BE STRONG IN THE LORD

In conclusion, be strong in the Lord [be empowered through your union with Him]; draw your strength from Him - Eph. 6:10

The risk of being a half-baked Christian is very high because the devil may throw such fellow into the oven of affliction in lieu of the Refiner's fire. After you might have surrendered your life to Christ, you must work out your salvation to grow spiritual muscle and also become a refined creature, which the devil cannot confine into spiritual prison.

If you are not fervent and hot for the Lord, the devil could make you shiver with fear and dress you down reproachfully. But when you are strong in the Lord, the devil will not consider it profitable to encroach on your territory. Because a man with God is a major general in God's kingdom whom the devil cannot mess up with.

Don't live an average or lukewarm life that will make the devil to exploit and shortchange you of your dignity and royalty. You need to put on the whole armour of God if you want to be strong and do exploit. May the Lord equip and fortify you to become a terror to the domain of spiritual wickedness and to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat that you might have suffered in Jesus name.
