THE WORD ALIVE

Ephesians 6:10-20

ABLE TO WITHSTAND

    God has not left us in the dark about the reality of the world we dwell in. Our world is a wicked, terrible and evil. Here in the letter of Paul the apostle, it is obvious that evil days are real. God has never promised Christians a world free of wickedness here. In fact, Jesus foretold that in the last days, there would be wickedness in multiple folds (Matthew 24:12). The description of what we are in for as Christ's followers is a serious and heart-aching one; "for we are not contending against flesh and blood, but against principalities, powers, the world rulers of this present darkness, the spiritual host of wickedness in the heavenly places." What a terrifying revelation!

    A serious soldier will not trade his weapon for any reason; even when he sleeps, you will likely see his weapon firmly by him. As Christians, having a full knowledge of our terrain, to be able to stand, one must guide his or her weapons of warfare very jealously. Remember that evils days are real and you must stand as emphasized in our text today. God has provided us with all it takes to stand against the powers of darkness of this world.

PRAYER: Father, empower me the more with Your whole Armour to be able to stand against the wiles of the evil one and remain firm in You even in the days of affliction, in Jesus Name. Amen
