The Christian Armour II FOP/BSS/015

TOPIC: The Christian Armour II

TEXT: Eph. 6:10-18

MEMORY VERSE: Eph. 6:11

INTRODUCTION

As we continue in our study on this very crucial subject, it is important for us to know that our growth in grace is nothing but an understanding of that which Christ Jesus has accomplished for us by His death, resurrection and ascension to the right hand of His majesty.

In the first part of this study, we majored solely on defensive weapons. This study, however, will focus on both defensive and offensive weapons that every believer must posses to be highly effective.

EVALUATIONS

1. Helmet of Salvation: This involves not just being saved, but walking in the consciousness of our salvation and all its benefits.

a) Gal. 1:4

b) Col. 1:13-14

c) 1Pet. 1:18-19

d) Rom. 12:2

2. Shield of Faith: The shield of faith is dynamic in its use. It subdues and beats down every situation that the enemy may bring across our path. It also extinguishes every fiery arrow of the enemy coming against us.

a) 1 Jn 5:4

b) Mk. 4:37-40

c) Heb. 11:33-34

d) Heb. 11:6

3. Sword of the Spirit: This is not just the written letter, but the ‘rhema’ of the word of God, which is the living and active spoken word of God. It is as efficacious as God Himself appearing physically to speak.

a) Heb. 4:12-13

b) 2 Tim 2:15

c) Acts 19:20

d) Isa. 55:11

CONCLUSION

In conclusion, it is important for every believer to pray in the spirit (inspired by the Holy Spirit) on all occasion, in addition to putting on the whole armour. This is very vital because it is the believer’s source of strength, without which the whole armour will be absolutely worthless.

Let us be reminded that the battle has already been won; but we must continue to enforce our victory so that we can live victoriously all the days of our lives, for this is God’s will for us.

Shalom!

Stretch

Isa. 54:2 “Enlarge the place of your tent, And let them stretch out the curtains of your dwellings; Do not spare; Lengthen your cords, And strengthen your stakes. The concept of stretching is very important for anyone who desires to make any meaningful progress in life. God has so designed everything in a manner that makes it almost impossible to make progress without any stretch. Even the human body grows by this same concept. It has been revealed that for a muscle to grow, it must first undergo "micro-tears." When you lift a weight that is slightly too heavy, the muscle fiber stretches and tears. It is only in the repair of those tears that the muscle becomes larger and stronger than before. If there is no tension, there is no transformation. The "pain" of the stretch is actually the signal that growth is happening. So If the human body grows by stretching, it follows to say that to reach anything significant in this life, we must stretch. God will always require ...

Becoming a Person of Value - Part 2

In the first part of this series, I shared the first two steps to becoming a person of value: 1. Having the right perspective 2. Valuing people These are foundational principles for building true value. Today, I’ll share three additional steps that can help you on this journey. But remember—these steps only work when you internalize and practice them consistently. It’s not enough to know them; you must live them. 3. Value Knowledge and Learning The third step to becoming a person of value is to develop an insatiable hunger for knowledge. Be a lifelong learner, and to do that, you must remain humble. No matter how knowledgeable you are, there is always something to learn—even from those who may know less than you in other areas. As a Christian, growing in the knowledge of God is essential. It will strengthen your foundation in times of trials and storms. Keep pressing toward deeper understanding of Him (Philippians 3:13-14). The pursuit of God is the most noble quest of all. However...
