Divine weapons may appear so ordinary that enemies often belittle and despise them, however, to their detriment. Examples of such weapons in the Bible include the rod of Moses in Exodus 14:13-16, the shout of Hallelujah that brought down the walls of Jericho in Joshua 6:20, prayer and praise that caused the chains of Paul, Silas, and all the other prisoners to be broken (Acts 16:25-26), and many more. These examples show how divine weapons that seem unimportant to the enemy were deployed to accomplish great victories for the people of God.

We also have clear examples of what happens when children are used to symbolise divine weapons. Psalm 127:3-5 says:

Lo, children are an heritage of the Lord: And the fruit of the womb is his reward. As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; So are children of the youth. Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them: They shall not be ashamed, But they shall speak with the enemies in the gate.

The above passage confirms that though children have biological parents, they are of divine origin. Children are compared with arrows which require much skill, craftsmanship, and training before they can be used effectively. So also, children need the knowledge of the word of God, good education, discipline and godly upbringing, to assume the leadership positions that God has in store for them in life.

The passage further tells us that they shall speak with the enemies in the gate. In Bible days, the city gate was like a public square, the gathering place where elders sat to settle disputes, render judgment, and make important decisions. Boaz settled the issue of his marriage to Ruth at the city gate in Ruth 4:1-6. Parents of godly children have nothing to be ashamed of, they can move about with their heads held up high at any public gathering. Godly children are indeed weapons in the hand of God.

You folks like imbibing lies like you can't get enough of them. God Almighty cursed child-bearing in Genesis 3 vs 16 meaning your children are equally of this world and not of the Kingdom of God. When they are born, they are born of the clay of this world and when they die, outside of God, they are returned to the dust/clay of this world.

16 Then God said to the woman, “I will cause you to have much trouble when you are pregnant. And when you give birth to children you will have much pain. You will want your husband very much, but he will rule over you.” - Genesis 3 vs 16

There is nothing "divine" about them from their birth until their death.

1 If it is not the Lord who builds a house, the builders are wasting their time. If it is not the Lord who watches over the city, the guards are wasting their time.
2 It is a waste of time to get up early and stay up late, trying to make a living. The Lord provides for those he loves, even while they are sleeping.
3 Children are a gift from the Lord, a reward from a mother’s womb.
4 A young man’s sons are like the arrows in a soldier’s hand.
5 The man who fills his quiver with sons will be very blessed. He will never be defeated when he opposes his enemy at the city gates - Psalm 127 vs 1 - 5

Your children are gifts from God much the same way rain is a gift from God. They are no weapons you claim. Ask Samuel, Eli, Solomon — the one who wrote this very psalm —, his father David... they will tell you that children are nothing like "Divine" weapons. Rather, they are just the temporary joy you can have on this earth and nothing more.

Stop allowing men like this adeboye fill your heads with lies that have nothing to do with God.

Here's a simple question for you. Which of the passages I quoted from did I translate for you?

■ Did God not curse the process of child-bearing in Genesis 3 vs 16 rendering all that has to do with children of this world and not of the Kingdom of God which you lot like to label "divine"?
■ What Solomon wrote in Psalm 127 vs 1 - 5 does it in any way suggest that God changed His mind about what He said of all men being born of dust of this world — not "divine"?

Please provide a simple yes or no answer to both of the previous questions abeg so we understand who exactly is giving you this satanic translation.

2. Are you joking? I didn't write what is written in Genesis 3 vs 16 so why do you feel the need to lampoon me for this information that has been available to even you for at least 2000 years?

I understand that every one born into this world is evil as a result of the fall Rm 3:23. Is what you are trying to potray ??if yes then we are on the same page ,but if you are only trying to quote this your Gen 3 as text ??let me hear from you

1. God did not say everybody born into this world is born evil. Rather, we are all born removed from God— of this World and not of the Kingdom of God aka not of the "divine" — as a result of being born via God's curse in Genesis 3 vs 16. That is what it says.

2. The same way marriage which was also cursed by God in Genesis 3 vs 16 there was made of the world of men and not of the Kingdom of God, so also your kids are of your choices and the world of men. So, the idea that your kids are some sort of "divine" weapon is born of lies. Simple!

1. Do you realize that nowhere in Scripture did Jesus Christ ever state that the Holy Spirit aka the Spirit of Truth was supposed to illuminate scripture to anyone - John 14 vs 15 vs 26 & John 15 vs 26 - 27 & John 16 vs 4 - 16. As a matter of fact, what Jesus Christ made clear is that only those who have through continuous submission and obedience to His teachings and commandments — God's Truth — and have been set free from slavery to sin by God's Truth goes on to become Sons of God, vessels that are worthy — holy— enough to have the Holy Spirit in their lives - John 8 vs 31 - 36 — those who are unholy and unrighteous as result aka in the world cannot have Him.

So, think carefully! How does a sinner whose sins keep Him from being in communication with the Holy Spirit aka the Spirit of Truth go about obtaining understanding from the same Holy Spirit? Don't you how what you lot continue to claim — in bold — is in fact impossible for all to do?

2. God's judgment in Genesis 3 vs 16 - 24 was not on the world but on mankind — Humans — so let's not try to twist what is in fact written to say what is not. Jesus Christ was born of spirit AND flesh since He had to be a descendant of David. So, since Jesus Christ was born of the cursed flesh, are you insinuating then that Jesus Christ was also born a sinner from His mother's womb? Are you saying that Jesus Christ was never really in fact sinless as is claimed? Use your big brain to explain that one, intelligently, mind you!

3. In Isaiah 53, you are told by the prophet how like everyone born into this world, God's servant had to humble himself in suffering and obedience in order to do His Father's Will and become the worthy vessel to be used by the Father. By insinuating that Jesus Christ, God's servant, was not equally removed from the Father as a result of the curse on childbearing like everyone else was, are you saying that Jesus Christ had no reason to endure all that suffering to become the vessel of the Father wanted Him to be?

4. Which God is raising this army you speak of? Does Jesus Christ who instead said that He will return to judge the goats and sheep in His kingdom at the end know if this army you claim your god of religion is raising? That is Jesus Christ's description of the end time.

By the way, you seem to know a lot more about the workings of the character called Satan than you do the Truth of God and Jesus Christ, how come?
You religious people like to ramble no be small.

1. My guess is you claim to be at least born-again, what proof do you have that you are - John 3 vs 1 - 21? What is the cross that was given to you by Jesus Christ - Matthew 10 vs 37 - 38? Let us know that you are at least saved from the condemnation of sin aka Death.

2. According to Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit aka the Spirit of Truth is actually another Helper and He is available only to those who have attained the status of Holiness — Sons of God— through continuous submission and obedience to the teachings and commandments of Jesus Christ - John 8 vs 31 - 36 & John 14 vs 15 - 26 & John 15 vs 26 - 27 & John 16 vs 4 - 16. So, am I to believe that you already attained Holiness in Jesus Christ since you keep speaking of the Holy Spirit? If Yes, then you should have no problem telling us of the proof that was given to you when you first became born-again, right?

3. You called me small brain, now you claim I do brain analysis of scripture. Try to stop jumping all over the place abeg! So, far, all you have shown you are capable of is quoting verses out-of-context without a clear understanding of contextual application yet you want us to believe your brain is big and you have the Spirit of Truth aka the Holy Spirit living inside of you. Is that right? Notice the contradictory circumstances you keep creating.

4. It Interesting is how you continue to render meaningless the Word of God. When Jesus Christ said in Matthew 7 vs 6 not to cast your treasures to the pigs, He actually meant you are not to do your giving to those who already have —pigs are greedy — like your churches and pastors.

And try this time to make sure to answer the questions asked abeg!
