Memorise: For we can do nothing against the truth, but for the truth. 2 Corinthians 13:8

Read: Ephesians 6:13-18 (KJV)

Bible In One Year: Ezekiel 1-3, Hebrews 9

MESSAGE:

To remain victorious in the battle against the kingdom of darkness, you must never joke with your battle gear; they are listed in Ephesians 6:13-18. However, you must first be saved before you can be enlisted into this army, thereafter, you must ensure that your helmet of salvation is always worn to protect your head. Another battle gear is the belt of truth. Belts help to hold your clothes together and they make you look smart. Belts are worn on a very sensitive position of the body bordering on the navel which is linked with the foundation or root of a man’s life. Truth is very crucial to a soldier of the cross. Truth helps to hold everything in your body, family, school et cetera, together. If truth is missing, everything else will be in shambles. Whatever happens, stick to the truth.

In addition, you must live a righteous life; this is the breastplate that secures your heart. Any soldier of Christ who lives in sin must expect to be defeated, disappointed and hurt at times. Besides this, you must wear the Gospel boots by evangelizing regularly. This protects your feet, helps you to tread on your enemies and go through bad terrains. Are you wearing the right gear?

Action Point: According to Psalm 33:4, everything God does is in truth. Ask that from today, whatever you do will be in truth in Jesus’ name.

Hymn 16:

1. Christian, seek not yet repose
Hear thy gracious Savior say;
Thou art in the midst of foes:
Watch and pray.

2. Principalities and power
Mustering their unseen array
Wait for the unguarded hours:
Watch and pray

3. Gird the heavenly armor on,
Wear it ever night and day;
Ambushed lies the evil one:
Watch and pray.

4. Hear the victors who o’ercame,
Still they mark each warrior’s way;
All with one sweet voice exclaim,
Watch and pray.

5. Hear, above all, hear thy Lord,
Him thou loves to obey;
Hide within thy heart His word:
Watch and pray.

6. Watch, as if on that alone
Hung the issue of the day;
Pray, that help may be sent down:
Watch and pray.
