*There is no battle that prayer cannot dismantle. As a genuine Christian, be armed with the weapon of prayer at all times.

Beloved, having come this far over many days on this subject of the complete armour of God, it is important to emphasise the last but very crucial action that must be taken. This is, praying all kinds of prayers as stated in scriptures. It is crucial that in putting on the whole armour, your readiness for battle is incomplete when prayers are not included.

1 Thessalonians 5:17 enjoins us to pray without ceasing while Luke 18:1 implores us to pray without fainting and without being weary. This goes therefore to say that a completely armoured Christian should also be a fervent prayer warrior. Prayer is the weapon of a believer in Christ to access the throne of God and ask for grace and mercy in His presence, to overrule contrary verdicts, surmount situations, open doors and bring revolutionary changes to our lives and situations. Philippians 4:6 equally counsels us that"..... with prayers and supplications and thanksgiving, make your request known to God....."

This is what 2 Corinthians10: 3-5 refers to as our weapons of war as not carnal but mighty through God to pull down strongholds, destroy and bring into surrender every force of darkness to the obedience of God. Beloved, as a soldier of Christ, you must know how to pray different kinds of prayers persistently.

I implore you, fellow believer in Christ, to do a critical review of your stand as a true soldier of Christ. Are you really qualified? Has anything gone wrong with your faith level; how about your word power? Are you living a holy and righteous life? Are you led by the Truth or have gone astray into deception or the error of Balaam? You cannot sit on the fence. You are either well enlisted in the Lord's army or you are not. God counts on you. It is never too late for you to make amends so that when you would have wrestled with these satanic powers, you will stand victorious and not fall, in Jesus' name.

Wise soldiers are not just well prepared but equally watchful so that the enemy does not take undue advantage of them. Fellow soldier of Christ, be sober, be vigilant! Watch and pray always!

*ℙℝ𝔸𝕐𝔼ℝ ℙ𝕆𝕀ℕ𝕋𝕊:*

1. O God, arise and make me a prayer machine, in the name of Jesus.

2. I refuse to faint in the place of prayer, in the name of Jesus.

3. O Lord, help me to pray appropriate prayers for appropriate situations, in the name of Jesus.

4. Father Lord, increase my prayer power, in the name of Jesus.

5. Whatever is assigned to kill my prayer fire, die now, in the name of Jesus.

6. I receive fresh power to pray prayers that bring awesome results, by the power in the blood of Jesus, in the name of Jesus.

7. Armoury of darkness assigned to war against me, catch fire and burn to ashes, in the name of Jesus.

THE WORD FOR TODAY!
He shall deliver thee in six troubles, yea in seven there shall no evil touch thee. Job 5:19

TWIDS:
CHARACTER PROTECTS YOUR TALENT:
Many people with TALENT make it into the limelight, but the ones who have neglected to develop strong CHARACTER rarely stay there long.
Absence of strong character eventually topples talent. WHY? Because people cannot climb beyond the limitations of their character. Talented people are sometimes tempted to take shortcuts. Character prevents that. Talented people may feel superior and expects special privileges. Character help them to know better. Talented people are praised for what others see them build character builds what's inside them. Talented people have the potential to be difference makers, Character makes a difference in them. Talented people are often a gift to the world, character protects that gift. No one can succeed with out strong character below the surface to protect his talent and sustain him during difficult times. Character holds us steady no matter how rough the storm becomes.
What exactly comprises character?
1. Self discipline
2. Core Values
3. A sense of identity
4. Integrity
1. SELF DISCIPLINE: The ability to do what is right even when you don't feel like doing it. What we do on some great occasion will probably depend on what we already are; and what we are will be the result of previous years of self discipline- Henry Parry Liddon. The first step to strong character is conquering SELF. I will be sharing other components of Character in our next TWIDS.
