GIRD YOUR FEET WITH THE GOSPEL OF PEACE

Leave a comment

KEY SCRIPTURE: Ephesians 6:15 “And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;”

The next part of the armour to consider is to shod our feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace.

The Christian is a messenger of peace. The Lord Jesus bore the punishment for our peace. Isaiah 53:5 put it this way, “But He was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon Him, and with His stripes we are healed”. One major need and the heart cry of most men is peace in their hearts. Through the gospel, our Lord Jesus has borne the punishment that has brought peace to all men. Men must hear it. They ought not to be in the dark and continue tormented in their minds and hearts.

According to the word of God the man who sets forth to go with this gospel, of peace has shod his feet with proper sandals. This implies those who do not carry the gospel for the salvation and peace of others have no shoes on their feet. How dangerous to travel this world with all the dangerous snakes without proper shoes. It is not surprising that those Christians who are not involved in evangelizing the world or societies are not swift spiritually. You find a lot of spiritual dullness with them. They have no shoes on their feet.

Please just listen to the prophet Isaiah as he revealed concerning those who send the gospel of peace; Isaiah 52:7 “How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that brings good tidings that publishes peace; that bringeth good tidings of good, that publishes salvation that says unto Zion thy God reigns”. The prophet says such people who publish the gospel of peace have beautiful feet. They have proper shoes on their feet.

To put on this armour, you must commit your life to preaching the gospel of peace and salvation of men. The gospel is about bringing men into a peaceful relationship with God and also experiencing the peace of God. Romans 5:1 “Therefore being justified by faith we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ”.

Dear child of God the terrain in which we are treading is infested with all sorts of evil powers. The Bible calls them snakes and scorpions (Luke 10:19). You need your shoes to tread upon them, and not be bitten or stung by them.

CONFESSION

I am a carrier of the glad tidings of peace. I have shod my feet with proper shoes that protect me against any demonic attacks on my feet. My life is also swift making me achieve a lot for God.

TAKING YOUR VICTORY

Leave a comment

KEY SCRIPTURE: Ephesians 6:12 “For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places”.

In our previous study, we learned that there is an organized host of demonic forces that are arrayed against the Christian. We Christians are identified with the Lord Jesus. This means whatever belongs to Jesus belongs to us. We are joint heirs with Jesus Christ (Romans 8:17). Our identification with Jesus also means whatever Jesus did, we did it with Him.

In spiritual warfare, the enemy’s main objective is to cause you to accept that you are defeated and that what God says is not true.

I would use an illustration to explain this point. Archbishop Benson Idahosa who has gone to be with the Lord, shared the following story. He said, that in November 1968, a car knocked him off his bicycle and threw him to the other side of the road. He was rushed to the hospital where the x-ray pictures showed he had multiple fractures in about ten different places. The doctor who attended to him said, “Man of God do you know you have broken your bones in ten different places?” The Archbishop responded by saying, “HIS BONES WERE NOT BROKEN.” He quoted Psalm 34:20 “He keepeth all His bones: not one of them is broken”. The man of God was on a battlefront at that moment. He either had to identify with Jesus in the fact that his bones were never broken or not to identify with Jesus, accept his physical condition, and suffer naturally, going through the normal process of healing.

A cast was put on the leg and was given four months to stay in the hospital. He told the doctor he would be in the hospital for a day. Just after the cast was fixed he limped off from the hospital, went to church that evening, and preached. He was healed from that day.

It was the enemy that attacked through the accident. He decided to stand on the victory in Jesus and not submit to the natural or physical conditions.

He felt the pain, yet he identified with the Lord Jesus and claimed Jesus’ bones were not broken and so his was also not broken. Spiritual warfare is won by taking your position in Christ irrespective of what the physical and natural evidence shows. Many of us have understood spiritual warfare as praying warfare prayers. Well, they are supposed to keep you standing in your victory in Christ. “….. And having done all stand.”(Ephesians 6:13b).

You don’t pray and go complaining about how Satan is defeating you. No!

 CONFESSION

I am secured in Jesus. No matter what the enemy throws at me, I maintain my victory in Jesus. He is my victory and success and I always remain victorious

OUR ENEMIES ARE NOT MEN

KEY SCRIPTURE: Ephesians 6:12 “For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places”.

Our key scripture shows us that our enemies are spiritual beings. They are not flesh and blood. Satan may use human beings to oppose and even attack us in many forms, yet we’ve got to know that these people are not our real enemies but certain unseen persons.

The Bible lists them as.

Principalities

Powers

Rulers of darkness of this world.

Spiritual wickedness in higher places.

This is an orderly organized regime of satanic forces that come up against the Christian. The Bible lists them in a proper order of rank.

These names of these devils should never instill fear in any child of God. We have been raised together with Jesus and made to sit together in heavenly places in Christ. 

Ephesians 1:21 reads “Far above all principality and power, and might and dominion and every name that is named, not only in this world. But also in that which is to come”. 

The Christian shares in the authority of Christ. We are seated or ranked in authority far above these evil spirits.

Our life and experience are also after the position of Christ. Jesus is forever victorious. We share in His victory as well. This is the reason we must remain standing even in the face of trying moments that seem to depict failure. Jesus is our life. We represent him on the earth. If the Christian accepts failure and defeat from the enemy, it means he has decided to step out of his or her identification with Jesus. We are called Christians because of our identification with Jesus. We are in Him, He is in us, and we are one with our Lord.

The devil knowing this, attacks by deception. His strategy is to make us lose sight or awareness of our oneness with Jesus. He also seeks to make us lose sight of our non-negotiable victory in Jesus. The Bible calls the conflict we have with the devil as a wrestle. The Greek word for wrestle is “Pale”, it comes from the root word “Pallo”. This means to oscillate or vibrate. The idea is to sway you from your victorious position in Christ. Whatever Satan and his demons seek to achieve, is to take you from the truth that is your victory in Jesus.

Your part of the contest is to maintain your grounds and not lose your place of victory

CONFESSION

I am fully established in the Lord Jesus. I am very victorious and no matter what comes against me I am more than a conqueror.

THE CHRISTIAN’S WARFARE

Leave a comment

KEY SCRIPTURE: Ephesians 6:10 “Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might”.

In today’s study, we look at an introduction to the Christian’s spiritual warfare. This calls on us to be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might.

This particular study spans the whole of Ephesians 6:10-18. It can not be treated or studied from one verse only. We would, therefore go through it in turns to be able to understand and appreciate the whole teaching on being strong in the Lord,

Our key scripture is the foundation or the need for all that followed. He tells us to be strong in the power of His might. The word “strong” means to be endowed with strength. It means do not be moved in your relationship with the Lord. Not to be shaken about anything whatsoever. It also said we must be strong in the power of His might: God is almighty. All power belongs to Him.

Although God is extremely powerful, many of His children fall short of walking in His power to defeat the devil. He shows us how to be strong. The way to be strong is to put on the whole armor of God. Our strength is not within ourselves. His strength to us is His armor. We have no strength of ourselves. Your ability to make use 

of the armor will determine how strong you will become and how effective you will be able to defeat the devil.

The enemy that is the devil is a schemer. He is a trickster. The Bible calls it the wiles of the devil. These wiles are described as cunning arts, deceit, craft, or trickery. Everything Satan does is not the real thing. He is not the truth and has no truth in Him, yet whatever he does appears so real and has been believed by most Christians.

The Bible calls on us to stand or be able to resist all these tricks and strategies of the devil.

Now, get this point very clearly in our context with the enemy. No matter what the devil does, we are those who are STANDING and not those who are on the floor. A look at the entire passage reveals four different places where the word STAND or WITHSTAND is used.
Ephesians 6:11, 13-14. Please, no matter how defeated you appear, don’t ever accept that you are on the floor. STAND, STAND, STAND! Because you are not down but STANDING. The Christian is standing because we represent our Lord on this earth. We do not only represent Him, He is living in us. He has forever defeated Satan. No matter what we experience physically, Jesus in us is the winner, and so we are also winners and must not bow to the enemy in defeat

 CONFESSION

I am strong in the Lord. My strength is in the Armour of the Lord. The devil is a schemer and a trickster. I always win over him as I stand my ground to overcome him.

THOUGHT: KEEP STANDING, BECAUSE JESUS IN YOU HAS DEFEATED THE DEVIL

BE NOT DECEIVED 2

KEY SCRIPTURE: Colossians 2:8 KJV “Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.”

In our previous study, we looked at one aspect of the devil’s way of deceiving Christians and the world as a whole. We looked at philosophy as one way He deceives men. He easily succeeds because the meaning of the word ‘philosophy’ in ancient Greek is, that is ‘lover of wisdom’ or better still common sense. Common sense is a Normal human access to issues within the natural realm. This is called sense knowledge.

The knowledge that God communicates to His children is revelation knowledge. This is knowledge outside our three-dimensional world. Until it is revealed, you can’t know it. 

1Co 2:14 KJV “But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.”

Any child of God who decides to relate to the things of God from the natural point of view will be lost and will surely end up accepting those things that appeal to his natural sense, yet they are all deceit from God’s point of view. Listen to the advice the Lord gave Thomas. 

John 20:29 KJV “Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed.”

The next line of deceit, according to our key scripture, is vain deceit. Sadly, this is one of the very strong points or ways Satan uses to deceive most men. Can you believe some people go about saying “Jesus is alien”? Aliens are supposed to be beings who come from other planets with higher superpowers than human beings. This is a vain deceit. The sources of vain deceit are the same as the philosophies. They are traditions of men and the rudiments of this world. It is just strange to hear certain individuals claim Jesus is a myth. In Ghana, we have folk stories about Kwaku Ananse. Kwaku Ananse, Is a myth. 

No human being was ever called Kwaku Ananse who had all those stories spoken about Him. Another such vain deceit is the widely held view that Christianity is a white man’s religion. The original religion of Europe or the white man is idol worshipping. 

Acts 17:16 KJV “ Now while Paul waited for them at Athens, his spirit was stirred in him, when he saw the city wholly given to idolatry“. 

Athens, a city in Europe was given to idol worship. Rome was the center of idol worship. Europe is a fragment of the old Roman empire. Christianity rather spread to Europe and they accepted it. A million and one vain deceits are making the runs among most people. 

Rev 12:9 KJV ” And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.” 

This being as described above is the original deceiver of all people. Satan is still using people to deceive others using vain deceit 

The truth is always available. That is the bible or the word of God. Stick to it

THOUGHT: STAY GLUED TO GOD’S WORD, AND AVOID BEING DECEIVED

JESUS IS GOD WHO TOOK ON FLESH

KEY SCRIPTURE: Colossians 2:9 “ For in him dwelleth all the fullness of the Godhead bodily ”.

For in Him (Jesus Christ) dwells the fullness of the Godhead bodily.

The word ‘Godhead’ means deity or divinity. The word ‘fullness’ also means completeness, abundance, or filled. This scripture could be said this way, “He is the manifestation of God in a bodily form”. He is not just a representative of the original but the real divine one in a bodily form.

Jesus is God.

Colossians 1:15-19 throws more light on His deity and the fact that He (JESUS) is the creator of all things. Colossians 1:15 says “Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature”. This issue of Jesus being the firstborn of every creature has been misunderstood by some people, especially the Jehovah’s Witnesses. They claim Jesus is a creature.

Well, to understand the meaning and import of certain statements you must read further. Colossians 1:16 reads “For by Him were all things created“. The word by is the Greek word “En” which means “IN” in English. It could be translated as follows, “for in Him were all things created”.  He states “…that are in heaven and that are in earth, visible and invisible whether they be thrones or dominions or principalities or powers: all things were created by Him and for Him”.

Please consider this, how could He be a creature and all things would be created ”IN” Him and then “FOR” Him, If He is not the ultimate Lord of all things? 

Colossians 1:17 also reads “And He is before all things and by (in) Him all things consist”. 

Jesus is not a creature but the creator. 

Colossians 1:19 also teaches that“For it pleased the Father that in Him should all fullness dwell”.

 Note: The whole fullness of deity or divinity dwells in Him in bodily form. He is God in a bodily form. Let’s look at 1st Timothy 3:16 ” And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles believed on in the world, received up into glory”.

Beloved, this scripture undoubtedly refers to our Lord Jesus. He is God in bodily form.

CONFESSION

Jesus is God who became man. He died for me and bought me with His blood. This makes me very precious and my salvation the dearest thing or experience on this earth. I would continue to keep faith with Him and live to glorify His name.

JESUS DEFEATED SATAN FOR US

Leave a comment

KEY SCRIPTURE: Ephesians 4:9 “Now that he ascended, what it is but that he also descended first into the lower parts of the earth?”

Our key scripture shows us one of the important events during the death of our Lord Jesus Christ. The Bible says He ascended, yet before He went up to the heavens he first descended into the lower parts of the earth”.

What did He go doing in these places? Please note that whatever our master Jesus went through during His death, burial, and resurrection, He did all together with us. He did it in our name. He did it because of us. (Note: The Lord did not need to go through all these things for Himself) He had to go into the lower part of the earth, where Satan dwelt, so He could confront him and overpower him. 

Colossians 2:15 “And having spoiled principalities and powers He made a show of them openly, triumphing over them in it”.

This victory that the Lord had over the enemy was made together with you and me. We were in Him when He achieved that victory.

Hebrews 2:14 also reveals that “the Lord Jesus through death destroyed him who had the power of death, that’s the devil”. 

We understand through these revelations that we are no more subject to the activities of the devil. All these have come to the fore because, the Holy Spirit revealed it to him (Paul) that, and our Lord Jesus went down into the abyss of hell to plunder the enemy. In Revelation 1:18 the Lord iterated this victory one more time, saying 

“I am He that liveth and was dead, and behold, I am alive forevermore. Amen, and have the keys of hell and death”.

We give praise to our master Jesus for this great victory that He has worn for us.

Satan does not have the keys to hell and death. Keys stand for authority. He does not have the right to put people into hell. We must know that if we do nothing about the souls of men the enemy would enslave them and finally take them into hell. The church must intercede for these souls and also preach the gospel to them. If the Lord has the keys then we have the great responsibility to stop Satan from running rampage over the souls of men. The church of God through the understanding gained from these revelations must not give place to the devil to exercise his works over us.

Remember the keys of death are not in Satan’s hands, it is in our Lord Jesus’ hands. Don’t allow the devil to mess up your life.

 CONFESSION

Thank you Jesus that you died for me. In your death, you overpowered Satan and his demons together with me. You destroyed him who had the power of death. Thank you, Lord that l am free from the control and manipulations of the devil and His demons.

WE ARE FILLED WITH HIS LOVE

Leave a comment

KEY SCRIPTURE: Romans 5:5 “And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us”.

Our key scripture reveals a very important truth about the Christian. It says the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts. It explains a very important truth in our experience under the new creation.

In John 13:34, the Lord Jesus instructed His disciples about a new commandment to love. It reads “A new commandment I give unto you. That you also love one another”. In all the periods prior to our Lord’s death and resurrection, it was a commandment to obey certain laws. After His death and resurrection, the laws were fulfilled in us.

Romans 8:3,4 reads “For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending His son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin condemned sin in the flesh, that the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us who walk not after the flesh but after the spirit”.

In the new creation, the righteousness of the law is fulfilled in us. We are no longer trying to obey. We are doers of the word. Our key scripture states that “…..the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Spirit which is given unto us”. Until the Lord died and was resurrected, the Holy Spirit had not come. Now, the Holy Spirit lives in us. All the perfections of God live in us. We are born lovers.

 1st John 4:7, 8 reads “Beloved let us love one another for love is of God, and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God”.

 Now, we do not just see these commands as external instructions to be obeyed but as part and parcel of our very being. We are born that way. Love is shed abroad in our hearts.

We no more walk in hatred. To hate is to abide in death. That is the nature of the enemy, and we have passed from death to life. We don’t hate. We can only love. Well, we must hate evil and wrong things, but we don’t hate our fellow humans, our relations, our friends, and our neighbors. No, it is not part of us.

If you are living in bitterness, please stop it from this moment. You are importing something strange to your very nature, into your being.

 CONFESSION

The love of God is shed abroad in my heart. I reflect God’s love to all persons I relate to. I do not have hatred and bitterness towards any man. It is very natural for me to love

THOUGHT: LOVE FOR ALL IS OUR IDENTIFICATION MARK

APOSTLE PAUL RECEIVED HIS MESSAGE BY REVELATION

Leave a comment

KEY SCRIPTURE: Ephesians 3:3 “How that by revelation he made known unto me the mystery; (as I wrote afore in few words,)”

Some have argued that the Epistles are not words directly spoken by our Lord Jesus but mostly by Apostle Paul, and so are not very reliable. This is rather unfortunate. Apostle Paul wrote in our key scripture that, whatever he wrote were revelations given to him by the Holy Spirit, to be given to the church body as a whole. He writes in Ephesians 3:3 & 4 the following

 “How that by revelation he made known unto me the mystery (as I wrote afore in a few words, where when you read, you may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ).“

The impact of the death, resurrection of our Lord, and other mysteries of the Christian life was to be made known to all Christians. The Lord used Apostle Paul greatly in that light.

 The Lord made the following statement before He died in

John 16:12, 13 “I have yet many things to say unto you but you cannot bear them now. Howbeit when He, the Spirit of truth is come, He will guide you into all truth”.

The Lord Jesus could not tell them a lot of things, especially those things that concerned the salvation of the Gentiles and the subsequent inheritance of their blessings in Christ.

The Holy Spirit revealed these mysteries to all the apostles. Apostle Paul had the greater share of the revelations because he was called to minister to the Gentiles (Galatians 2:7). Apostle Paul commented in Ephesians 3:5 as follows 

“Which in other ages was not made known unto men as it is now revealed to his Holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit, That the gentiles should be fellow heirs and of the same body and partakers of His promise in Christ by the gospel”.

 It was the Holy Spirit who revealed these things to the apostles. These revelations mainly concerned the one who is not a Jew by birth). It also revealed that the Gentiles should be fellow heirs with the Jews and should become joint heirs to God’s heritage in Christ. Every promise in Christ was the right of everyone who believed, both Jews and Gentiles.

All these things, which are described as the unsearchable riches in Christ Jesus, are what Apostle Paul had a great insight by revelation through the agency of the Holy Spirit. Anytime you read the letters of Paul, be patient to discover a number of these mysteries that have not been taught or revealed in earlier aspects of the Bible.

 CONFESSION

Through the revelations given to Apostle Paul by the Holy Spirit, my eyes have been opened to who I am and my position in Christ. My life is richer and better as I gain insight into these truths.

THOUGHT: CHRIST KEPT SPEAKING BY THE SPIRIT EVEN AFTER HIS PHYSICAL DEPARTURE

Ephesians 3:8 ”Unto me, who am less than the least of all saints, is this grace given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ”;

YOU HAVE PUT ON CHRIST JESUS

Leave a comment

KEY SCRIPTURE: Galatians 3:27 “For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ.”

Apostle Paul was loaded with an abundance of revelations. It was because of these great numbers of insight and revelations given to him that a messenger of the devil was allowed to buffet him lest he should be exalted above measure (2nd Corinthians 12:7). This messenger was defined as a ‘thorn in his flesh’. (Note: This is seen in the many persecutions he faced and not sickness as some may teach)

One such revelation and insight was that anyone baptised into Christ has put on Christ Jesus. The term baptized into Christ, which symbolised an outward dipping of one into water, had a more spiritual act; where the Holy Spirit places the man who acknowledges Jesus as Lord into Christ Jesus. To be placed in Christ sets you in a very glorious atmosphere. It is an escape from the dominance of darkness. You live in the presence of the Father. It is an atmosphere of heaven yet on earth. This is the reason the Lord remarked,ye are in the world, but you are not of the world. John 17:16 “They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world”

To put on Christ Jesus is slightly different. To put on Christ Jesus is to have Him on you as wearing a jacket.  This one is not just an outside influence but a total change of your personality to Christ’s. The Christian of his former self died with Jesus (Galatians 2:20). To be baptised into Him in the light of Galatians 3:27 makes you just like him. Dear child of God, God’s plan and intention for allowing Jesus into this world is to raise a people just like Him. Romans 8:29 “For whom He did foreknow He also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of His son, that He might be the first born among many brethren”. This glorious Jesus is our big brother. It is God’s family. We have become God and His sons incorporated. Jesus is the firstborn.

Our key scripture gives a more vivid presentation of the whole idea. In this instant, it is not just conforming to Him but the very person of Christ taking over your being and being like Him in all things. You only have your name to answer to, but it is His being and Spirit that has taken over. You have put on Christ Jesus. Please don’t look at yourself as an ordinary being. Face Satan with the boldness and assurance that the Lord Jesus would have faced him. Check out diseases from your body as He would.

Overcome the promptings of the flesh to sin as he would.

You have put Him on.

 CONFESSION

I have put on Christ Jesus. It is Him who has taken over my being. I carry everything He had. I win like Him, oh what a glorious life.
