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.

HOLD IT

SUNDAY SERVICE  SERMON:                           HOLD IT   INTRO :  It is easy to go through life and feel embarrassed. And because of such embarrassment, it also easy to feel like throwing out something to compensate for your bad feelings. You feel you should throw out a word at someone, you feel you should throw off the relationship, you feel you should throw off the patience.  There is something that happens behind the scene that we never know about. And if we knew it, we would understand the power of holding it to our selves.   PROB : The problem we have is that we want to seek for compensation in short times, for revenge within no times...and never want to hold reactions for long.   PURP :  To enable us hold our emotions and anxieties in a world of intolerance.       >>> Christ was a man who faced a lot of persecution. He was always sought for by his enemies. They wanted him dead at all cost. Reaching a point of shamelessly paying one of his disciple to bet

THE GREAT BLISS

THE GREAT BLISS Isaiah 42:9  See, the former things have taken place, and new things I declare; before they spring into being I announce them to you.” -------------------------------------------- When there is something God is yet to do, He has to get tools within you to accomplish it. And one tool to use in you is the mind you got. God cannot accomplish great things when the mind and heart are stuck in former things...in former years. Before He made Mary have the great son He had to make her forget the former things and focus on the new things. When the Bible clearly says that God has a good plan for us and it assures us that God has no harmful plan for us; this means that what could be holding us back is not up to God!. He has the good plan already. But the nature of our minds may be holding onto the former and never letting it go. Because of the pains you had in the last year, you still revise that and experience pains again.  But there is something new. The Lord has tol
