YOU ARE – GOD’S BATTLE AXE: THE CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST – AND TRIUMPHANT IN EVERYWHERE AND IN EVERYWAY!
“Crowns and thrones may perish
Kingdoms rise and wane
But the Church of Jesus constant will remain:
Gates of hell can never
‘Gainst that Church prevail;
We have Christ’s own promise –
And that cannot fail” – S. Baring-Gould.
“But THANKS be to God, who ALWAYS LEADS us in TRIUMPH in Christ, and through us SPREADS and MAKES evident everywhere the sweet FRAGRANCE of the KNOWLEDGE of Him” 2 Corinthians 2:14.
Yea, Kingdoms, Nations, Empires, Politicians, Political and Military dictators, Kings and Rulers that have covenanted with satanic evil and wicked cohorts, have risen and fallen – lost their greatness and collapsed, reigned and died; yet the Church of Jesus Christ, hallelujah, the greatest and only UNPARALLELED force known on earth, beneath the earth and in the heavens, keeps marching on triumphantly in the face of absolute oppositions and challenges; and in spite of all the attacks of the ENEMY and COHORTS on God’s mandate – plan, purpose and pursuit.
“. . . 2 The Lord shall send the ROD of Your STRENGTH out of ZION (THE CHURCH). RULE in the MIDST of your ENEMIES! 3 Your people shall be VOLUNTEERS (WILLING) in the DAY of your POWER; In the BEAUTIES of HOLINESS, from the womb of the morning, you have the DEW (UNCTION) of your youth” Psalms 110:1-3 NKJV.
All simply because this Kingdom’s purpose and cause is of God and it’s an EVERLASTING KINGDOM, that endures and will endure through ALL GENERATIONS irrespective of the challenges, opposition, and difficulties in the pathway.
“Thy KINGDOM IS AN EVERLASTING KINGDOM, and thy DOMINION endureth throughout ALL GENERATIONS” Psalms 145:13.
“For THE KINGDOM is the Lord’s: and he is the GOVERNOR among THE NATIONS” Psalms 22:28.
Therefore, as God’s Battle Axe and Weapons of War, God’s Church in Christ Jesus, it’s time to ARISE and BUILD with that selfless hearts of FAITH, HOPE, and LOVE again, in order to set things alright in the human DECADENCE and PERVERSIONS that we all see EVERY DAY on our denominationised Churches, Homes, Streets, Roads, Governments, Communities and in every place of living and doing life.
“The seventy returned with joy, saying, “Lord, even the DEMONS are SUBJECT to us in Your name.” 18 He said to them, “I watched Satan FALL from heaven like [a flash of] lightning. 19 Listen carefully: I have GIVEN you AUTHORITY [that you now possess] to TREAD on serpents and scorpions, and [the ability to exercise authority] OVER ALL the POWER of the ENEMY (Satan); and NOTHING will [in any way] harm you. 20 Nevertheless do not rejoice at this, that the spirits are subject to you, but rejoice that your NAMES are RECORDED in heaven” Luke 10:17-20 Amplified.
For we as the Church have been given so much tremendous authority and power to bring about the atmophere we earnestly desired to colour our worlds with God’s goodness until Christ Jesus returns for the fulness of our God and well being as Apostle Paul stated in the Holy writ of Ephesians 1:17-23.
WE ARE God’s BATTLE AXE and WEAPONS OF WAR, the Church of JESUS CHRIST with the mandate to be triumphant in EVERYWHERE and EVERYWAY.
CHURCH ARISE – YOU ARE THE CHURCH!
IT’S NOT THE ARCHITECTURAL BUILDING!!
AND AS THE CHURCH – YOU ARE TRIUMPHANT!!!
CONGRATULATIONS – BE BLESSED.

“Jesus came up and said to them, “ALL AUTHORITY (all power of absolute rule) in heaven and on earth has been given to Me. 19 Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations [help the people to learn of Me, believe in Me, and obey My words], baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe everything that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always [remaining with you perpetually—regardless of circumstance, and on every occasion], even to the end of the age” Matthew 28:18-20 Amplified.
