“Any
war against the truth and godliness is against God and the result is decided in
advance – defeat for those involved. That God ever allows (allowed) war against
himself (his church and the truth) is to permit the limited and unwise man to
show his rebellion and disobedience. Why? No one can fight (or has fought)
against his creator and prospered. The results of such wars are decided in
advance and God has always chosen the battle axe to execute such projects,”
said the Director of Sunday School, Christ Apostolic Church Worldwide, Pastor
S.O. Aluko.
Pastor
Aluko stated this on Wednesday March 6, 2019 while ministering on the topic “Holy Spirit; Prerequisite for God’s Battle
Axes” at the “2019 National Leadership Retreat” organized by CACYOF
National held in Ibadan Oyo state.
Citing
2Chr. 13:12 and Psalm 6:7, 1, the Cleric said that God is known as the lord of
hosts and it is unthinkable that God the creator would lose a battle.
“Losing
a battle against who or what? Yes, He has never personally come down physically
to fight his battles, most of the time, He uses men who have been created in
his image and likeness and who have been recreated by his word and Holy Ghost.
Yes, battles against God and godliness continue, who are his battle axes? This
is the challenge in this great gathering. God has used various persons and
objects as his battle axes in the past. Wars continue till Jesus Christ comes
back when rebels and rebellions activities would be permanently crusted,” he
noted.
Pastor
Aluko further noted that whenever any nation, family, individual, organization
chooses to fight against God, they should be told that they have lost the
battle before it commences.
According
to him, the battles for the believers in the contemporary world are internal
and external, stating that the internal battles are arrogance, politicking in the
church, God fatherism, family disintegration (divorce, polygamy, infidelity), another
gospel which is no gospel, abandonment of God-given heritage, no time for
divine things (shallowness) and the desire for independent ministry.
He
said the external battles are idolatry, cultism, corruption, mad desire for
riches/money, misplacement of priorities and submission to questionable God-fathers
among others.
