3 Keypoints From: Shoes Of The Gospel

  • Imagine how much peace will be in your country if one of the souls you have won becomes the president of your country tomorrow.
  • When you are the only Christian in your neighbourhood or family, you are more open to attacks because everyone around you is in the opponent's army.
  • When you go out to preach, what you are spreading is peace, not chaos, and for anyone that receives the gospel, the first thing they will experience in their heart is peace.

  • “Put on the shoes of the gospel of peace now; preach to at least one person daily.”

    When you preach the gospel, you are doing it for your own security.

    Memorise: And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; -Ephesians 6:15

    4 Keypoints From: The Breastplate Of Righteousness

  • To be righteous is to always do the right thing according to God’s standards, When you are righteous, your heart is protected against the tricks of the devil.
  • The moment you stop being righteous, you expose your heart to all manners of sin in the world, and this is how backsliding starts. -Proverbs 4:23
  • If it is not really bad, it is already bad.
  • Removing every form of carnality from your life is the only way to keep your breastplate of righteousness on.

  • “Is the devil already presenting something that does not seem really bad to you, and you are already making up an excuse for yourself to do it? Desist from that thing immediately; his plan is to get you to remove your breastplate of righteousness so that your heart can become open for his attacks.”

    Memorise: He that followeth after righteousness and mercy findeth life, righteousness, and honour. Proverbs 21:21

    3 Keypoints From: The Belt Of Truth

  • Living by the truth (God's words) makes it impossible to become captives of anything the world has to offer. -John 8:32 Truth give you a perpective gar greater than that of the world. -Psalm 119:100
  • The devil is the father of lies (John 8:44); he will try to lie to you and twist the truth every now and then. (That's why you must know the truth so you won't fall for his tricks)
  • Devil sometimes disguises himself like an angel of light (2 Corinthians 11:14). He can tell you that the grace of God covers all sins and that you can keep sinning and still go to heaven.

  • “Devil can come up with logical reasons to tell you that God doesn't exist or that He is wiecked and doesn't love you. These are lies that he has used to strip people of their belt of truth in the past. Don't fall for his tricks.

    Memorise: Stand therefore, having your loins girth about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; -Ephesians 6:14
