BIBLE READING: 2 Chronicles 10-12
TEXT: “The law and the prophets were until John: since that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every man presseth into it.” Luke 16 :16.
OFM Rhema For Living 7th May 2023 MESSAGE: Gentleness and meekness are fruit of the Spirit which must be found in children of God. However, some children of God have misunderstood gentleness as demanded by scripture to mean tolerating everything including the enemies that they should get tough with. The Bible says that right from the time of John the Baptist appeared to preach the kingdom of God, obtaining the kingdom of God has required violence (Matthew 11 :11 – 12).
This is so because, just as God has made provision for us in Christ to enter into the kingdom, there is an opposing kingdom of darkness that want to do everything it can to prevent us from accessing the kingdom of God and its benefits. Hence you have accessing the kingdom the enemy.
You are not meant to go softly with Satan and his emissaries, No! (Luke 16 :16). Pressing into a place implies using force, the force of God.
This implies found violent against every opposition. This is why you must be strong in the Lord (Ephesians 6 :10 – 13) so that the enemy would not gain the upper hand and press you out of God’s good plan and provision for your life.
Satan, demons and all that they stand for must be treated violently. Satan is to be resisted (James 4 :7) and demons must be cast out (Mark 16 :17). Hence, all their manifestations in the form of bondages, sicknesses, diseases, sorrows,death etc are to be stopped.
Besides, we are not to take it lightly with the flesh at all, the flesh is an ally of the devil and it does not want to please God but itself. Therefore, no pampering of the flesh; we are to deny the flesh its craving and indulgencies.
PRAYER: My Father! My Father! As I begin to pray, help me never to tolerate nonsense from the devil and his cohorts, but to always deal with them as you commanded.
