God’s ENTHRONEMENT ASSEMBLY DAILY DEVOTIONALS.

Topic : Dismantling Strongholds Of The Mind.

Memory Verse :2 Corinthians 10:2. I beg you not to force me to be harsh when I come; for I am sure I can deal harshly with those who say that we act from worldly motives.

Bible Reading : 2 Corinthians 10:3-5 GNB. Key Verse: v5.

It is true that we live in the world, but we do not fight from worldly motives. The weapons we use in our fight are not the world’s weapons but God’s powerful weapons, which we use to destroy strongholds. We destroy false arguments; we pull down every proud obstacle that is raised against the knowledge of God; we take every thought captive and make it obey Christ.

Here we see Paul writing to address issues among the Corinthian believers whom he was nurturing in the faith. Anytime he wrote, he was very strict in addressing issues, but when he was present, he always applied a fatherly compassion in dealing with those issues and individuals. Some people was trying to mistake fatherly love he displayed anytime he was present for weakness. “I, Paul, make a personal appeal to you — I who am said to be meek and mild when I am with you, but harsh with you when I am away. By the gentleness and kindness of Christ. I beg you not to force me to be harsh when I come; for I am sure I can deal harshly with those who say that we act from worldly motives. It is true that we live in the world, but we do not fight from worldly motives.” 2 Corinthians 10:1-3.

Now Apostle Paul was trying to teach us that the work of correction in the kingdom is not about bullying men, but knowing the right approach which is more spiritual than physical. Now, we live in a world that is driven by knowledge. Men can be resourceful or useful tor the level or depth of the knowledge they have in any field in life. Now, one of the things that hinder men from making quality progress in life, especially in kingdom related issues is when men arm themselves with wrong knowledge which makes proud, arrogant and even unteachable sometimes. Such wrong information becomes strongholds in the lives of people holding on to them. A man like Paul in his past was a victim of such (holding on to obsolete knowledge), when he was trying to defend the beliefs of his fathers thereby working against the move of God or persecuting the early church out of ignorance till Christ arrested him to serve, being armed with the right knowledge after his encounter with the light of the world.

Today pray that as many of our loved ones and men around the world who are bound by the enemy through the spread of false arguments, phylosophies and doctrines of men which has kept them in some form of bondage will see the light of the true gospel anywhere they are located. Pray that the Lord will empower his workers around the world who are carrying the burden of spreading the true gospel. Pray that every knowledge, argument, errors from hell will collapse before them as they present the truth to their audience. Pray that the Lord begins to give them results that will cause men to identify with the truth they carry and submit to it. “So when I came to you, I was weak and trembled all over with fear, and my teaching and message were not delivered with skilful words of human wisdom, but with convincing proof of the power of God’s Spirit. Your faith, then, does not rest on human wisdom but on God’s power.” 1 Corinthians 2:3-5.

Prayer :Thank you Father God your Spirit of truth is the Spirit of conviction. Today I pray for every agent of the true gospel around the world. Let every lies and strongholds of wrong information binding men where they are located begin to collapse before them to your glory. Let light prevail over every form of darkness in the hearts of men in Jesus wonderful name…. Amen 🙏🏿.

Yearly Bible Reading : John 12:20-36.
