THEME : SPIRITUAL WARFARE 

Key Scripture: Ephesians 6:10–18

"Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil." — Ephesians 6:10–11 (NKJV)

INSIGHT 

The Christian life is a spiritual battle. Although Christ has already defeated Satan through His death and resurrection (Colossians 2:15), believers must enforce that victory through prayer, faith, obedience, and the Word of God. Spiritual warfare is not fighting against people but against unseen spiritual forces that oppose God's purposes (Ephesians 6:12). As children of God, we have been given authority in the name of Jesus Christ to overcome every power of darkness.
