WHY WE LOOSE SPIRITUAL BATTLES

We loose so many battles because we don't know what we are dealing with.2Corinthians 2:11 says,
"LEST SATAN SHOULD GET AN ADVANTAGE OF US:FOR WE ARE NOT IGNORANT OF HIS DEVICES".
 The degree of ignorance in Christendom is just alarming.You are fighting an enemy you don't understand.How on earth do you want to conquer such?
Prov.20:18 says,
"EVERY PURPOSE IS ESTABLISHED BY COUNSEL AND WITH GOOD ADVICE MAKE WAR".
No wonder many are living a sorrowful life.When you lack warfare knowledge,you do yourself more harm than good.Jesus said in Mathew 12:29
"...HOW CAN ONE ENTER INTO A STRONG MAN'S HOUSE,AND SPOIL HIS GOODS,EXCEPT HE FIRST BIND THE STRONG MAN!AND THEN HE WILL SPOIL HIS HOUSE." 
We fight what we don't know much about.This is one reason prayers seem not to work.The fire and aggression needed are not there due to ignorance.When you lack proper motivation,you won't take your case serious.
Demons don't understand grammars.Agent of darkness don't respect your status.When your eyes are open to see what is going on spiritually in your life,you will be so sorry for yourself.
Paul said in 2Corinthians10:4,
"THOUGH WE WALK IN THE FLESH,WE DO NOT WAR AFTER THE FLESH"
Many are been oppressed by WITCHCRAFT,MARINE,TERRITORIAL,ANCESTRAL AND OCCULT FORCES and are been told IT'S A TRIAL OF FAITH.ALL THINGS WILL WORK FOR THEIR GOOD.
How many have such work for their good?
You are been tormented by satanic forces and you are told God will do it.
Do what?
Are we that naive that we can't question certain things?If God will do it WHY ARE MANY NOT HAPPY WITH THEIR LIVES?Hosea 4:6 says,
"MY PEOPLE ARE DESTROYED FOR LACK OF KNOWLEDGE". 
I remember the night that agents of witchcraft came to attack me three months ago.The first attack came by 12:30 midnight.I fired back.Came again around past 1.I fired back.The third time they started invoking my kid's spirit.I fired back.I told them "OBA NO DEY GO TRANSFER" i.e A king does not go on transfer.If it were to be before they could have succeeded but not now that I have knowledge.
They came five times that night and I fired them back.They really met their Waterloo with the power of the Most High in me.Stop living in deception and seek for knowledge that can set you free.
Stop been deceived by ministers who are hiding their own battles but tell you Jesus has defeated that puppy.No more battles again but abundant life.Differentiate between THEORY from PRACTICAL.I deal with practical life issues,not sentiments and religious facades or fallacies.
YOU HAVE ONLY ONE LIFE TO LIVE.DON'T PLAY WITH IT PLEASE.Destiny is one time business on planet earth. You are not going to have a second chance to prove yourself again. Wake up to reality.

LIVING BEYOND SELF



                       




 Marriage is a great institution that must be
understood deeply. It is wider than what many have been made to believe. Your concept of marriage goes a long way to determine your joy in it. One great truth I have come to learn in having a successful marriage is LIVING BEYOND SELF.

Living beyond self is simply holding your marriage institution in a very high esteem beyond and above your personal ambitions. It means been prepared to a great sacrificial adjustment in order to accommodate your partner and subsequently your children.

Furthermore, it means been prepared to sacrifice any idea, goal, vision, ambition etc. that would be detrimental to the health and unity of the marriage. In short living beyond self means a personal disintegration of self in order to integrate with your spouse.

Years back, the Holy Spirit told me the number one problem in marital harmony is SELF. Self interest, self centredness, self willed, selfishness etc. Couples must understand why they quarrel often or even divorce is just the expression of self-I MUST HAVE IT MY OWN WAY NOT OUR OWN WAY.

In marriage, when a partner is so full of self, it's difficult for harmony to exist in such a home. That day you said I DO is the same day you lost freedom to total self-expression. You are no longer a FREE ENTERPRISE but a JOINT FREE ENTERPRISE with your partner. Your freedom is now a function of your partner's agreement and support,

The painful truth is this, even though couples have married, they still want to live separately exercising their personal wills and making personal decisions. If you desire such wanton freedom, you don't need to marry. Just remain single and have it your way. There is no way you can do such and enjoy your marriage. The conflicts will be more than your imagination.

Couples must understand the meaning of the marriage rings they put on their fingers. It is a symbol of spiritual, mental and emotional bond between them. It is saying, "I HAVE GIVEN YOU MY LIFE AS YOU HAVE YOURS TO ME ALSO. "If couples understand this simple truth, you won't play with your spouse's life in your hand via living a self-conceited life.

Self equals pride which is the bane of many homes today. WHY DO PEOPLE FIGHT AND QUARREL OFTEN IN THEIR MARRIAGES?One partners decides to put self-interest above the union's interest. WHY DO COUPLES DIVORCE TODAY?One partner decides to do things that are detrimental or against the partner's consent. When you make up your mind to live beyond self, you are prepared for great marital harmony. Whatever you do in the secret or open can have negative or positive impact on you family.

I was looking at my son few two years ago when he was three and I heard the voice of the Holy Spirit saying, "This son of yours is you. He is a projection of you because he came out from you. The life you live will affect him also. If you want him to have a happy future, live that life before him. Mind the life you live in the secret because if it is negative, a familiar spirit will use it to affect his life and future. "That was a strong one to jolt my being to choose to live beyond self.

Are we surprised that many couples' marriages ends up like their parents'?Is the current pattern in your marriage not similar to your parents' own?You need to break that pattern before it ruins your marriage and possibly your life.
I came from a polygamous home. My dad had three wives. Hmm!!!. What a great fit. I grew up with my mum. We visit my dad on holidays. He comes to our house once or twice a month. Spends two to three hours and zooms off. What a marriage!Never knew the love of a dad first hand. I have had to fight against promiscuous thoughts, taking a second wife suggestions or keeping concubines, critical spirit, fault finding attitudes, selfishness, ego etc. in my life and marriage.

Glory!My new birth experience in Christ and my subsequent spiritual growth, knowledge, submission to The Bible's teachings and the Holy Spirit have really helped me. Also, my understanding about living beyond self has really helped me to maintain a stable joyful home.

When you understand that marriage is a divine institution ordained by God you would be afraid of desecrating His holy name in your marital union as a believer. When pride is broken, self becomes weakened. You can have a lovely home different from your parents'. Think about the future of your wonderful kids. Live for them. Above all, live for God and eternity. Your marriage will work if you decide to let go of your acclaimed rights and unite with your spouse to do what is right for the union and not for an individual. It's easy if you will let go of your ego and pride. You can do it today. God help you.
