READ: 1 Timothy 6:11-14
“I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have ke pt the faith.” – 2 Timothy 4:7
God’s Word is very clear that we are to war a good warfare and fight a good fight! War involves a lot of killing, sorrow, sadness and death. War is known as one of the most terrible things that can happen to men. War is therefore rarely associated with God. How could God ever be involved with a war? How could God want people to die? Does God want to kill people? Does God want to harm people? Certainly not!
The rise of an enemy that needs to be crushed is what brings about war. God wages war in a righteous way and crushes His enemies. As Christians, we have an enemy that needs to be crushed and beaten. As ministers of the gospel, we have even more enemies and need to know how to overcome them, crush them and wipe them out.
The Scripture says, “And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war” (Revelation 9:11). There is a godly way to make war. There is a wise way to wage war. God wants you to wage war in His way and in His wisdom.
Learn how to wage war in a godly, spiritual and wise way. Anyone who thinks we are not at war lacks understanding. Satan would like you to have the mind that we are living in peace under the Prince of Peace. Satan would like you to think there is nothing to worry about. But God’s Word is very clear that we are at war.
