2 Cor 2:11 so that Satan will not outsmart us. For we are familiar with his evil schemes.
I was talking to a man recently. He narrated how his wife lost her first pregnancy due to insensitivity and lack of spiritual intelligence.
He worked as a driver with a rich man whose son often took ill. They've been to several places but couldn't find a cure. However, there was a particular hospital they use often.
This wealthy boss consulted around spiritually. He was told his family doctor would present him a big cock but he shouldn't eat it.
Truly, it happened like that and he refused to eat it. The wife of this wealthy boss gave the big cock to their driver, the man who narrated his experience to me.
When he collected the cock, he didn't know why they rejected the gift. He saw it as a good gesture from his boss. Himself and his wife are and enjoyed sweet chicken
The son of his boss became perfectly healthy. Eight months after, as he drove his boss round town, they met the doctor who gave them a big cock. He asked about their son because he hadn't seen him for a while in the hospital.
They told him he was perfectly okay. The wealthy man began to discuss with his wife about how he was instructed not to eat the cock the doctor gave them. This wealthy man didn't know his wife gave the cock to their driver.
Right there in the vehicle, the wife shut the mouth of her husband and changed the conversation because the driver decoded the conversation. They knew his wife lost eight months pregnancy and even helped him financially at that time.
That driver told me he had a dream around the time he was given a cock. He saw a snake wounding around his wife's belly but he didn't pray about it. They lost that baby.
Dearest, spiritual warfare is real but more real is our victory in Christ Jesus. You need what I call "Spiritual Intelligence" not to fall victim of the enemy's onslaught.
Those who don't believe in spiritual warfare or are ignorant about its dynamics often become victims.
I laugh at a generation of people who think Satan has gone to sleep. He is still destroying actively. Can't you see it?
In physical warfare, the military of every nation have a department in-charge of what we call intelligence gathering. They investigate the plans and tactics of their enemy so as to counter it with the right strategy.
They know guns, grenades and bombs are of no value If not used with accurate intelligent information about their enemy.
Some believers are dull spiritually. They lack spiritual intelligence. They eat anyhow, collect any gift items and do things anyhow not knowing certain things have spiritual undertones that may latter affect them in life.
There are spiritual laws that must not be broken. In this warfare, we can't overcome without spiritual intelligence. The world is evil and you need to know what the enemy is doing and how he wants to do it so that you can wage a good warfare.
There are believers who are victims of the dirty dozens of the enemy. They live under a yoke that has become a trend in their lineage and they wonder why their lives remains the same after salvation.
Ignorance kills faster than any disease. If you don't gather information intelligently about the root cause of your challenge and how to do battle, climbing mountains here and there may not help you.
Spiritual intelligence comes in the form of divine instructions and they must be obeyed. If you keep praying and you refuse to obey divine instructions, you'll stay long fighting unnecessary battles.
I know a woman who lost several pregnancies. The Lord revealed that the art work on their t.v.which was a wedding gift should be removed. She did and now she's a mother of children.
Some have in their possession gifts that are bewitched, some have received accursed monies and they wonder why they run into chains of problems.
In our spiritual warfare intelligence gathering, the Holy Spirit is the revealer of hidden warfare secrets of the enemy.
The secret of the LORD is with them that fear him; and he will shew them his covenant ( Psalms 25:14).
Today, ask the Lord questions about why that challenge has lingered for too long. There's a secret He will reveal to you about it. Obey instructions and you'll walk in permanent victory.
The Lord says, “I will guide you along the best pathway for your life. I will advise you and watch over you (Psalms 32:8 NLT).
Father, reveal deep things to me about this battle(... mention name of battle) and show me the way out in Jesus name.
