THE ARMOUR OF GOD
David Abankwah
READ: Romans 13:12
Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
-Ephesians 6:11 | NKJV
Christianity is an arena of battles against the odd of evil spirits knowingly or unknowingly. The reason is that, many people claim they are Christians but they are fakes. You need to be tried and tested on the battlefield to prove your realism. There, you have to win every fight. Before God can award you with the crown of life, you must first go through battles against devils who have made up their minds to prevent you from going to New Jerusalem. Fortunately, there are many witnesses present who are watching your battles. You can’t afford to lose, otherwise, you have to return to fight against seven stronger ones in addition to the spirit you lost your battle to (Matthew 12:45).
The earth is the battlefield (Revelation 12:12). We are at war against Satan and his fallen angels making this earth, a really terrible place to be in (1 John 5:19). For an angel to proclaim woefulness to the inhabiters of the earth, it really tells us of the many afflictions a righteous person will face. What makes it so fearful is that, Satan and his cohorts are battling against the righteous with wrath. They are not here to be nice. They are not here to joke. Hardly do some Christians pray, but they want to overcome evil spirits. Until you are defeated, they are not resting. What makes it a cheat is that they can see us but we can’t see them. Our warfare is like beating against the wind.
You will notice the warfare in your dreams. You will find yourself fighting against them. You will see yourself in so many battlefields. Actually, the witnesses are the Godhead, four living creatures, twenty-four elders, the angels in heaven, Satan, his angels, and then men. Sometimes people will see that you are going through a lot. They will be asking questions that where is your God? They will tell you to go to your former boyfriends who used to have their way through your legs before giving you money. Believer, wake up! Put on the whole armour of God and fight! Putting the armour on you is a daily Christian lifestyle of faith, truth, righteousness, evangelism, Bible reading etc
It is time to wear the armour of God by practising the Word of God and not knowing only the theory. You can’t allow these spirits who had already been defeated by Jesus Christ 2000 years ago to defeat you. Focus on your salvation with fear and trembling because that is your helmet for your soul. Never let go of righteousness because that is your breastplate for your soul. Always keep truth fastened around your soul’s waist. Be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of evangelism because that is your soul’s feed shod. Hold fast to faith as your soul’s shield for neutralising evil attacks. It is time to strike evil spirits with the word of God as the soul’s Sword.
