DAILY DEVOTIONS MCZ MISSION DEPARTMENT
"Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of His power. Put on the whole armor of God, so that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil." To be strong in the Lord means to be in a spiritual union with Christ, drawing strength from His divine power. As Christians, we are engaged in a spiritual battle against unseen forces of evil, not against flesh and blood. Our struggle is against principalities and powers that seek to undermine our faith.
To emerge victorious, we must put on the spiritual armor that God has provided. This armor includes:
- Truth: Knowing God's Word and living by its principles
- Righteousness: Living a life that reflects God's character
- Peace: Being grounded in God's peace that surpasses all understanding
- Faith: Trusting in God's power and promises
- Salvation: Embracing the gift of salvation through Jesus Christ
- The Word of God: Being equipped with the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God
This is a call to action for believers to actively engage in spiritual warfare. We do this by relying on God's strength, not our own, and putting on His armor to stand firm against the devil's attacks. As Christians, we need to remember that our victory over spiritual forces comes through the power of God, not through our own efforts. It's in His strength that we can stand firm, overcome challenges, and emerge victorious.
