WEAPON OF THE MIGHTY
Memorise: Blotting out the handwriting
of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of
the way, nailing it to his cross; Colossian 2:14
Read: John 3:1-5, Bible in one year:
Zechariah 9-11, Matthew 15:1-31
God is a specialist in using people who
the world has rejected. He picks up those who have been written off, polish
them and turns them into great warriors of His kingdom. This is to let you know
that it is not over with you yet. As long as you know whose report to believe,
those who have written you off have made their greatest mistake. The name of
Rahab, the harlot whose prostitution business was located where all eyes could
see, was included in the genealogy of Jesus (Matthew 1:5-6). Uriah’s wife, an
adulteress, was also mentioned. This is to let you know that God has a purpose
for each and every one of us. His purpose can only come to pass when we accept
the Lordship of Jesus. The moment Jesus come into your life, He blots out the
handwriting of the past. Your past becomes past and the former sinner becomes a
saint.
David as a weapon of the Almighty God
went and picked five smooth stones when he was to confront Goliath. Not five
regular stones when he was to confront Goliath. Not five regular stones but
smooth ones. Anyone who will become a weapon of the Almighty cannot afford to
be ordinary. God will not use ordinary Christians but smooth ones. It is
interesting to note that when Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego were thrown into
the fiery furnace, the fire refused to burn them because they were special
children (Daniel 3:16-25). They were smooth weapons of the Almighty God. Joseph
refused the lures of the wife of Potiphar because he was a smooth stone. He
said he could not compromise and sin against God (Genesis 39:9). This statement
landed him in prison, yet God was waiting for him there. Colossians 3:5-6 says
this
“Mortify
therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness,
inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry:
for which things’ sake the wrath of God cometh on the children of
disobedience:”
As a weapon of the Mighty, you should be
able to control your body. Anyone who wants to operate under the anointing of
the Most High God must not only love righteousness, but must hate iniquity. To
deal with the Goliaths of this world, you need to become a smooth stone. If you
discipline yourself enough to be a weapon of the Almighty, the enemy will
always fail against you. Allow the Almighty to help you pass through fire. God
is interested in you and wants to bless you. He wants to use you for His glory.
If you permit Him, He will do it. He can use the fire of the Holy Spirit to
burn away any dross from your life so that what remains is pure and smooth.
Prayer Point
Father, I submit myself for purification
by the fire of your Spirit; use me for your glory.
