Warfare

"(For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) 2 Corinthians 10:4"  :

The Christian has many weapons to fight the enemy, both within and without. The enemy uses our mind as a field to sow negative thoughts; these negative and unprofitable thoughts fight the good thoughts that the Lord puts in our minds. Some of these strongholds are those beliefs and philosophies we held onto before and after salvation which are not founded on the Word of God. The Christian has many weapons: the Word of God, faith, speaking in tongues, meditation on scripture and confessing them, prayer, etc. These are mighty enough to destroy every arrow and scheme of the devil. Dear reader, have you ever tried these weapons?

His word, your wisdom

His Word, Your Wisdom

(Jeremiah 8:9 NKJV) The wise men are ashamed, They are dismayed and taken. Behold, they have rejected the word of the LORD; So what wisdom do they have?

It is so sad to see God's people subjected to poor standards in life. We see this happen a lot all because many Christians have made light of the most important weapon that heaven has given us, which is the Word of God. You were made to live by the wisdom that is in the Word of God. The world around you should find it difficult to predict you.

Why? Your life is built on the wisdom that the devil is yet to know. The secret to this extraordinary life is available to you. But you will not be able to lay hold on this wisdom until God's Word becomes real to you. Every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God is your source of wisdom. A man of the Word is a man of wisdom.

He has supernatural insight regarding life situations. Be smart. Place a great value on God's Word for it is your wisdom! Don't depend on natural wisdom. In the days we live in, natural wisdom will fail. But wisdom from the Word will always win.
DAILY SCRIPTURE READING:Jeremiah 8

God is Healing our land

God Is Healing Our Lands  by Kenneth Copeland

Shall their unbelief make the faith of God without effect? God forbid.
– Romans 3:3-4

Faith-filled words. That's what changes things. They'll move mountains into the sea. They'll turn sickness into health. They'll turn a sinner into a saint.

They'll also take a sin-ridden nation and turn it into God's own country. That's right. Then, if we believers would back up the prayers we've been praying for this nation with words of faith instead of doubt and discouragement, we'd soon begin to see spiritual resurrection in our country.

God promised us that if we, His people, would humble ourselves and pray and seek His face and turn from our wicked ways, He would heal our land. And let me tell you, there are prayer warriors all over this country (I hope you're one of them) who are doing what that promise requires.

But, even so, you don't hear many people saying, "This is great! God is healing the land." You don't hear people speaking out by faith the promise of God. Instead, you hear them saying, "Oh my, oh my, did you hear what those terrorists are doing?" or some other destructive thing they've seen on television.

Listen, we need to stop preaching what the terrorists are doing and start telling what God is doing! God said He is healing this land.

We must start speaking about this country by faith instead of going around spouting bad news all the time. Of course, that will sound odd to most people. Some of them may even think we've slipped a few cogs. But that's nothing new.

Let me tell you something: One handful of believers who are listening to, trusting in, and speaking out the good news of God are more powerful than all the devils on earth. One handful of believers is more powerful than a whole army of unbelieving doomsayers. The unbelief of the doomsayers will not make the faith of God of no effect!

Tips To Enhance The Quality Of Your Life

Not everyone leads a comfortable and peaceful life. But this need not be the case. If you are also struggling to lead a peaceful life, you can use the following tips for enhancing the quality of your life.

1. Try to remain motivated always
Whatever may be your goal, your passion should be strong. Only then, you will willingly take consistent action. Otherwise, you may get bored soon. One of the steps suggested for having a strong motivation is to keep changing the sequence of doing things. Similarly, try to add novel elements to your activities. You must also be ready to improve upon your knowledge by learning new things, Most importantly, you must be clear about your goals. If you split your major goal into smaller ones and keep rewarding yourself for achieving these smaller milestones, you can always remain motivated.

2. Acquire leadership skills for leading a better life
If you think that since you are working under a manager, you are not a leader, you are wrong. Even subordinates must have leadership skills because you may need those skills quite often. If you participate actively in team or group meetings, voice your opinions boldly and clearly and at the same time, allow others also to voice their opinions, you are proving that you possess leadership skills.
Similarly, try to come up with solutions to the issues you and your group may face. Your solutions should be based on strong and stimulating ideas. Likewise, when others come out with creative solutions, show your appreciation sincerely. This is also a leadership quality. A remarkable benefit of this approach is that you will develop an excellent rapport with those folks. You can expect to have good cooperation from them also.

3. Learn to communicate more effectively
A number of people think that if they possess excellent language skills, they are good communicators. But they cannot be more wrong. Though language skills are important, communication is not just limited to language skills. How you effectively use non-verbal signals is important to be a good communicator. Some of the non-verbal signals are having proper eye contact, understanding the non-verbal signals of others, and using your tone for conveying the right messages, information and emotions with the right emphasis. Similarly, learning to understand the information, messages and emotions of others by reading their verbal and non-verbal signals in the right manner is important as well.

4. Improve the accuracy of your decisions
This is very important for leading a better life. Experts point out that if you use what is known as the "six-thinking-hats" approach, you can view situations from multiple perspectives that include positive, negative, emotional, rational, creative, and intuitive angles. You must also take into account the costs you are likely to incur in implementing the decisions and also the benefits you may derive out of them. Of course, you must check if your decisions will perfectly fulfill your needs.

5. A good memory will also help in leading a better life
Those who have achieved stupendous success in life may have a good memory. Developing such a memory will help you as well. Having utmost focus on the information you gather or learn, rehearsing on the things you learn, and eliminating distractions are some of the ways to develop a good memory.

6. Make wise financial decisions
There are a few key principles that may help in making wise financial decisions. The first principle is that you must begin your investments in savings as early as possible. Procrastination will deprive you of very good opportunities. Committing in advance for parking your funds in worthwhile investments is the second principle and a sound strategy. Thirdly, never allow personal biases to influence your financial decisions.

7. Learn to improve your productivity
Researchers were previously suggesting that multitasking would help but recent studies have revealed that trying to do more number of tasks simultaneously may hamper accuracy, efficiency, productivity and speed. So, focus on one single task and move on to the next one only after finishing the first one.

8. Maintain your health
Eat healthy foods, do your exercises regularly, and have adequate sleep for maintaining your health. Researchers have found that exposure to sunlight is equally important to have good health. Likewise, you must stay away from unhealthy behaviors and habits also.

These tips will go a long way in helping you in enhancing the quality of your life.

Word...

Choose a partner wisely and well. We are attracted to people for all kinds of reasons. They remind us of someone from our past. They shower us with gifts and make us feel important. Evaluate a potential partner as you would a friend; look at their character, personality, values, their generosity of spirit, the relationship between their words and actions, their relationships with others.
