Swahili Christian books

are ready to deliver them

Read: Ephesians 6: 14-17; Romans 10: 14-15;

Leviticus 18: 5

How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!

Leviticus 18: 5

Full Armor of God (Ephesians 6: 14-17)

(1)  The belt of truth buckled around your waists.

       (V14a)

       Holy Spirit is there, then you know the truth, and truth set you free. We need to buckle God's truth as the belts around our waists. Then we carry around truth to go anywhere, there are truth, there will be free indeed.

(2)  With the breastplates of righteousness in place.

        (V14b)

       The breastplate is to protect our chests (hearts), so our hearts need to act out righteousness as God. We need to put on right place, so it is power spot.

(3)  With your feet lifted with the readiness that

        comes from the gospel of peace. (V15)

       In Romans 10: 14-15 said; How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believed in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them? And how Can they preached unless they are sent? As it is written, "How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news! (Leviticus 18: 5)"

Send -> Preach -> Hear -> Believe

      Peace of Gospel put on our feet as shoes, wherever we go, the good news are there, preaching, being hearing and believing in til we send the believers out to the end of earth. (Acts 1: 8)

(4)  Take up the shield of faith, with which you can

        extinguish all flaming arrows of the evil one.

        (V16)

       The shield is a protection, if we take up the shield of faith, we walk by faith, no fear and doubts, so we can extinguish all flaming arrows of the evil one, as words of discouragement, the Satans' lies and doubts.

(5)  Take the helmet of salvation. (V17a)

      Our minds are positive and healthy. We need to protect our minds as helmet of salvation, and who do we believe in? We believe in Jesus and we have known he died our places for our sins, so that the devil can't attack your minds and thoughts.

(6)  The sword of Spirit which is the Word of God.

        (V17b)

        In Tanzania, the Masai men carry the sword, they prepare to fight as the warriors. We need to have Word of God inside of us, so that we can use it to attack our enemies.

       In Hebrews 4: 12 said; "For the Word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart."

       WOW! The Word of God has power and sharper than any double-edge sword, it penetrates our soul and spirit and judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart. (Our characters)

      Next time, we talk about how to pry in the spirit will make full armor of God six pieces to function each others well.

Send yourself to go, preach Word of God, so that people hear and believe in Jesus!
