DAILY DEVOTION #8
“So put on God's armour now! Then when the evil day comes, you will be able to resist the enemy's attacks; and after fighting to the end, you will still hold your ground. So stand ready, with truth as a belt tight round your waist, with righteousness as your breastplate,”
Ephesians 6:13-14 GNB
When you go into a fight you would always want to be prepared or be ready. No ones wants to be at a disadvantage or go into a fight or battle to lose. We all have our own battles daily that challenge us, test our character and our faith in God. The Bible tells us that the devil comes to steal, kill and destroy...But thank God that he will always protect His children. He says put on His armour cause He knows we would be attacked. The devil will do anything to stop you from living in your calling. We know that God has a plan and purpose for all of us and the last thing the devil needs is for us to know, live and fulfil that purpose. God has empowered us with His armour if we decide to wear it...you see it is up to us to put it on. God ain’t gonna put it on us. Just like it’s a choice to fight, it’s also a choice to be ready and be prepared and not be beaten up by the lies of the enemy. And when you decide to put on the armour God has provided, you will overcome and you will stand and hold your ground. Don’t let the enemy gain ground in your house, at your home, at work, in your mind. But put on and use Gods armour so that you can fight, resist and stand your ground...then the day will come when you say...
“I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day—and not only to me, but also to all who have longed for his appearing.”
2 Timothy 4:7-8 NIV
