Spiritual Weapons For Battle
TOWER OF POWER
By Major Gamuchirai Foroma
Territorial Spiritual Life Development Secretary and THQ Chaplain
"For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does. The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ. And we will be ready to punish every act of disobedience, once your obedience is complete."
— 2 Corinthians 10:3-6 NIV
As Christians, our approach to conflict differs fundamentally from the world’s. Recent news from places like Lebanon and Ukraine reveals the devastation caused by physical warfare—lives lost and properties destroyed. However, Scripture reminds us that our struggle is not against flesh and blood.
"For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms."
— Ephesians 6:12
Our battles are spiritual, and we need spiritual weapons.
"Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand."
— Ephesians 6:13
The weapons we use have divine power to demolish strongholds.
"You will never face it alone; the Lord will fight for you."
"For the Lord your God is the one who goes with you to fight for you against your enemies to give you victory."
— Deuteronomy 20:4
We are set apart from the world in our battles. Let us fight through prayer, for if God is for us, nothing can stand against us.

Shock As Two Men Live With One Woman As Wife
TWO men are living with the same woman, as their wife, and the three are sharing the same bedroom at a house in Harare.
One of the men claims his wife of 10 years married another man, while they were still mourning the loss of their child.
And, to make matters worse, she then brought her new lover into their matrimonial home.
Takemore Kagaire told the Harare Civil Court that his wife, Brenda Cheri, committed bigamy when she moved to their rural home to mourn the death of their child.
The three are now sharing the same bedroom that has been divided by a curtain.
Kagaire claimed he is also being denied conjugal rights while Cheri prefers having sex with her new lover in his presence.
“She has been living with her new husband for the past two years and each time I told her I wanted to visit her, she hurled insults at me.
“I was surprised to see her bringing her new lover into our home.
“When I confronted her, she threatened to kill me. She has cut all my lines of communication with her relatives and told them not to entertain me.
“She insults me in front of the children and they are confused as to why another man is staying with us in our bedroom,” said Kagaire.
He added:
“Sometimes, she locks the door, leaving me outside with the children late at night while she goes out to have drinks with her new lover.”
Cheri denied the claims and blamed Kagaire for the death of their child.
She said his actions have prompted her to seek a protection order.
“Kagaire is the one who killed our child and assaulted me afterwards to cover up his tracks.
“I ran away from him after we buried the child because l was afraid that he would kill me too,” said Cheri.
Presiding magistrate Mandlenkosi Ndlovu granted a protection in favour of Cheri and urged the two to resolve their differences.H-Metro
