God is Faithful

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

God does not fail, has not failed and will not fail. That is the testimony of the saints in the Bible and it is one of the cardinal teachings in the Bible. Please see Numbers Chapter 23 verse 19. David was a man after God’s heart, was anointed as King of Israel when he was still a teenager, experienced challenges that could have made him doubt God, the word of God and promises of God concerning him; yet David held on to God.

As a young man, God used Him to defeat Goliath and because the women of Israel sang praises of David, the then ruling King of Israel, Saul became envious of David and made several attempts on the young life of David. Consequently, David became homeless and had to live among the Philistines, ironically among the kinsmen of Goliath whom he killed. Eventually, Saul was killed in battle and after a battle with the surviving sons and relatives of Saul, the Israelites came together and crowned David king of Israel. Please see 1st Chronicles Chapter 12.

Renew Your Mind

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

Man is a spirit, has a soul and lives in the body – inside the soul is the mind, will and emotions (the will for decisions, the mind for processing and analysis (Deuteronomy Chapter 30 verses 19 to 20), the emotions for expressing feeling. The mind is the seat of reflecting consciousness, faculty of decision, making judgments, and gaining understanding. The mind is also the place of conviction – Matthew Chapter 11 verse 28.

That is why any form of satanic captivity starts in the mind. The devil took Eve captive by muddling up her mental processes to the point where she became uncertain of the exact command by God and consequently disobeyed God. The devil was able to convince her that God was economical with the truth – a lie from the pit of hell (John Chapter 8 verse 44). The devil made Eve believe that God did not want them to be like Him which was why He asked them not to eat of the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. The devil attempted this evil game with Jesus Christ at the temptation but Jesus Christ overcame him with the truth of God’s word and consequently gave us victory over every lie and deception of the enemy. Please see 1^st John Chapter 3 verse 8, John Chapter 10 verse 10, Matthew Chapter 4 verses 1 to 11, and Luke Chapter 4 verses 1 to 14.

The devil launches mental sieges to blind the minds of people to the truth of the Word of God. (2^nd Corinthians Chapters 3 verses 14 to 18; 4 verses 1 to 6; 11 verse 3, 1^st Timothy Chapter 4 verses 1 to 3, 2^nd Timothy Chapters 3 verses 1 to 9, 13; 4 verses 3 to 4, Titus Chapter 1 verses 9 to 16, 1^st Timothy Chapter 1 verses 3 to 4, Proverbs Chapter 26 verse 28). The satanic tools of mental sieges include lies (John Chapter 8 verse 44), deceptions, distorting the truth (Genesis Chapter 3 verses 1 to 13), unbelief, fear, worry, anxiety, disillusionment, depression, craftiness, deceit (2^nd Corinthians Chapters 4 verse 2; 11 verse 3), flattery and lack of understanding. Because the mind is a battlefield, a place of strategic spiritual warfare, satan uses it to make man displease God. The mind has the tendency to be blinded by satan in order to block the blessings of God from your life.
