from husband, wife or children and many others. We are told that the devil is an accuser of brethren; he can come in any angle to resist and watered down our prayers. So we are to consider the unlisted points to tackle him when he comes to our homes. …..The prince of this world came to Jesus and found nothing against Him…”
a. You are to honour your pastor
“Ephesians 6:1….”Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right.”
“1 Samuel 9:7 …. “Then said Saul to his servant, But, behold, if we go, what shall we bring the man? For the bread is spent in our vessels, and there is not a present to bring to the man of God: what have we?..”
b. Honour your husband and husband honour your wife: These are the ways to conquer the enemy because there are enemies within.
“Ephesians 5:21-33 ……’’ Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God.
Vs 22: Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord.
Vs 23: For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body.
Vs 25: Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;
Vs28: So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself. ………”
See also Colossians 3:18 - 19
c. Honour your parent:
“Ephesians 6:2-3…… “Honour thy father and mother; which is the first commandment with promise;
That it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live long on the earth.
d. Honour your children:
“Ephesians 6:4 ….. “And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the
Lord.
“Colossians 2:21 …… “Fathers, provoke not your children to anger, lest they be discouraged.
CONCLUSION
You are born to conquer and until you fight, you cannot be called a victor and a crown of victory cannot be given to you.
Life itself is a battlefield and not a fun fare. It is either you killed or be killed. If you are not ready to fight do not enter the field to avoid being among casualty.
Don’t forget that generals of army are known by their scars and experienced they have during their wars and mission. These scars are what they use to know their impact in service. So fight. Never you go into a place of prayer but fold your hands and be observing the atmosphere especially where deliverance prayers is ongoing.
Because you’ll go home with loads that wasn’t yours; and whenever and wherever you hear prayer that concerns what you are going through especially “dealing with foundational powers, evil patters, delays in marriage, cycle of death; I advice you stop and join an pray such prayers with all tenacity and passion even if it not your church or denomination. Don’t forget you will not enter into heaven because you are worshipping in a certain denomination.
God bless you.
