THE GREATEST WEAPON !

  “For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds…. “ 2 Corinthians 10:4 KJV As christians, we are not improverished of ammunitions with which to withstand the enemy and his wiles. Yet these weapons are variably effective. There is, therefore, the need to look into the nature of each of them and reasonably determine the most productive. According to Paul, in the preceding scripture, our arms are not physical; prayer, praise/worship, faith, obedience and Light, are all rather abstract though results-yielding. Now, which of these does satan fear most? Let us find out from the following paragraphs. Prayer is a good arm. It transforms both on the inside and on the outside of us. But if prayer is a request, then satan can pray too; he got far into God’s presence, requesting of His permission to try Job. He demanded of The Lord to sift Peter like wheat. Thus, prayer is not satan’s most-feared ! Afterall, he too can pray to God. D...

SPIRITUAL DISTANCE

  “… They honour me with their lips but their hearts are far from me.” Isaiah 29:13 Why would a miniser’s relation be downtrodden while this same minister ably delivers others outside his family? Why would a virtual participant be positively touched while those in his physical presence are left unimpacted? Could it be that one’s faith is stronger than the other’s? If ” YES “, how possible is it that those that are rather physically far from God’s servant can have stronger faith than those present in his immediate circle? Beloved, the simple reason for all these oddies lies in ” SPIRITUAL DISTANCE “. Whereas PHYSICAL DISTANCE has to do with the space between physical bodies, SPIRITUAL DISTANCE refers to the distance between Spirits. The two do not yield same profit(s). One that is physically close but Spiritually far accesses only physical benefits from the other; the person that is spiritually close, whether physically present or not, stakeholds all things from his or her partner. ...

SENSES OF THE SPIRIT !

    ” But solid food is for the [spiritually] mature, whose senses are trained by practice to distinguish between what is morally good and what is evil. “ Heb 5:14 AMP It’s an emphatic truth that God doesn’t only offer us His direct Voice and Visions. He also speaks and reveals through His creatures – living or inanimate. Yet, we cannot grab the import of these messages without the spiritual ability of perceiving, understanding and discerning them. There’s, therefore, the need for identifying and sharpening each of our five spiritual senses ! ( Psa 19:1‭-‬4 ) THE SENSE OF HEARING: “He who has an ear, let him hear what The Spirit says to the churches… ” Revelations 2:7. With this spiritual sense you are able to identify and discern the voice and sounds of God, angels, demonic spirits, and the sounds of activities in the spiritual realm. When your sense of hearing opens, you hear sounds while men hear noise. However, God’s not the only source of these voices; the...

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 !
