YOU HOLD YOUR KEY TO THESE VICTORIES - Rev Joseph Aliyu (JANUARY 26, 2025)

Today the enemies of the church of Jesus Christ are not political or national or ethnic. Paul said, “We do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.” (Ephesians 6:12) Until our King comes from heaven, we wish for the destruction of no man. As Christians we do not kill our enemies, we pray for our enemies, as Jesus taught us to do. (Matthew 5:44) The great battle today is fought not with swords, but with the gospel of Jesus Christ crucified and risen. It is fought for the souls of men. It is fought in the power of the Holy Spirit. It is fought with words of truth and deeds of love and justice. And all of that backed by prayer. The victory will come and will come by prayer. Your declarations matter: 1 Kings 17
