The Book of Ephesians 6:10-17 advices us to put on the whole Armor of God daily. “Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His Might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. Therefore, take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God.”
-Always focus on the Truth, The Whole Amor of GOD is the Truth.
-The Sword of the Spirit is the Truth,
-The Breast Plates of Righteousness is the Truth,
-Please practice righteousness which is forgiveness, love, kindness, goodness, compassion and so on.
-The Belt of Truth, and the preparation of the Gospel of peace is the Truth.
-Please pursue peace with all mankind. (Do not just say it, practice it).
-Also use the Word of GOD while praying.
-If any bad happens, The Lord will make good out of it, something better will surely come out of it.
-Take a look at Good Friday, Jesus was Crucified, most of His disciples fled, although John, Mary and some others were at the foot of the Cross. If we look at the crucifixion, the Cross, it is like all has come to an end. We would have missed the third day- the Resurrection day-Easter Sunday, the Ascension, and the Descend of the HOLY GHOST. Yes, we would have missed all these glorious events.
No matter what you hear or see, the Truth is the Full Armor of GOD, please put it on daily for your protection against the wolves. Eve was tempted away from the truth, if your Shepherd (Pastor) tries to lead you astray, always focus on the Truth, stay with the Truth.
For example: The Book of Matthew 18:21-35 tells us about the parable of the unjust servant.
The unjust servant was forgiven, but was unjust to his fellow servant. He owed a large sum of money to his master, ten thousand talents according to the Scriptures, which is equivalent to millions of dollars in todays currency, his master practiced righteousness because he totally forgave his servant. But the servant on the other hand, decided not to forgive his fellow servant who owed him but threw him in prison, he failed to practice righteousness. (forgiveness and love)
Jesus wants us to forgive, no matter the offence as GOD The Father has forgiven us. We are not to count how many times since forgiveness is without limit, and “be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you.” (The Book of Ephesians 4:32).
Please “put on Love which the bond of perfection, well pleasing to the Father and receive GOD’s peace. (Colossians 3:14)
We must take the principles from this parable and apply it to our daily lives. The Book of Psalm 45:7 also tells us that “the Lord loves the righteous and hate wickedness.” Also Psalm 145:17, 146:8).
Praise The LORD. Hallelujah!!
