[biblegateway passage=”1 Kings 3:1-5, 17-27″ display=”1 Kings 3:1-5, 17-27″], [biblegateway passage=”Matthew 16:17-18″ display=”Matthew 16:17-18″]
A king is sovereign, he does not consult with anyone to make a decision. The influence of spirits is very essential in warfare. Therefore in our advancement in the kingdom, we must understand that opposition will rise up as forces against the movement. However, Jesus has promised that despite these oppositions we will prevail.
[biblegateway passage=”Revelation 12:3-4″ display=”Revelation 12:3-4″] – There are deployments of forces against every birthing of the spirit. Hell is not a dimension of the high places but of beneath. However, stars are from above. Stars represent spirits. Hence, when the fullness of what God is about to do comes to maturity, forces must change. As we learn warfare, we must understand that there are forces that come against the advancement of God’s dealing is us.
[biblegateway passage=”1 Peter 5:5-6″ display=”1 Peter 5:5-6″], [biblegateway passage=”1 Samuel 15:22″ display=”1 Samuel 15:22″]
Your consistent obedience at all times places you in positions of authority to withstand opposition. It is submission unto God that confers authority on you. The development of the building (church) is a working of obedience. The battles you fight are ordered and administered by God. Stubbornness implies self-will. Disobedience will only cause you to walk against God’s order. We cannot operate in self-will and win the battles that are before us and if we are not fighting, we will not advance.
