Putting on the armour of God during COVID
From Ephesians 6: 10-17.
Ever since the Covid 19 pandemic, the government, health officials and security forces have said we are fighting an unseen enemy
However, Christians have been fighting an unseen enemy for decades. The devil.
V12, "For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers Over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places."
Unlike covid 19, the devil schemes to BREAK our relationship with God and Fellow Christians.
Perhaps by making us doubt our salvation in Jesus and tempt us to sin.
Perhaps by fostering anger towards a fellow brother or sister in Christ. Or tempting us to be unloving and unkind to one another.
So, how do we fight this this invisible and deadly enemy?
Lockdown won't help, neither will social distancing. For he will get to us.
So How?
Only with an INVINCIBLE ARMOUR. The ARMOUR of GOD.
It consist of the:
Helmet of salvation.
Belt of truth.
Breastplate of righteousness.
Gospel shoes.
Shield of faith
Sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.
All 6 pieces of God's ARMOUR guard us from falling prey to the devils schemes.
For it reminds us that we are United in Christ, and by Christ through his precious blood which he shed on the cross.
Therefore, I urge you, PUT IT ON!
God Bless.
Stay safe, Stay home and Locked into Jesus.
