You’ll probably expect this post to be about trendy clothings and footwears to add to your closet? You sure guessed right but better than that I will be writing about invaluable kind of wears.
Have you ever heard of wears worth more than diamonds? I mean wears that never go out of trend and only appreciates like real estates? I have, and I believe they are must-haves in 2017. Gone are the days we only dress to look handsome or pretty, to protects us from unfavourable weather conditions and cover our nakedness.
It is time to take our clothing/fashion sense a step further. I present to you the “Armour 2017 Collection”. All ensembles in this collection are harm proof. They do not only have the ability to protect one physically; they also protect spiritually and make the wearer capable of doing supernatural things.
Inspired by Ephesians 6:11-18
The message version of the bible says, “So take everything the Master has set out for you, well-made weapons of the best materials. And put them to use so you will be able to stand up to everything the devil throws your way. This is no afternoon athletic contest that we’ll walk away from and forget about in a couple of hours. This is for keeps, a life-or-death fight to the finish against the devil and all his angels.
Be prepared. You’re up against far more than you can handle on your own. Take all the help you can get, every weapon God has issued, so that when it’s all over but the shouting you’ll still be on your feet. Truth, righteousness, peace, faith, and salvation are more than words. Learn how to apply them. You’ll need them throughout your life. God’s Word is an indispensable weapon. In the same way, prayer is essential in this ongoing warfare”.
The Message version is quite explainatory. Let’s take a closer look at each armour through the lense of the King James version.
13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
We live in times when peculiar news of war, terrorist attacks, deaths and acts of evil are increasing. Putting on the WHOLE armour of God is essential to stand and overcome. One thing the armour of God does is to shield our vital parts from evil. It is important to know that this vital parts are symbollic. For example, The helmet protects our head; It is a known fact that if anything happens to the head/brain, it affects the entire body. The brain also has the ability to save or prevent other body parts from harm. Join me as I illustrate the importance of each armour. Abram believed the Lord, and he credited it to him as righteousness.
Loins Girt About With Truth
Ephesians 6:14a Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth,
The Breast Plate of Righteousness
Ephesians 6:14b and having on the breastplate of righteousness. Abram believed the Lord, and he credited it to him as righteousness.
Feet Shod with the Preparation of the Gospel Of Peace
Ephesians 6:15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;
Shield of Faith
Ephesians 6:16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. Overplapping shields also allows the soldiers to advance together. The shields are used to defend the whole body including the back.
Helmet of Salvation
Ephesians 6:17 And take the helmet of salvation
The Sword of the Spirit
Ephesians 6:17b and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. The Helmet of Salvation is the Hope of Salvation. It is hope that sustains us in the warfare. Hope that we are God’s own and that we are saved from everlasting death.
Ephesians 6:18 Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints. So don’t forget to pray for all saints and even backsliders.
To shop the look, visit the bible and let the Holy Spirit be your style guide. Remember, the whole armour of God is a Must-Have.
