SPIRITUAL WEAPONS OF WARFARE 10.
Hello everyone, this is the tenth day of these broadcasts. We are about to start discussing the weapons of warfare after doing a lot of foundational teachings on relevant subjects.
THE BELT OF TRUTH
Eph. 6:14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth,...
Nothing has done more damage to the body of Christ more than false doctrines. These errors have led many a good and godly persons into spiritual darkness and moral decay.
Paul saw the LEATHER GIRDLE AROUND THE WAIST AS BEING OF UTMOST IMPORTANCE to facilitate ease of movement. The toga was made of leather strips that were held together by a thong tied around the waist like a belt. This way, the soldier could move freely and yet the belt holding the pleats ensure that the overlapping strips leave no gap.
The Christian is to hold his armour together with TRUTH.
Without the belt, a soldier is no different from a civilian. It is the belt that makes for smartness. I have said it before, there are Christian soldiers and Christian civilians. May God gives you understanding.
Also, in this time of massive heretical teachings and different winds if doctrines, you need a greater quantity of truth to remain on track. Else, you will be tossed to and fro by every wind of doctrines and sleight of men and cunning craftiness whereby they lie in wait to deceive. Eph. 4: 14.
WHAT IS THE TRUTH?
The truth is the PERSON OF JESUS. But contextually, the truth is:
THE LIGHT OF GOD THAT YOU HAVE RECEIVED. If your light is small, then, you are in a limbo in these days and time because the gross darkness in the world will overshadow you.
Truth also speaks of DISCERNMENT; the ability to judge between the right and the wrong. I am not referring to the gift of discernment of spirits mentioned in 1 Cor. 12:10. But, I am talking about a faculty that has been cultivated over time as a by-product of SPIRITUAL MATURITY.
Hebrews 5:14 says 'But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil'.
ERRORS and HERESIES most of the time contains some elements of truth mixed with falsehood. Their premises may be biblical but, they are still wrong. It takes a discerning person with sound Biblical knowledge to sieve the wheat from the chaffs.
The weight of the other weapons of warfare that you can bear DEPENDS ON THE THICKNESS OF THE BELT OF TRUTH THAT YOU HAVE. Selah. In other word, the size of the other weapons of warfare that will be handed over to you ARE IN A DIRECT PROPORTION TO THE THICKNESS OF THE TRUTH OF GOD'S WORD THAT YOU HAVE. May God gives you understanding.
Tomorrow's topic is THE BREASTPLATE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS.
