WHOLE ARMOR 3

Text:  Ephesians 6:13.

For this reason, take up the whole armor of God so that you may be able to take a stand whenever evil comes. And when you have done everything you could, you will be able to stand firm.

 *SHIELD OF FAITH:* 

The next item in the spiritual armor is the shield of faith. As  the name implies, A Shield  is a defensive weapon that protects the body from blows, missiles and thrown objects.

Hence, your shield or defence against the enemy's attacks and missiles is your faith.

Ephesians 6:16 says,  *Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.* 

When you take up the shield of faith, you will be able to quench *all* the fiery darts (arrows) of the wicked. 

Everyday the enemy is shooting darts of doubts, confusion, depression and the likes at you. The only way to quench all these fiery darts is by taking up your shield of faith. This explains why Romans 1:17 says the just shall live by faith. Because without faith it is impossible to please God ( Hebrews 11:6).

To overcome the fiery darts of the wicked and to live a victorious, and pleasing life to the Father, you have to live by Faith.

The shield of faith is a spiritual weapon that protects you from evil and helps you stand firm in your beliefs. It's a defensive tool that believers can use when they face trials, such as doubt, fear, or anxiety. 

1 John 5:4, it says, “For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith”. 


Bible reading:

Ephesians 6:10-18.

PRAYER FOCUS

Father, I receive the grace to walk by faith regardless of the situation in Jesus name.

THE GOOD FIGHT-2

Text:  1 Timothy  6:12   Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses. Another thing to pursue in fighting the good fight of faith is Godliness. We understand through the Holy scriptures that godliness is profitable unto all things.   *For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.* 1 Timothy  4:8.  You will reap the reward of your godliness not only when you get to heaven, but from here on earth. And this is why we are admonished to exercise ourselves unto godliness. (1 Timothy  4:7), because godliness with contentment is great gain.1 Timothy  6:6. Godliness is the practice of conforming to the image of God by reflecting the nature of the kingdom of God in the course of everyday life. In other words, godliness is living and portray...

WAY MAKER-2

Text: Isaiah 43:19 Behold, I will do a new thing: now it shall spring forth: shall ye not know it?  I will even make a way in the wilderness,  and rivers in the desert. God promised that He will do a new thing for you, and that He will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert. He has done this before, and He will do it again even in your own life.  When the children of Israel left Egypt, the Egyptians pursued after them, all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, and his horsemen, and his army, and overtook them, encamping by the sea, beside Pihahiroth, before Baalzephon.(Exodus 14:9). Just like anyone would react, the Isrealites became so fearful because there is neither way forward nor back for them to escape. Before them was the red sea, behind them were the Egyptian armies. They became perplexed and began to murmur against Moses. It is possible you are also in a situation like the Israelites- No way forward, and no way behind. Things may appear like you are ...

BEWARE OF DOGS

Text :  Philippians 3:2. Beware of the dogs! Beware of the evil workers! Beware of the mutilators! Usually, when you see the inscription "BEWARE OF DOGS", you instantly know there's a wild or trained dog around the corner, hence, the need to beware.  However, when God says 'Beware of dogs,' He wasn't actually referring to dogs as in 'animals' but to animals in human skin. Note that this caution was given to believers against other so-called  believers.  That is, some people within the church that we refer to as brothers and sisters are actually operating in the capacity of dogs.Though fellow worshippers in the church are called brothers and sisters, but if they behave like wild animals, know that they are dogs in humans skin- BEWARE. Matthew  7:6 says *Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.*  Essentially, dogs don't have capacity to r...
