Strengthen yourself through Holy Bible

Why in this world there are still so many Christians who are afraid and worried of doing a task? The answer is because we are still not fully dependent on Christ and His Word. We have faith in Christ but this faith is weakened by the challenges we faced while doing tasks and by the constant questioning of our abilities when problems occur. In addition, it also makes the faith powerless. This power is the ability to stand by faith in Christ and the power to struggle to face the challenge. If we do not have this power, we become Christians without the ability to do something, in other words, a loser Christian. Do you want to become the loser Christian or the Christian with the power to do something?

If you want to become the Christian who is capable of performing a task, proceed to the next paragraph.

If you want to become a loser Christian, close and delete this. Do whatever you want. However, if you continue to be a loser Christian, you will be leading a meaningless life.

To those who want to be Christians, who are capable of doing tasks, refer to Ephesians 6:10. In this verse it writes “Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power.”


The verse above is one of the messages from God ultimatums through Apostles Paul. This is not only for the Ephesians church at that time, but also for all of us that live till the time of the end.

Who can help us to be strong in Christ? Is it our friends, our parents or maybe our neighbors? No. The answer is ourselves; we are the ones who can choose to become strong in Christ or no. Our friends, parents or neighbors can only give us support. In His words, they are filled with all the spiritual power of God. If we choose to make us strong through Him, we can overcome every challenge we face in life.

We all know who always make us stray away God. We do not have to mention it since everyone knows about it. The answer is obviously Satan. He keeps on trying to make us stay away from God by poisoning our minds using sly methods. Do you still remember how Satan tries to tempt Jesus and make Him fall into the sin? If you forget, open your bible and read Luke 4:1-13

In those verses, Jesus rebuked all the Satan’s ideas and opinions. Jesus always says “there is written”. It means that all the power Jesus has for all God’s children have already been written. It is important to have Word of God in a Christian life. Other than Word of God, we can also obtain the power of Jesus Christ which is only after the Holy Spirit come upon us and fill our lives (Acts 1:8)

Do you know what we, as the God Children, can do to rebuke all Satan’s sly methods? It can be found in the Ephesians 6:11 “Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes.”


When Apostles Paul wrote this verse, he imagined of one powerful Romans soldier wearing full war armors. This means that our defense is the entire God’s armor and not only some or half of the armor. We can’t say: “I just wear the shield only” or “I already have all the Holy Spirit power and that’s enough for me”; this is what a loser Christian will think of. When we are in the army, we must obey commands from our leader, Lord Jesus Christ. Do you think it is possible for a soldier to go to the war without any war armor? The answer is that it is impossible because the soldier will be attacked and killed. Likewise, if we as Children of God do not use any God’s armor, we will be easily attacked by Satan.

In reality, Satan does not have any power because nobody is more powerful than God. Thus, Satan can only try to influence us and once we open our life to welcome in Satan, our life will be complicated by him and till then, do not be baffled by your life. Satan is a faker, a liar and a father of the liars who makes us think that our relationship with God is good but at the same time, we are experiencing failures and nearing death.

Thus, it is important for us to surrender 100% of our lives to God, and together with Holy Spirit Guidance and Word of God which is used to guide our lives. We can then become Christ soldiers armed with full God armor who has a fear for God and also become powerful people in God’s authority. To face this life, we must have powerful faiths to make us strong and to end the battle with Satan. Also, because of the Christ in us, we are able to succeed in the tasks and things we do in life.

Nb: Become strong in God’s authority power.
