PRAISE IS GOOD WARFARE!
TODAY'S SCRIPTURE."This charge I commit unto thee, son Timothy, according to the prophecies which went before on thee, that thou by them mightest war a good warfare;" (1 Timothy 1:18 KJV)

Praises is good warfare! Many christians are ignorant of this revelation and are living in bondage as a result of ignorance . Each time I see people in this kind of situation struggling in the name of spiritual warfare I keep wishing they will just open their eyes and see what the Lord has done.

You are more than a conqueror!Imagine a battle that does not require your fighting and all you need is walk into the battle field with praises and watch your enemies fall at your feet in defeat as a result of your praises. Jesus finished the battle on the cross where He shed His blood to defeat the adversary the devil.

Israel had this kind of good warfare in the old testament.
"And when they began to sing and to praise, the Lord set ambushments against the children of Ammon, Moab, and mount Seir, which were come against Judah; and they were smitten. And when Jehoshaphat and his people came to take away the spoil of them, they found among them in abundance both riches with the dead bodies, and precious jewels, which they stripped off for themselves, more than they could carry away: and they were three days in gathering of the spoil, it was so much. (2 Chronicles 20:22, 25 KJV)

Hallelujah! Can you imagine walking into a battle front and after praising God take enormous overflowing riches as spoils of war? That indeed is good warfare!

In the opening scripture, Apostle Paul's charge for the good warfare is based on
"the prophecies which went before on thee...."

Your praise as good warfare is warfare built on prophecies! That battle of praises Israel went for was a product of a prophecy where God said they will not need to fight in the battle. The instruction was that they should believe the Lord God and be established, believe His prophet to prosper.(2Chronicles20:20).
Immediately,they appointed singers instead of soldiers. Good warfare is based on the word of God,
"We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts:" (2 Peter 1:19 KJV)

The good warfare is based on the word of God and prophecy that has gone ahead of you. A praise warfare begins with knowing that there are prophecies in place concerning every spiritual warfare you face in life. Do not fight like someone beating the air. Be wise,find out what the word of God says concerning your situation and use it for praise. Let your praise be built on the sure word of prophecy and you can be sure of a victorious good warfare.

Tonight's Response.
Find scriptures about the situation you are faced with and use it to praise God. That is good warfare. Praise the Lord!
