TOPIC: HOME WITHOUT FENCE
Read: Ephesians 6:10-18
MEMORISE: Can a man take fire to his bosom, and his clothes not be burned? (Proverbs 6:27).
EXPOSITION
It has always been risk to live in a house without door or fence. The people of the underworld easily gain access to such houses, execute their evil plans, and leave the owner and other occupants in pains and grief.
As it is physically, so it is spiritually. It is dangerous for Christian home to be without the presence of Christ Jesus as the door and the pillar of the home. Any life, home, or church without fence (Jesus) defenceless, vulnerable and dangerously exposed to Satan and his cohorts with their nefarious attacks. A soldier in the warfront must be armed.
Paul instructs us in Eph. 6:10ff to put on the whole armour of God. He adds: be strong in the lord and in the power of His might. As a child of the living God, the weapon of our warfare is not carnal but spiritual and very potent to the pulling down of every satanic stronghold everywhere and in every form/manifestation. To withstand attacks, we must find our strength in God and solely depend on Him through and in the Lord Jesus Christ (Jn. 15:5,6).
Living your life outside Christ makes you prone to the devil's attack. Don’t try to live your life without the Holy Spirit, having given your life totally to Jesus Christ. Only He can expose the strategies (plans) of the devil to the child of God, unchallenged (Deut. 29:29; Ps. 25:14).
The God’s armour we are to put on includes: the belt of truth, breastplate of righteousness, peace from the gospel, shield of faith, salvation, the sword of the spirit, which is the Word of God, and persistence in prayer. Any life that lacks these spiritual weapons, is a life without fence, and is accordingly defenceless.
PRAYER POINTS
1. Lord, empower and defend me and my household against every attack of the enemies.
2. I mend, by the power of God, those cracks through which the enemy of our souls and his cohorts penetrate, in Jesus’ name.
3. Father, strengthen Your Church to be able to resist the attacks of the evil ones.
EXTRA READING FOR TODAY: Ezekiel 12 – 13
Good morning. Thanks be to God for His love, mercy and grace. May His holy name be praised.
Jesus is the way, the truth and the life. No other path to heaven, only through Jesus. Accept Him today as your Lord and Savior.
