Guarding Against Loosing the Weapon of Our Warfare.


 

Guarding against, loosing any of Our Weapon of Warfare. 


(Ephesians 6:10-13) _"Put on God’s complete set of armor provided for us, so that you will go be protected as you fight against the evil strategies of the accuser!  Your hand-to-hand combat is not with human beings, but with the highest principalities and authorities operating in rebellion under the heavenly realms. For they are a powerful class of demon-gods and evil spirits that hold this dark world in bondage. Because of this, you must wear all the armor that God provides so you’re protected as you confront the slanderer, for you are destined for all things and will rise victorious"._


๐ŸŽฏ Life is too Spiritual not to have the *"Armor of God"* on,  as a Child of God. On Whose side are you? If you are on the Lord side, then you will see to it that you make sure put on your armor, because you are Child of God and you belong to the Lordship of Christ, and you have made him the Master over your life, that alone is enough for the devil to constantly throw arrows at you, not to then talk of you having something tangible to offer to the world, that will make Satan defeated. You might certainly say well God is my defender, He will always defender I will pray to him, but I also want you to know that God is a God of Principle, when He commands us concerning a thing, and we disobey we certainly face the consequence. Don't go about Gallivanting around as a Child of God, and be careless about your Armor, there are unseen battles everywhere in your Marriage, Workplace, Community, Family etc..., that there are weapons have not overcome you because you have the Armor of God and are actively functioning per time to prevent you from being harmed. So therefore you have to begin to look inward, *"Do I have the Complete Armor of God me?"* You will not be able to conquer the enemy of your Destiny if you don't have the Complete Armor on you, they will keep getting you were you are uncovered.


We can see the 7 Weapons we are to have on; which constitute the full Armor of God (from the book of Ephesians 6:14-18), to refresh on them, but my main bowl of discussion today is:- 


 *"7 things that can make a Believer loose any of the Weapon of Warfare."*

    As important as it is, to have our armor on always, we must also Guard against not loosing any of them so that we won't be caught unaware, for the bible made us to understand _"Be Sober, and Watchful for your adversary, the devil roars around like a lion seeking whom to devour" (1 Peter 5:8)._ What could make a Child of God loose His/Her Armor .


1) *Offense* - (Matt 18:21-35).  Don't overlook offense, any seed of offense you find in your heart, make sure you evacuate it, don't allow it to grow it will make your Armor unfit and dull on the battle field.


2) *Lack of Discernment.* (1 John 4:1).


3) *A Froward Heart* . (Psalm 101:4), You need to continually check the Motive of your heart. Only those with a pure heart and a clean hands will ascend to God's Presence, and move things. What is the State of your heart, (Time will not permit us to go deeper).


4) *Prayerlessness* .- This will keep you open to attack, the bible says pray without ceasing, and all days are evil but we should redeem the times with Prayer.


5) *Giving in to the dictates of the Flesh, instead of Walking in the Spirit.* (Galatians 5:16)


6) *Lack of Hunger for the Word.* - (Psalm 119:105, Hebrews 4:12). The Word of God is your Sword in the battle field, and gives you Direction and Strategy to win in the battle front.


7) *Lack of passion for Soul Winning.* 

    

    It is important to know that our fervency and consistency in the Walk of Faith and Spirit, keeps us ahead in the battle, and prevent any form of attack from the Adversary. The devil is not only battling with your Physical body, but also your Soul, Spirit, the Potentials & Treasure also your Destiny, therefore you can't afford to be uncovered, and unfit and guarded. At times we might think we have all our armor on, but watch out for foxes that destroy the vine, which are the Sin that belittle us. Put your whole Armor, so that you can be able to withstand the wiles of the enemy, and also make sure you don't loose any of the Armor so you are not caught unaware.


๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ™Shall we Pray, Lord help me not to be careless with any of the Armor you have commanded us to put on, help me not to give entrance to anything that can make my Weapons of Warfare dull or inefficient.


 _Stay Blessed._
