The whole armor of God

The whole armor of God


Putting the whole armor of God entails belt of truth, breastplate of righteousness, helmet of Salvation, sword of the spirit, shield of faith and shoes to spread the Gospel of peace.

The belt of Truth



 The belt of truth is to hold steadfast our courage that God stand before us in every battle and He will never leave us nor forsake us. (Deut 4:31, 31:5-6; Joshua 1:9; Psalms 27:14; Rom 5:3-5).







Breastplate of Righteousness



The Breastplate of righteous is to confess sins daily as we repent toward living a Godly life (Rom 12:1-2; 1 Peter 2:11, 1:13-16; 1 Tim 4:7; 1 Cor 11:1-34) ,generally, upholding the two “love” that Christ gave us. (Matt 22:37-40).


Shoes to spread the gospel of peace
 The shoes or feet to spread the gospel of peace is the great commission (Matt 28:16-20) of Christians (believers of Christ) to propagate the good news that God has made friendship with mankind. (John 3:16; Rom 5:5; Rom 8:37-39; Eph 2:4-5).  It is a reunion of God and Man that we are not condemned to death but we are awarded the gift of eternal life if men believe so. Though temptations of the world prevails to test your shield of faith and helmet of salvation, God has made peace with Man, salved and salvaged us from the power of sin: the enemy’s Bondage over us but it is a free will to all to choose or not to choose as an act of love reciprocation on our side as men.  Love begets love- 1 Thess 3:5.  




Sword of the Spirit
The Sword of the Spirit is to read your bible and pray every day for us to grow spiritually and increase our intimacy with God. The word of God is a double edged sword, (Heb 4:12) it will teach us how to live right through the help of the Holy Spirit.(John 16:7, 14:26)


Helmet of salvation
 The shield of faith is only acquired when you receive the helmet of salvation. It is a strong belief that God has salve and salvage us from the flaming arrows of the evil one. We receive salvation, even though, we are His enemies (Rom 5:10). But God still loved us and yet we were sinners that He reconciled us through the gospel of Christ in which we stand by faith. (John 15:13).






Shield of faith


The whole armor of God will salve and salvage us to Christ as we have a Heavenly helper who works for good for who love God and do according to His purpose. For the world is full of trouble, the race is neither for the swift nor the battle (Ecclesiastes 9:11) for the strong but the battle is for God (Exod 14:13; 2 Chron 20:15; Deut 20:1; 1 Sam 17:47; 2 Chron 32:8) for it is a spiritual warfare for mankind between the Heavenly father and Satan with his dominion of the dark spirit world. (Eph 6:12) 

How to do salve and salvage ourselves?

How to do salve and salvage ourselves?




God, by being gracious, loving and present in our lives, chose us by creating a window of opportunity to salve and salvage us for Himself. This is due to the Adamaic sin had multiplied to all kinds of pestilence that has drowned the whole World as we know it and forcing God to live away from us. Man creating weapons of mass destruction is a perfect example that God and all the Saints detest and thereby before this age, He sent His son Jesus Christ to live among us, experience God’s word in flesh at a spiritual intimacy level, reveal His miracle live in the midst of our helplessness (2 Cor 12:9-12) and salve and salvage all mankind to whoever is willing.

Through God the Son, we can enter the kingdom of Heaven with thanksgiving and praise in our hearts by believing and confessing that Jesus died and rose again for the sake of our sins. By doing so, we will salve our sore and wounds of our souls, hearts, mind and our overall well-being and salvage our heavenly inheritance of eternal life and heavenly assets and our very own lives on Earth, we receive protection, comfort, peace, prosperity and wisdom on how to salvage and to be fruitful in all what we do on Earth. Our Adversary, REMEMBER, want us to seem non-existent and torment us with sea perils of all kinds (2 Cor 12: 7; Job 1-2) so that we doubt that GOD IS BAD, GOD IS DEAD OR GOD DOES NOT EXIST. We are not aware of Satan’s schemes in our lives (2 Cor 2:11) and so we ought to salve and salvage by putting on the whole armor of God. (Eph 6:10-18) and know that GOD IS GOOD ALL TIME, GOD IS ALIVE AND GOD EXISTS OMNIPRESENTLY.

Lets salve and salvage by saying this prayer:

" Lord Jesus, I know that I am a sinner and that you sacrificed yourself for my sake by dying on the cross and conquering death. Lord Jesus, I repent from my sins, allowing you to come into my heart as I confess to the Heavens that you are my saviour. Write my name in the book of Life, I humbly pray in Jesus name,

Why are we salving and salvaging?


We are salving and salvaging because our lives have capsized into the sea of death while wounds acquired from the peril of Adamaic sin which Satan devised to separate man from God and gain control over man and his new kingdom: Earth after being kicked out of heaven. (Rev 12:7-12). He made our ancestors disobey by deceiving them to eat fruit from the tree of knowledge of good and evil. We were rendered dead in the eyes of the Lord and in reality.
We are salving and salvaging the lost love of God among ourselves and our environment. Though, such torment and tribulation face us mankind, God, full of love, grace and mercy, had to salve and salvage us first by using Himself, God the Son, to conquer death and all our fears of unsalvaged shipwrecked lives (i.e. aspects of our lives where we have no control of). Christ salved and salvaged us to confirm that there is nothing is impossible with God (Matt 19:26 and Luke 1:37) Salving and salvaging was marvelous mystery which angels are looking into it, unknown to them, though, they are at the heavenly presence of God with unlimited knowledge concerning all things.
