THE PROTECTIVE ARMOUR

READ: PSALM 90:1-6
Wise people protect themselves and their property. Good things need to be protected. God shall do a lot of good things in your life. Those good things are going to start happening right from now. When good things happen, we have to defend ourselves. When your house is full of treasures, you have to guard it very well. Proverbs 1:32 says: “And the complacency of fools will destroy them.” We are going to prosper, but we should not let our prosperity destroy us. I know my prosperity will not destroy me because I will put on the whole armour of God. Because God has made provision for the whole for our protection, when an enemy penetrates to attack us and he succeeds, the fault is most likely to be ours. If you do not put the whole armour and the enemy penetrates, you must not blame God. To render the attack of the enemy on us ineffective, the onus is on us to put on the whole armour of God. If you find that, in spite of all the promises of God, the enemy still penetrates, and you are still a tail and not a head, and poverty is overtaking you, then you should ask yourself some questions. You should ask whether you are putting on the whole armour of God. You should examine yourself. God is not a failure. He is not a liar. He will perform whatever He promises. God wants us to be victorious all the time. He said we should put on the whole armour of God to be able to withstand in the evil day. Having done this, we must still be on our feet.
MEMORIZE: PSALM 90:1 –LORD, You have been our dwelling place in all generations.
