The word "fight" rarely summons up a positive image in our minds: when students fight, it breeds chaos; when family members fight, it brings alienation; when friends fight, it brings sadness.
For those in the educational arena, you may be fighting fatigue or fighting the urge to give up on that last student who never quite reached his or her full potential.
Yet, as Christians, we are expected to fight--fight the enemy, fight our sin nature, and fight for right.
Amilliah Kenya, local author, tells us how: In her book Prayer and Spiritual Warfare, she instructs Christians how to develop and implement the trained soldier's qualities of endurance, efficiency, and effectiveness in order to gain victory over the unseen, but very real enemy...With powerful examples of irresistible Christian love and fervent prayer, Amilliah encourages us to utilize God's Word as our chief weapon of warfare. Dr. Kenya writes: "The Word of God is the most powerful weapon ever known to change man...that formidable artillery so efficacious that no giant in the name of Satan can withstand it."
As we finish out the school year, let's make sure to armor up since we know the enemy would love for us to leave feeling defeated and deflated. Yet God, who called you to this mighty and important work, has promised to be with you and to equip you for everything He asks you to do, including fight!
Take a few minutes to watch this video and be reminded of the armor of God provided for you, so that you may be enabled to fight -- His way!
The battle is His!
