Soldiers
of Christ are equipped differently.
Many of
them had most of the whole armor.
Only few
had the whole armor of God.
The
obvious need for completeness seems evitable.
Necessity
for completeness became progressively conspicuous.
The war’s
intensity is in degrees.
Basic
armors made up for the war’s least tempest.
As the war
intensifies, more other necessary armors kept them going.
With the
whole armor of God, soldiers of Christ are able
to withstand in the evil day.
These
whole armor of God are seven in number.
Six of
which are ascribed to different part of the body.
The
seventh armor isn’t allocated to any part of the body but yet indispensable.
Helmet of
salvation is to the head.
It
protects the head from injuries and attack.
Breastplate
of righteousness is allocated to the chest and
the back.
Sword of
the Spirit which is the word of God is on either of the two hands.
The other
hand strongly borne the shield of faith.
Wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the
fiery darts of the wicked.
Wicked spirits shot supposedly little arrows.
These arrows are strong enough to completely destabilize Christians.
Many Christians neither saw them coming, nor checkmated them.
Many others checkmated these fiery darts.
The loins
is girted about with truth.
The feet shod with the preparation of the
gospel of peace.
The
seventh armor is praying always with all
prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all
perseverance and supplication for all saints.
The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.
There is
sure way to strengthen and fortify each
of these armors.
As for the
helmet and the breastplate, it is required that O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness,
godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness.
Fight the good fight of faith, lay
hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good
profession before many witnesses.
For the Sword
of the Spirit and the loins, study to
shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed,
rightly dividing the word of truth.
The shield
of faith the 7th armor requires building
up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost.
And lastly,
the preparation of the gospel of peace necessitate it that we go ye therefore, and teach all nations,
baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy
Ghost.
Teaching them to observe all things
whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the
end of the world.
Shalom.
God bless you sir
