The Battle Axe

The battle-axe is an axe specifically designed for combat(fighting). Many are suitable for use in one hand while others are larger and deployed two-handed.
Your axe differs, so also our purposes are different. 

Jeremiah 51:20-23, God said it here that we are his battle axe.
Remember that battle axe is an axe for combat. God knows in this world, we will be made to fight in a way that God will be using us to FIGHT

He is the one in charge of the battle we may be going through but he had made us his weapons of war and we will be used to get the victory

We are sent to this world to come to take over in any sphere because we have the power given to us by the one in charge of the battle. He made us great fighters to fight over whatever darkness of this world, the things not in place thereby bringing victory to his name and to be an overcomer in all. 
Looking at the works of a battle axe, let's see:

Majorly, the work of a battle axe is for fighting and that's what God will have us do because we fight for a lot of things and against some things ( justice, right, salvation, the gospel, some things that don't just come easily, kingdom of darkness)

- As God's battle axe, he uses us to destroy things that can't bear fruit, things not of God. We are really important. Matthew 3:10
-Psalms 35:3- Blocking the way of our enemies, through that bringing light through their salvation

- The battle-axe is capable of cutting off a limb or ahead in one blow...How important we are as God's battle axe
His strength in us just in one fight will give us a lot of victories
But in all of this, let's understand the fact that:

- It is God that made you for him. You didn't create yourself, so your utmost priority must be on the one who created you. Trusting him to lead you and leaning on his words as the leader of the battle. Proverbs 3:5

- Sometimes this axe is usually wielded with both hands. So it occurred to me that, if a warrior wielded this axe with both hands to kill an enemy and another enemy has taken that opportunity to wield his axe to kill this particular warrior. The only thing this warrior can do to avoid being touched is to shield himself from the enemy by using an armour.
What is our armour?

Ephesians 6:13- God is our armour. Leave and surrender yourself to God, letting God serve as your shield of protection, letting his angels build around you camp of fire.

You must never neglect him in any of your battles. His place is very important, we can't overemphasize it.

-Isaiah 41:15-16- God will build us, we will do a whole lot if we have him take his place in us, we will beat down mountains. He has promised us victory even before any battle. Romans 8:37,1 Corinthians 15:57...we have victory through our Lord

- As God's battle axe, you must sharpen yourself spiritually. You don't have to be dull when the one who sent you to fight has all the wisdom you need. The Bible should be your source of light and strength. Get wisdom from God and let Him lead you. James 1:5, James 3:17

7 Reasons why you shouldn't delve into a relationship as a teenager.

Image
Relationships are really sweet. When I say relationship, I mean romance/love relationship. And if you’ll agree, teenage love relationships are usually the loveliest. You guys are still rocking your teen adventure, full of energy and glowing looks. Nowadays, it is somewhat strange to see an average 21st-century teenager who’s never been or isn’t in a love bond. They call it boyfriend and girlfriend and it’s been made so obligatory that there are some insecurities you feel when you are not in one. In my secondary school days, I could remember how guys who had no girlfriend were evacuated from groups in the class. Nobody wants to regard you if you’re not among. So, everyone seeks to have a love relationship even when they are far from the prerequisites. Having a love life in your teenage years isn’t a bad thing to do. Of course, there are folks whose relationship survived the storms and are now happily married. It works, but it’s almost rare. A lov...

Journey With My First Boo 2

Image
We started talking and he went to the issue of kissing but this time, he said he would not force me if I wasn't ready. I was deeply in love with him. (or so you thought) I closed all the windows so no one would see us and I said “Kiss me”. He kissed me and he said “let's have Sex”. {Insert mysterious tune here} I told him I was a Virgin and that there would be blood everywhere and he jokingly said, “how many tanks of blood do you have there?”. He told me there was a way he would do it and everything was going to be fine. I felt that I was ready and I was really going to have sex with him but I remembered something. My elder sisters got pregnant when they were teenagers and I was just 16 as at that time. I told him to stop that I wasn't ready. Then he stopped and told me he was leaving. That was the last time I saw him and the relationship ended. It has been 3 years since then and we haven’t been communicating. You can guess what my age is now, right. I am in my last l...
