2 Corinthians 10:4 ‘For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;’

DAILY READING; Acts 27:13-44; 1 Samuel 3; Psalm 51

Today, Israel is the Military superpower of the Middle East. Despite its small size as a nation, since 1948, Israel has fielded a frighteningly effective military machine that dominates the Middle East. One of Israel’s feared secret military strategy is what is known as the ‘Samson Option’.
The “Samson Option” is the name given to Israel’s nuclear arsenal. Israel has a plan whereby it would launch a massive nuclear strike in retaliation against any nation that attempts to overrun it.

The name ‘Samson option’ comes from the story of Samson in the Bible, who pushed apart the pillars of a Philistine temple, bringing down the roof and at his death he killed more philistines than he did in his lifetime.(Judges 16:30).
Israel’s stockpile of nuclear weapons is enough to possibly destroy all the nations around them.

For many years Israel secretly built up a massive stockpile of over 400 nuclear warheads, which can be launched with precision from land, sea and air. After consistent attempts by enemy nations to totally annihilate Israel and wipe it off the map, the Jewish nation came up with the plan of the Samson Option.
Though it is something the Israeli government doesn’t openly talk about, yet it is a globally known fact.
The book “Samson Option’ is authored by American investigative journalist and Pulitzer Prize winner, Seymour Hersh. The book’s preface says: “This is a book about how Israel became a nuclear power in secret.’
Indeed Israel’s massive nuclear might is an open secret. It is a knowledge that keeps enemy nations at bay, because they realize that any attempt to annihilate Israel, would probably end up as a suicide mission.

In every confrontation the enemy’s first concern is your power level. The moment he knows you are fully empowered he thinks twice before launching an attack.
The greater the level of your spiritual power, the safer you are. Life is full of constant warfare. We need to be spiritually prepared to always overcome.

We are in the last days which are perilous days. As believers, we are living as sheep in the midst of wolves. To be powerless at this time is a big risk. If you live anyhow, you may end up anyhow.
The battles of life come suddenly and they have no time table. Especially in this season of a global pandemic, where Media headlines daily scream the news of sudden victims and rising death tolls. Certainly, this is not the time for any believer to be spiritually careless or powerless.
You don’t have a spare life. Therefore do all you can spiritually to secure the only life you have in Christ. Don’t waste time on mundane pursuits at the risk of losing your soul.

God has given us all we need to live in victory and dominion. The weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds; [2 Corinthians 10:4]. But we need to engage these weapons through embracing spiritual discipline so as not to become victims.
Don’t become a cheap prey due to failure to pray. Don’t wait for trouble before you begin to travail in prayers. It may be too late then. You prepare for war in the time of peace. Through a life of diligent study of Scriptures, prayers, praise, fasting and consistent spiritual exercises, you build up the spiritual power that can rebuff and devastate any attack.
The truth is that we either pay the price to become victors or fail to pay and become victims. The choice is ours.

Therefore in this season of fasting and prayers, let us receive the grace for fresh fire. May every spiritual laziness and laxity come to an end in our lives. Indeed may our zeal and passion for God rise to a whole new level, launching us into a life of power that will turn us into a wonder.

PRAYER; Lord, please help me to pay the spiritual price to carry Your Power in these end-times. Please destroy every spiritual laziness and laxity in me and grant me renewed fire and fervency in my spiritual life in Jesus Name.
