PUT ON THE WHOLE ARMOR OF GOD (I)

4^TH DECEMBER, 2021

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Romans 4-7

FIRE SCRIPTURE: Ephesians 6:10 – 13

10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. 

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

12 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. 

13 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.

MEMORY VERSE: ” Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might .” – Ephesians 6:10 

MOTIVATIONAL QUOTE:

A disabled person is unfit as a soldier for battle.

PROPHETIC WORD FOR TODAY:
YOU SHALL NOT LOOSE IN THE BATTLE OF LIFE. GOD SHALL MAKE YOU AN OVERCOMER, IN THE NAME OF JESUS. 

THE MESSAGE:

When Adam was created in the Garden of Eden, he was made in the image of God. He was perfect, free from any tendency or desire for evil. His thoughts and motives were pure and holy. He was created in righteousness and true holiness (Ephesians 4:24). It was not inward depravity, but temptation from without which caused him to exercise his free will and disobey the commandments of God.

If we take inventory, every now and then, and look into our own lives and see our own shortcomings and endeavour by the faith of God and the word of God to overcome them, God will put something into us that will make us strong in Him. Often, the trouble with people is that they pamper their weaknesses.

We overcome by resisting our weaknesses, putting off those things that are of the flesh and yielding to the things of the spirit, putting on bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, and above all these things, charity, which is the bond of perfectness (Colossians 3:14). The palm tree grows from the inside: the outer leaves die and the inner leaves come out and are beautiful. The roots of a tree go deep down into the earth and strike the water way down under the ground.

This is typical of a real child of God. His spiritual life is growing through the deep work in the heart that works outward. Many people try to be sanctimonious and humble. The important thing to do is to get the holiness within, get the consecration within and let the root go deep down into the word of God. Then it will work out.

It will be marred fruits, but if it works from the inside, and comes out, then the fruit is perfect service. Prepare to put on the whole armor of God.

PRAYER POINTS:

MORNING

1) Lord, perfect Your purpose and way in my life, in the name of Jesus Christ.

2) I shall not lose the battle against my flesh, in the name of Jesus Christ.

3) The battle of the flesh shall not conquer me, in the name of Jesus Christ

EVENING

4. I will not be a casualty on the battlefield of life in the name of Jesus Christ.

5. I break the teeth of the enemies set to bite me, in the name of Jesus Christ.

6. I roast every serpent in the foundation of my life, by fire, in the name of Jesus Christ.

7. Lord, equip me with all spiritual weapons of warfare, in the name of Jesus Christ.
