The Strong Man Part 1

By


by Julius King Kwedhi

"But if it is by the Spirit of God that I cast out demons, then the kingdom of God has come upon you. Or how can someone enter a strong man's house and plunder his goods, unless he first binds the strong man? Then indeed he may plunder his house."
(Matthew 12:28-29 ESV)
Most of us, if not all, have grown up with a lie. We have lived by an unspoken rule. We have been taught that anyone who is stronger than you, succeeds much more than you, is smarter than you, has more friends than you, got a promotion that you did not, or have gotten grades in school more than you have then that person is an enemy. Against such a person we must set ourselves to compete and defeat. Nothing can be further from the truth. And if anything at all, Satan has been very successful, throughout the generations, at convincing us that anyone who has more than us should be regarded as an enemy, especially when they have achieved or attained what we desired to have and did not succeed as they have.

I believe it is a trap to live our lives like that, as Children of God. It is a trap to envy a neighbour who has achieved what you have not, and one who has not, by any means, done anything wrong to you. It is a trap to set ourselves as enemies and as competitors against our neighbours who have much more harvest than we have simply because we have less than what they have. I am fully convinced that that is not what God has called us to do. He has called us to a much more higher calling. A calling to live the life that Jesus lived. And Jesus did not live trying to make more money than His neighbour who was a carpenter and made more profit from his furniture than Jesus did simply because.

Now, what does the Bible teach us?

When the Lord Jesus talks about binding the "strong man" He is not talking about just causing havoc for nothing. He is talking about spiritual warfare here. He is talking about conquering our enemies. He is talking about winning spiritual battles that will eventually and inevitably translate into victory over our physical battles. He is talking about winning battles over our real enemy.
Further Scripture Reading:
10 In conclusion, be strong in the Lord [be empowered through your union with Him]; draw your strength from Him [that strength which His boundless might provides].
12 For we are not wrestling with flesh and blood [contending only with physical opponents], but against the despotisms, against the powers, against [the master spirits who are] the world rulers of this present darkness, against the spirit forces of wickedness in the heavenly (supernatural) sphere.
Ephesians 6:10,12 AMP

2 Masters

By
2 Masters Deut. 18:14  -  'For these nations, which thou shalt possess, hearkened unto observers of times, and unto diviners: but as for thee, the LORD thy God hath not suffered thee so to do.   One of the main reasons Saints of God today are not being blessed is because they are serving 2 masters. And when I say blessed, I'm not talking about money! Atheists, agnostics, homosexuals, luciferians, etc. all can have money without being blessed of God, so get that out of your head. We have been programmed to hear the word blessing and automatically reach in our wallets and pockets, but working will get you money. God does not have to shovel out cash because he doesn't have cash, men do! So, work and you will havemoney! But when I say blessing, I'm talking about, your children being free from the devils strongholds, your marriage being sound and loving, your home being free from witchcraft, your possessions being safe from robbers and ...

Be The Difference! Part 1

By
by King Julius Kwedhi "You are witnesses, and God also, how holy and righteous and blameless was our conduct toward you believers." 1 Thessalonians 2:10 ESV We have often heard it said "You can take the boy out of the village, but it will surely prove hard to take the village out of him." But this sounds different to how you usually hear it, isn't it? You are used to hearing it thus "You can take the boy out of the village but you cannot take the village out of him." But the second part of this popular quote is not true because you can take the village out of the boy. But if the boy is making this as his bold declaration that you cannot take the village out of him, then know that you won't. But the mistake we make is this, we limit this principle to the village boy or jungle man scenario only. How about if we apply this same principle to the Church? How about if we, as the Church, make this our bold and confident declaration: "You c...
