Let's Examine Your Battle Suit (Part 2)

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.

It represents the moral courage, the personal integrity, that thing which strengthens us no matter what, which is all that the Holy Spirit does when we face the evil distractions of this world, for the Holy Spirit, leads us in the path of righteousness.

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!
