READ: EPHESIANS 6:10-13
We must consider something very deep today. All earnest Bible readers and seasoned prophets are agreed on the fact that we live in the most perilous hour of human history. Serious warfare is raging. It is, therefore, unwise to live without protection. Of course, the only sure protection is spiritual amour.
When we are told to put on the whole armour of God, one thing becomes clear, instantly. This is the fact there is God. If there is no God, we cannot be talking of the amour of God. In PSALM 14:1, the Bible says: “The fool has said in his heart, There is no God. There are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none who does good.” Anyone who thinks there is no God is a fool. If He has not made Himself known to you, you have to pray about it. It follows immediately, from our Bible passage for today, that there is an “amour of God.” The armour is made up of several parts, otherwise we would not be told to put on the whole armour of God. This armour of God is not built into us simply because we are children. The armour is not built into every child of God. It is external and we have to pick it up in order to be able to put it on. The armour is available to us. We have to put it on, like a dress. You may however choose not to put on the armour of God. DEUTERONOMY 30:19 say: “I call heaven an earth as witness today against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessings and cursing; therefore choose life, that both you and your descendants may live.” Choose whether you will put on the whole armour and live or refuse it and face the consequence. We have the choice element. Make up your mind about putting on the armour or not. If you fail to put on the armour of God, you will be in trouble. We are entering an era in the history of Christendom where those who do not follow the word of God will pay very high prices. Those of us who are disciples of Christ have not choice but to put on the whole armour of God. Certain thing will begin to happen very soon that will show clearly that we need the armour of God more than ever before.

MEMORIZE: EPHESIANS 6:11 – Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
