In today’s article, we take a step further as we begin to round up the first part of this series: the source and kind of strength we have. Let’s revisit our anchor scripture: “Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might.” — Ephesians 6:10 (NKJV) 1. To Be Strong in the Lord Means Recognising That Jesus Is Lord. This is crucial. Many people see Christ in different ways—some as a healer, deliverer, provider, or even as Saviour. While all these are true, recognising Him as Lord is key to gathering strength for our journey. Our anchor verse specifically says, “Be strong in the LORD.” One reason Christianity today seems to lack the power it had in the early Church is that many want to use Jesus—for wealth, healing, deliverance, or fame—but are unwilling to submit to His Lordship. Let’s consider Peter’s sermon: “Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly that God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Christ.” — Acts 2:36 (NKJV). In the ...

We’ve been discussing The Victor’s Mentality, and this is the sixth episode. In this article, we will take it a step further from where we stopped last article .

In this article, I will share with you what I call The Force of Strength—or if you prefer, The Pool of Strength. Let’s go back to our reference scripture: “Now, my beloved ones, I have saved these most important truths for last: Be supernaturally infused with strength through your life union with the Lord Jesus. Stand victorious with the force of H...

In the last article , I began discussing the first part of the mentality we need to have: Our source of power/strength and the kind of strength we possess. I established that God is the source of our physical strength, mental fortitude, and spiritual power. We need to understand that God is interested in our entire well-being, not just our spiritual life. Yes! You can draw strength from the Lord for your daily tasks. God desires to supply you with strength in your mind , which serves as fortitude to keep you steadfast. When we examine Adam , we see that he named millions of species of animals without stress, He displayed remarkable emotional intelligence . Yet, we often become easily exhausted after accomplishing little, give up quickly, and struggle under tedious circumstances. Sometimes, our minds become cluttered, which leads to headaches and heartaches. But let me tell you this: God supplies strength to endure daily challenges while remaining emotionally and mentally balanced. He...
