Let's Examine Your Battle Suit (Part 3)

Happy new month everyone,

In my last few blog post, we have looked at the waist of truth which strengthens us as we are led by the Holy Spirit. We’ve also looked at the breastplate of righteousness, where we understand that by being born again which is being translated into the kingdom of Jesus Christ we become the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus, as our lives have changed, our heart is now brand new. With that, we must hold on to this truth no matter the attack the devil brings about.

Today, I would be looking at the part of the armour that covers the feet. Ephesians 6:15 says, “and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace.” We must remember that we are on a battlefield, and the world is the field. The devil attacks us with all he has, which the world operates under, which is why your stand under the kingdom of the Lord Jesus Christ is going against the forces the world operates under, thus going against the tide.

So, for our feet to be shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace, it implies there would be attacks on what we stand for, and if you don’t have something to defend your new life, then you weren’t prepared.

Another reason why we need our feet to be prepared for the gospel of peace is because we are sent here as Ambassadors of the kingdom of the Lord Jesus Christ to save people of the world from perishing. We have people who are well equipped with knowledge of this world who can silence anyone, so if you run into such people and are not well prepared, and you could fall prey.

Now, a tactic the devil uses is that he makes us forget we are being led the Holy Spirit, as we start defending ourselves using our human knowledge, as we fight to be relevant, thus raising the human knowledge highly, and in many cases, we lose.

When you look at the Lord Jesus when He walked on earth, anytime the Pharisees and the teachers of the Law attacked Him with questions, He never answered on their level by trying to prove He was relevant. What He did was that He allowed the Holy Spirit to lead Him thus making His reply not philosophical (not based on thesis and antithesis). He never answered on their level of thought. Sometimes, He ends their questions by bringing up something new which makes their question null and void, thus making them the ones needing help.

But do not forget, YOU MUST BE LED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT; where to go, who to go to, and what to say. You are sent, you did not send yourself, (ref.: John 15:16). Therefore, let He who sent you do the talking, and you just be the medium at which the people hear Him.

You must be prepared, as having the armour of God is to strengthen you, and to save lives. It is not something to joke with which is why the Bible says, "looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith..." (Hebrews 12:2a). And this leads to the next part of the armour of God which is the shield of faith.

Log on tomorrow as we go through the shield of faith.

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!
