THE FULL ARMOR

 THE FULL ARMOR

Ephesians 6:10

Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. 11 Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. 12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.
--------------------------------------------
Soldiers that go for war never go empty. They never go swinging hands without anything that aids in fight.

In as much as the Bible says that put on the full armor, this means clearly that there is war that you need to fight as a Christian. It means that becoming a Christian is setting a battle field for war.

We therefore need to put on the armor that will enable us to overcome during these wars. These wars happen day by day. But one thing we have to know is that we cannot fight them all by ourselves and win. We therefore need salvation of Christ. You need to put on the helmet of salvation. It is salvation that will rescue you when you cannot. It is salvation that will snatch you from the fangs of the evil one. The evil one moves to and fro the earth to look for destruction, it means as you sleep, he is look for destruction. Salvation will rescue you from the pits of evil.

Truth is one thing that defines righteousness. It defines a true child of God. Speak the truth. Be true. Let your heart be true. If you went wrong, be true to yourself and repent to God. Speaking the truth will save you when the enemy accuses you day after day before God. 
The Bible says that without holiness, no one shall see God, let righteousness prevail. Do what is right in the eyes of God. Love your neighbor as you love yourself, that is right. Righteousness being a breastplate will shield your heart from the arrows of the enemy. It will shield your soul from the deception of the evil one.

Be ready. Be ready through the gospel. Put on your shoes that come from the readiness of the gospel. 
Let the word of God never leave your heart. It is a sword that tears apart the blocks of evil.
Read your Bible and strengthen the sword every day.
As you read and hear the word, let faith affirm your hearing. Faith as a shield against the arrows of evil will shield the whole of you . Have faith in God and in His word.
Let not the evil times toss you around. There is power beyond limit that you have. Be strong in the Lord. The struggle is against the darkness of this world. Let not your heart be deceived but let it be strenthened day by day from what comes within scripture.


                  GOD BLESS YOU

TRIBE OF LENDERS

TRIBE OF LENDERS   Proverbs 19:17  He who is kind and generous to the poor lends to the Lord, and he will reward him for what he has done. -------------------------------------------- It is easy to go through life with the mind of "it's not enough...it's not enough". By nature, we were created to recognize the fact that it's we first then .... We were created to survive and always know that there is not enough. Our genes have been made to think about ourselves alone and how we survive in the world of scarcity. This fact that thrives within us is not supposed to be proved true. There are several results that God has set for those that prove such rules wrong. You know, when you try to go against human nature and try to mimic the nature of God, you attract more of what God has set for the cause. As the human nature is self centered and self seeking, stepping out of such to pursue kindness and open hands attracts God's attention...it attracts the rewa...

OLDEN STRENGTH

OLDEN STRENGTH Psalm 77:1 I will remember the deeds of the Lord; yes, I will remember your miracles of long ago. -------------------------------------------- It is easy to go through life thinking about the future and forgetting the past. Craving for the future is one thing I have realized does not end. Even the very rich still have cravings. There can not be a moment where cravings end and the mind is inactive only thriving in gratification. Such a moment is only created by us. Anyway, that was a by- the- way. Our point starts from here. The future does not hold the roots but the past does. The roots are not from the sky but are from where the tree started. What makes the tree strong are the roots .  What makes the future strong are the roots. They are the past. You cannot know where you should go unless you know where you came from. How typical you may know where you came from is another factor.  Knowing that God is great is not knowing the future that holds. Knowing that Go...

FORWARD

FORWARD Luke 13:33  In any case, I must press on today and tomorrow and the next day—... --------------------------------------------    A Levite in the desert thought was cunning. After killing the Egyptian, he sauntered back to the community. Little did he realise that he was noticed by his fellow and that the news had gone about faster than it could. Knowing this, he fled to Midian where he met the Lord. And being asked by the Lord to rescue his people from slavery, Moses refused. He thought that role was better with someone more superior. But after the Lord insisting, he took the task. The people who were thought as slaves were no lesser to stubbornness and disrespect. They gave Moses hard time. But one thing that happened was forward movement.  Even the Lord used lots of wonders to sustain them through the journey and yet many died from their stubbornness. But regardless of their deaths, the journey went forward. God moved forward. Moses faced the worst of trial...
