TOPIC: Armed For The Battle (DCLM Daily Manna 25 January 2024)

KEY VERSE: “Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil” (Ephesians 6:11).

TEXT: Ephesians 6:10–18 (KJV)

10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.

11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.

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.

13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;

15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;

16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.

17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:

18 Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;

DCLM Daily Manna For Today MESSAGE:

It is certain that we are in the midst of foes and are daily engaged in the battles of life. We wage wars against principalities and powers, fallen angels led by Satan himself. To repel their attacks, we must depend on God’s strength.

Paul the apostle, in our text, having taken the Ephesian church through some teachings, warned them about the tough times they would face and what they needed to do to fight against the enemies (Satan and his cohorts). The enemy will do everything to hinder their spiritual progress, hence the apostle laid out the specific precepts they were to follow as they went into their spiritual battles. They were not to approach the battles in their own strength but must arm themselves as warriors by putting on the whole armour of God so as to prevail.

Our fight against the wiles of the devil, whether in the church, family or individual lives is basically spiritual and not physical. The wiles of the devil include unbelief, division, discouragement, temptation, compromise, unforgiving spirit, fear, spiritual apathy, etc. We also fight against the host of evil spirits, unseen forces and powers of darkness that attack believers in every sphere of life.

Like soldiers, the Lord expects us to endure hardship in the course of the battles of life, defend the gospel at all costs and earnestly contend for the faith delivered to saints. We are assured of victory because Christ, our Captain, has secured victory for us on the cross at Calvary. At all times, we must arm ourselves with the word of God and pray ceaselessly, as it constitutes an essential weapon in the battle. In this battle, there is no room for looking back. We must march on courageously, fully assured that victory is certain.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
To fail to pray is to fall prey to the devil.
