Hi everyone,
Last time I wrote on the waist of
truth found in the armour of God, as I said the waist of truth is what
convicted us when we went through the word of God which serves as what we hold
on to, and this is achieved through the leading of the Holy Spirit.
Today, I would be looking at the
second part of the whole armour of God found in Ephesians 6:14, which says, “having put on the breastplate of
righteousness.” Now, this is deep.
2 Corinthians 5:21 says, “For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for
us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.” What does
this mean? It means that the purpose of Jesus’ death, burial and resurrection
was to make you the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus. And this can only be
achieved when we believe in Jesus and confess Him as Lord of our life, in other
words, becoming born again.
We become the righteousness of
God when we get translated into a brand new life in Christ Jesus. Now, becoming
the righteousness of God is a change of heart, as it isn’t just a change in
attitude, but a total change of the person. But the devil doesn’t want us to
see that we have changed which is why he attacks us by telling you, you are
still filthy and stinking before God, even after being born again. But this is
a lie.
So, the breastplate of faith
signifies righteousness and holiness before God, as we can step into the Holy
of holies, for we are now united with God again. This is what we are to know,
believe and understand. This is one of the things that hasten the renewal of
your mind and the transformation of your body.
When you confess to yourself that
you are the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus, they are not mere words, but
words of transformation, as it brings out the hidden treasure of Christ in you,
which is the fullness of God in Christ Jesus that we received when became born
again.
Do not let the lies of the devil
get to you, you must protect your heart against his lies, as you gird yourself
up having the waist of truth that strengthens who you have become—the righteousness
of God in Christ Jesus.
May the LORD bless
you and keep you, make His face shine upon you. May the LORD be gracious to you
and lift up His countenance upon you, and give you peace. AMEN.
Why not accept Jesus
today if you haven’t. Pray out loud, “Jesus,
I confess that You are my Lord and Saviour. I believe in my heart that God
raised You from the dead. By faith in Your Word, I receive salvation now. Thank
You for saving me!” Congratulations,
you’re born again, you are now brand new!
