The WAR (We Are Ready) Series
Word War 2
Using The Word as a Weapon.
Dorcas, a fair skinned woman of average height, had been diagnosed with PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome) as a young lady and her doctor then had told her that it would be difficult for her to have children on her own. Over the years, before she got married, she had come to accept the diagnosis and had prepared her mind for assisted reproduction.
Some years after the diagnosis, Kelvin, a five feet seven dark and handsome young pastor came along into her life and proposed marriage. Dorcas informed Kelvin of her medical condition but he was unperturbed, fully convinced that the God who brought them together has the ability to override the report of doctors and give them their own children without stress.
Let’s fast-forward a bit.
Five years into the marriage, everything was working well. Kelvin and Dorcas were faithfully serving the Lord together, their businesses were flourishing and God was using them to bless a lot of lives. But they had no child yet.
Though Kelvin’s faith in God was still intact, Dorcas started giving in to the pressures. She started moving from pillar to post. Being a believer, she couldn’t go to any place diabolical but she visited every other place.
She visited every major hospital and fertility center people told her about. Though once in a while when she takes a little break to seek God’s face, she could feel God directing her to His word, but she just couldn’t sit still. She didn’t know how to ‘weaponise’ the word and fight to win with it.
For a couple of years, she toiled with no result, completely ignoring God’s clear instruction for her to sit with His word. She spent millions of naira moving in and out of the country, scheduling appointments with various gynecologists all over and trying out different assisted reproductive technology until she was totally spent and fagged out. She had finally gotten to the end of herself.
In this state of brokenness, she did what God had been instructing her to do for years. She picked up the Word.
Dorcas searched the Bible for every scripture that syncs with her situation, wrote them out, checked them in different versions until she received light. Then, she practically started taking daily dosages of the Word. It was no surprise for her when she was confirmed pregnant after a couple of years because she had come to learn from the Word, that faithful is He who has promised, who also will do it.
This is actually a true life story of a dear woman of God with just some fictional twists here and there. The truth is that no matter what you are currently going through, you can also ‘weaponize’ the word.(Hebrews 4:12) How? Search for God’s promises that relates to your situation and stay on them until your change comes.(Job 14:14). I await your testimony.
2 Corinthians 10:3-4
[3]We are human, but we don’t wage war as humans do.
[4]We use God’s mighty weapons, not worldly weapons, to knock down the strongholds of human reasoning and to destroy false arguments.
