THE WHOLE ARMOUR OF GOD

SCRIPTURE READING - 📖 Ephesians 6:11

“Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.”

Additional Verses

📖 Psalm 22:1-31; John 13:1-20; Ephesians 6:10-18

A soldier going for a battle has to be fully prepared from the skills right up to weapons and attire. Children of God are in a battle in the world for they are not of this world even though they are in it. So as a child of God you should know that you are a soldier in God’s army and you need to have the full armor of God. Paul encourages all children of God to have the full armor of God. Such armor begins with the belt of truth. John 8:32 says, “And you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” The truth which made you free is Jesus Christ. The truth is referred to as the belt meaning that you cannot be without the truth where ever you are. Then comes the breastplate of righteousness; the righteousness which is the nature of God. When you carry with you righteousness it means you have peace, quietness and assurance forever. You are also being reminded to put on your feet the gospel of peace to prepare you to witness for Jesus Christ. Mark 16:15 says, “And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.” The commission was to the disciples that time, but it was also left for you who now believe in Jesus Christ. On this part of the armor many tend to have weaknesses so much that they never witness for Jesus Christ at all. They never prepare for the Gospel of peace, but rather prepare for gossip. Therefore a soldier should always be focused so that he will not be destructed in witnessing for Christ. Have with you the helmet of salvation for this shows that you were saved and given a new life in Jesus Christ. Above all, having with you the shield of faith, for with faith all things are possible according to Mark 11:23. In the battle, the enemy is throwing fiery darts. These can be curses or diseases or other challenges and so the LORD has given you the shield of faith that will quench up all these darts from the enemy. Now that the whole armor of God has been made clear to you, it is useless to put it on when you have fear. Therefore, remove fear from you because you are not alone in the battle but the LORD is with you and the battle belongs to Him. All you have to do is pray always so that your armor is strong and that you will not be shaken. It is the armor of God that distinguishes you from all other people of this world who are dependent on sense knowledge. Alleluia!

Prayer

Dear LORD Jesus Christ, thank You for Your armor. I pray that each peace that I put on, I may apply it strongly within my life, so that when I fight the battle there is no weakness found in me. Let Your armor each day be strengthened according to Your Word. In the name of Jesus Christ l pray. Amen.
