SPIRITUAL INTELLIGENCE: THE WAR GAME

TREASURES OF GRACE (DAILY DEVOTIONAL)
FRIDAY, 5TH MAY 2017

TOPIC: SPIRITUAL INTELLIGENCE: THE WAR GAME

SCRIPTURE: Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices - 2 Corinthians 2:11

MEMORY VERSE: Ephesians 6:10-12

DIGGING DEEP: There is a weak point in the body of Christ today that I have observed and it is simply that many only crave for power and do not also crave for a deep understanding. Many today, wants God to use them, pour out His power through them while they are oblivious of the Supernatural realm. Listen power without understanding, is power wastage.
First, you must understand that there's a war that is going on, to emerge victorious high level of intelligence is needed.
Secondly, you need to understand who you are,  the arsenals that you have and the volume of authority at your disposal.
Thirdly, you must know how to use your arsenals.
Understand that we are in a battle in which intelligence is needed and this makes you powerful and efficient. Many believers lack Spiritual intelligence and so are unskillful in the face of Spiritual warfare. They are powerful but unskilled so they are not effective. Their state is like that of a knife that is totally blunt. Even though it is a knife, it can't be effective in cutting things hence it's usage is limited.
So to be effective we must grow our Spiritual intelligence. Eve was absolutely ignorant of the devices of the enemy and that was why she fell cheaply to his tricks and manipulation. Our anchor text says that we should not be ignorant of satan's devices. Lets see a few of them:
1. Deception: This is satanic camouflage, he can even come as angel of light but when you are equipped you will identify it's appearance. Revelation 12:9
2. Entangles Believers With Ungodly Friends: Many Christians are hindered in their spiritual growth, by the company they keep and by the activities in which such company engages. 1Cor. 15:33
3. Unforgiveness: One weapon the enemy uses to slam many to the ground. Jesus knew this and so forgave humanity. Unforgiveness opens your heart to satanic spirits of resentment, hate and leads to a whole lot.
4. Occupy you with other things: Today, the devil tries to keep believers engrossed in other matters and make you to loose focus. Understand that occupies a person's time, controls the person.
5. Change your view of God's word: One of satan's trick is to try to give a person a mutated dimension of God's commands so that people become rebels to the word of God.
6. Excuses: Today, many Christians have excuses as to why they aren't fasting like they should, pray like they should, study like they should. Some have a lot of excuses why they don't come for church services anymore. This is satans tool to transplant you from divine presence.
Finally, you don't have to be ignorant, so that the devil won't take advantage of you.

PRAYER: O Lord give me discernment to be able to overcome the devices of the devil.
