Pharaoh's daughter who later found Moses in a basket on the river, cared for him in their palace through his maturity. God would later call Moses by the burning bush and task him to lead out the Israelites out of Egypt.  Moses did not only achieve that but also successfully brought his followers out through the red sea. Moses was burried by God in Moab, at the summit of Nebo's mountain whe...

KEEP YOUR HEART WELL.

    " Keep thy heart with all diligence; For out of it are the issues of life." Proverbs  4:23. KJV. Lot of the things christians are surrounded by today in this world, chiefly the social media, are not helpful. It is the reason why our opening verse suggests that we guard our hearts. Now, the mouth speaks out of the abundance of the heart. And these spoken words go a long way to shape our lives. It's therefore patent that we can only let out good words when we first stock our hearts with positive information and faith-filled words. The two main gateways to the heart are the eyes and the ears. Now, guarding the heart means preventing negative information from reaching it through these main channels. That means, friends and environments that pose as potential threats to the peace, joy and love in our hearts must be barred.  Disclosed below are a few ways by which we can keep our hearts as we journey through this world. 1. Mind your Mind:   "A good man produces go...

GOD'S ARMOUR ( Pt. 1)

 

Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:

Ephesians 6:13‭-‬17 KJV


Paul wasn't intimated by the Romans soldiers who guarded him in prison. He would rather proclaim that he sat in heavenly places while God gave him an analogy of the centurion's armour upon which his eyes were fixed. The Apostle, in his letter to the Ephesians, touched on this revelation as in our opening scripture. Today's part of the subject, however, discusses The Helmet of Salvation. ( Ephesians 2:6 )


Now, snapily describing the centurian's headgear ( helmet) helps us understand better how The Helmet of Salvation works. The design of the Roman soldier's helmet is such that it protects the back of the neck and the soldier's face - forehead, nose, eyes, ears and jaw of teeth. So The helmet of salvation - The Gospel of Jesus, wholly secures our thought and face. 


PROTECTION FOR THE THOUGHT

The helmet guards our mind - WILL, EMOTIONS and INTELLECT, against satan's fiery darts like fear, mistrust and hatred. Since the mind is also a spiritual battleground, the helmet also guides our mind processes into Victory. The mind is the soul of a man. And a man's physical prosperity largely depends on the prosperity of his soul.Thus, the need to secure the wellness of our soul with the Helmet of Salvation ( 3 John 1:2 ).


PROTECTION FOR THE FACE

Just like the physical body, the human spirit also has spiritual senses. Our Spirits have eyes to see Visions, ear to hear God's Voice, nose to smell divine aroma, tongue to taste the goodness of God and skin to feel the touch or presence of Spirit entities. When the face is exposed, the devil may blind our spiritual eyes and deafen our spiritual ears. But thanks be unto God ! The Helmet of Salvation covers the Spirit's sense organs on the face as we wear it on.


But how do wear this helmet? The Helmet of Salvation, which is the gospel of Jesus, is worn when we replace our old, vain thoughts with those cited in Philipians 4:8. Romans 12:2 says, " ... But be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind..." That's how we put on The Helmet of Salvation.


It's worth noting that before the Roman soldier wore his headgear, he first polished it's sufface with oil. Thus, the helmet so shun on sunny days and blinded the eyes of rivals. This oiled metallic gear, would also slip off the palms of their enemies and sharply deflect their weapons ( swords).


Brethen, do not just dorn your helmet; first, let it also be anointed of The Spirit such that it is shiny and eye-blinding to the enemy. An oiled helmet is a Spirit-authored Word of God that's never corrupted ! Do join us here on our next post for the remaining parts of this armour. But before you leave now, kindly read a couple more of our exciting artircles on this page. God richly bless you !
