Put on your armour [April 7, 2021 ]

Daily Word

Put on your armour
Isaiah 59:16

And he saw that there was no man, and wondered that there was no intercessor: therefore his arm brought salvation unto him; and his righteousness, it sustained him.

Some people have uncontrollable fear of principalities and powers, other believe nothing like that exists.

As Christians our manual or rules of operation can be found in the bible. Therefore, if the bible says there are principalities and powers, we have to believe it and put on our amour to protect ourselves.

Salvation and righteousness mentioned in the verse above are part of the armour described in Ephesians 6.

Ephesians 6:12-13

For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

The passage above confirms that there are principalities and powers and we need to put on our armour to be able to stand against them.

Apart from salvation which is our helmet and righteousness which is our breastplate, there are other weapons like truth which holds our loins or waist, the word of God which is the sword of the spirit, the preparation of the gospel of peace which is our shoes and faith as our shield. To be able to put all these weapons to work, we need to pray always.
God be with you.

How can I apply the word
To my life?
1. Always bear in mind that to be able to fulfill the great commission of winning souls for God successfully, you need to put on your armour.
2. The armour will help you stand against the fear of rejection, not having enough scripture to build a conversation that will lead someone to salvation etc.

Prayer
Lord, I know I am not much of a fighter help me put my armour on. And when I face the enemy, Lord help that I may see that, It’s You standing there in me and me standing there in You. Amen.
