2 Kings‬ ‭5‬:‭3‬ ‭NLT‬‬ “One day the girl said to her mistress, “I wish my master would go to see the prophet in Samaria. He would heal him of his leprosy.”” This little servant girl shared her faith with boldness and transformed Naaman’s life completely. So what lessons can we learn from her?

Judges‬ ‭5‬:‭6‬-‭7‬ ‭NIV‬‬ says ““In the days of Shamgar son of Anath, in the days of Jael, the highways were abandoned; travelers took to winding paths. Villagers in Israel would not fight; they held back until I, Deborah, arose, until I arose, a mother in Israel.” What makes Deborah spectacular and what lessons can we learn from her life?

Matthew‬ ‭20‬:‭21‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ “And He said to her, “What do you wish?” She said to Him, “Grant that these two sons of mine may sit, one on Your right hand and the other on the left, in Your kingdom.”” ‭‭ Mrs Zebedee would stop at nothing to get the best for her sons. What a mum!

Acts‬ ‭16‬:‭2‬-‭3‬ ‭TPT‬‬ “Timothy was well known and highly respected among all the believers of Lystra and Iconium. Paul recognized God’s favor on Timothy’s life and wanted him to accompany them in ministry...” ‭‭ Timothy was Paul’s protege and at the time Paul met him, he was still young and probably still a teenager. Yet Timothy was well known and highly respected among the believers. What cou...

Out of her own need and pain, Hannah positioned herself to meet the need that was uppermost in God’s mind by giving up what was most precious to her. How many people can do what she did?

Hebrews‬ ‭11‬:‭24‬-‭26‬ ‭NIV‬‬ says “By faith Moses, when he had grown up, refused to be known as the son of Pharaoh’s daughter. He chose to be mistreated along with the people of God rather than to enjoy the fleeting pleasures of sin. He regarded disgrace for the sake of Christ as of greater value than the treasures of Egypt, because he was looking ahead to his reward.” What could have produced t...

At a time when all baby boys were being killed, one mother stood her ground in faith and against all odds, preserved the life of her own child.

In Luke‬ ‭4‬:‭25‬-‭26‬ ‭NLT‬‬ Jesus said: ““Certainly there were many needy widows in Israel in Elijah’s time, when the heavens were closed for three and a half years, and a severe famine devastated the land. Yet Elijah was not sent to any of them. He was sent instead to a foreigner—a widow of Zarephath in the land of Sidon.” What was it about the widow Zarephath that Jesus had to commend her?

The great Prophet Elijah had a woman who God positioned in his life to support his ministry and help him fulfil purpose. Even though we don’t know her name, she is referred to as the widow of Zarephath in the Bible. So what lessons can we learn from her story?

Hebrews‬ ‭11‬:‭35‬ ‭NLT‬‬ “Women received their loved ones back again from death..” The Shunamite woman must have been one of the great women of faith referred to in Hebrews 11 Vs 35. So what lessons can we learn from her?

In 2 Kings chapter 4, the bible tells us the story of a very remarkable woman. And even though her name is not known or mentioned, the bible refers to her as the Shunamite woman because she lived in a town called Shunem. So what is spectacular about this woman?

Hebrews‬ ‭11‬:‭31‬ ‭AMP says “By faith Rahab the prostitute was not destroyed along with those who were disobedient, because she had welcomed the spies [sent by the sons of Israel] in peace.” ‭‭ ‭‭ Who was Rahab and how could someone who was referred to as a ‘prostitute’ be included in the roll call of faith?

Ephesians‬ ‭6‬:‭17‬-‭18‬ ‭NLT‬‬ “Put on salvation as your helmet, and take the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. Pray in the Spirit at all times and on every occasion. Stay alert and be persistent in your prayers for all believers everywhere.” ‭‭ Paul says we should put on the helmet of salvation. What does that mean and how does this armour protect us from the enemy? How can we fight...

Ephesians‬ ‭6‬:‭15‬-‭16‬ ‭NLT‬‬ “For shoes, put on the peace that comes from the Good News so that you will be fully prepared. In addition to all of these, hold up the shield of faith to stop the fiery arrows of the devil.” When thinking about a soldier’s armour, hardly would anyone actually think about their shoes! This is because we’re too busy thinking about the armour that we think are more im...

Ephesians‬ ‭6‬:‭14‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ “Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness,” Soldiers wear a breastplate or a bulletproof vest because it protects one of the most vital organs of the body which is the heart. If a soldier does not wear his breastplate or bulletproof vest, he is prone to a fatal attack because a wound to the heart is instant dea...

Ephesians‬ ‭6‬:‭14‬ ‭NLT‬‬ “Stand your ground, putting on the belt of truth...” The belt of truth holds up our spiritual pants so that we're not vulnerable and fall for lies.

Revelation‬ ‭12‬:‭11‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ “And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony...” ‭ What does this mean and how can we overcome the enemy by the word of our testimony?

The blood of Jesus is a weapon that we as believers have against our accuser, the devil. Revelation‬ ‭12‬:‭10‬-‭11‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ says “Then I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, “Now salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of His Christ have come, for the accuser of our brethren, who accused them before our God day and night, has been cast down. And they overcame him by the...

As powerful as the name of Jesus is, with the ability to move and change things both in heaven and on earth, it is not every random person that uses the name of Jesus that will achieve results. The seven sons of Sceva tried to use the name of Jesus and received the greatest shock of their lives!

As believers, we have access to very powerful weapons that are not physical or human which we can use to destroy the enemy’s strongholds. So what are these weapons that we have at our disposal to successfully and effectively fight our battles?

1 Peter‬ ‭5‬:‭8‬ ‭NLT‬‬ says “Stay alert! Watch out for your great enemy, the devil. He prowls around like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour.” Our great enemy as believers is the devil and in one of our devotionals this month, we actually named him public enemy number one! For us to effectively fight against him we need to know who he is. So what is the devil’s nature or what are his c...

In Mathew 4 Vs 1-11, the devil waged a war against Jesus through different temptations but Jesus fought the battle against the devil and won using the sword of the spirit which is the Word of God. The devil fought a similar battle against Adam and Eve in Genesis chapter 3. Why did they lose their battle?

Ephesians 6 Vs 17 refers to the Word of God as ‘the sword of the spirit’. We know what a sword is used for. It is used to attack and fight against an enemy. Jesus taught us how to fight in Mathew 4 vs 1-11.

In Mathew chapter 17, an interesting incident happened. A man brought his son to the disciples of Jesus Christ for them to heal him of his disease but they couldn’t! How did that happen? What could possibly have gone wrong?

In Jonah‬ ‭chapter 1‬ Vs 1-2, God called Jonah and sent him to tell the people of Nineveh that they were going to be destroyed because of their wicked and sinful ways. But what did the people of Nineveh do to reverse this verdict?
