The Whole Armor of God.
“Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.” Eph. 6:11.(KJV).
Can a soldier go to war without a gun?
When a soldier is well equipped for war:
He stands a chance of surviving.
When he lacks ammunition?
He probably will not survive.
What is the armor of God?
Jesus gave His life for you.
God sent the Holy Spirit to guide you.
You were baptized to a clear conscience with God.
You have God’s word and His commandments.
God promised to help you.
You can not afford to leave out any of the Whole Armor.
Even as you face the enemy, your ears are attentive to your commander.
Jesus, the Captain of the Lord of Host is with you.
Do you have the faith to trust God?
Don’t leave out any part of your whole armor.
Application to the Christian life:
Commit your All to God.
Daily Listen and obey Him.
He Knows the terrain of the Battleground.
He will lead you to victory.
Follow Jesus all the way.
Allow the Holy Spirit to guide

The Victory through Jesus.
But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. 1 Cor. 15:57. (KJV).
Do you think you can be perfect?
Without sin?.
“And when Abram was ninety years old and nine, the LORD appeared to Abram and said unto him, I am the Almighty God; walk before me, and be thou perfect.” Genesis 17:1(KJV)
Yes, you can live a victorious life.
Jesus Conquered sin and death. (1 Corinthians 15:55-57)
Your own personal efforts can not take you to heaven.
To be able to enter the Kingdom of God,
You need to be without sin.
With God, all things are possible.
Accepting Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior.
Gives you the keys to victory.
He can forgive your sins.
Jesus sacrificed His life for us.
All you have to do is to daily follow Him
When following Jesus, you also do as Jesus.
You will experience continuous Victories through Christ Jesus.
Can you do that?
Application to the Christian life:
Through Christ, a sin-free life is possible.
Daily Trust and Obey Him.

“My friend, who made me a judge or arbitrator over you?”
“Just then, someone spoke up from the crowd and said, “Master, you should compel my older brother to divide the family inheritance and give me my fair share!” Jesus answered, “My friend, who made me a judge or arbitrator over you?” Speaking to the people, Jesus continued, “Be alert and guard your heart from greed and from always wishing for what you don’t have. For your life can never be measured by the amount of things you possess.” Luke 12:13-15 (TPT)
Are you always into everybody’s matter?
Are you always compelled that you have to be involved?
This “member” of Jesu’s crowd invited Jesus to handle an important matter.
However, Jesus openly declined.
What would you have done?
“He complained to me” is your response
I have to help them out of the situation.
Today you need to ask yourself:
“Who made you a judge or arbiter over the many things you are involved in.”
Good is always preventing us from doing better.
Better hinder us from becoming the Best.
Focus.
Yes, focus only on what God has called you to be.
Don’t get sidetracked into what may appear suitable.
Is it core to your mandate?
Imagine Jesus abandoning His core ministry and “solving members” problems
Preach and teach the undiluted Word God has given you.
Stop getting involved in what may appear inviting.
In the next verse, Jesus warned us about greed.
“Be alert and guard your heart from greed and from always wishing for what you don’t have….”
It is the desire for numbers of members, opportunities, and fame
Recheck yourself today.
What is the actual motive of the things you get involved with?
“The twelve apostles called a meeting of all the believers and told them, “It is not advantageous for us to be pulled away from the word of God to wait on tables.”
Acts 6:2) TPT
Are you serving at the tables?

Jesus Will Appear in Glory.
When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then ye also appear with him in glory. Col. 3:4. (KJV).
Do you believe Jesus will return?
Do you believe in the Rapture?
Do you realize when He appears in the sky, His children will meet Him there?
Are you indeed a child of God?
That means you will suddenly be in the sky:
Without any help from anything.
How can that be possible?
Jesus when He finished His earthly mission:
Physically ascended to Heaven.
“Jesus led his disciples out to Bethany. He lifted his hands over them and blessed them in his love. While he was still speaking words of love and blessing, he floated off the ground into the sky, ascending into Heaven before their very eyes! And all they could do was worship him. Overwhelmed and ecstatic with joy, they made their way back to Jerusalem. Every day they went to the temple, to praise and worship God” Luke 24:50-53 (TPT)
He will return back the same way.
All eyes will see Him.
Your stay on this earth is temporary.
Don’t allow earthly things to hold you down.
The Rapture will undoubtedly happen.
When is what we do not know.
Is the world having a hold on you ?.
Do All your earthly desires have a hold on you.
Remember the story of Lot’s wife. (Genesis 19:26)
Do you want to meet Jesus in glory?
Live daily ready and prepared to meet Him.
Application to the Christian life:
Subject your own desires to His.
Follow Him Daily.
Trust God.

Seek the things from above.
If ye then risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. Col. 3:1. (KJV).
Are you a child of God?
Did You really give your life to Christ?
Have You accepted Him as your Lord and Savior?
If you have, then you are also part of Jesus.
Perhaps you have not.
Invite Him in Today.
Accept Him as your Lord and Savior.
Confess your sins to Him.
Repent of them too.
Ask the Holy Spirit to live in you and be your guide.
You Have the Holy Spirit.
You are now born again.
Your own desires were crucified.
New desires were born.
Daily check that the desires you seek to fulfill are His.
When Jesus was on the earth,
He listened to God.
What the Father Wanted to be done.
His thoughts were about the Kingdom of God.
He only wanted to do the will of His Father.
Can you do that?
What are you thinking of doing today?
Are they the Kingdom’s agenda?
Application to the Christian life:
Submit your life to God.
Let your desires be from above.
Serve God.
