TAKE UP THE SHIELD OF FAITH BY PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME.
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 (Ephesians 6:13).
When you read about the armour of God in Ephesians 6, youβll discover that the description of what weβre supposed to put on reveals how the enemy fights. We can decipher, from our own defensive paraphernalia what weapons the enemy uses: βStand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. And take the helmet of salvationβ¦β (Ephesians 6:14-17).
Notice what it says about faith: with it, you can quench all of Satanβs fiery darts. That tells us what kind of material his missiles are. His missiles all have to do with making you accept something or believe something against God. These may be fiery darts of discouragement, depression, fear, failure or sickness; all aimed at making you take a stand against Godβs Word. But the Bible says, ββ¦taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wickedβ (Ephesians 6:16). With your faith, you can put out, not some, but all of the fiery missiles of the wicked one. Your faith is your shield.
Take up your faith! Donβt give it up. Someone said, βI was actually acting in faith, but things went wrong and I gave up.β No! Donβt drop your faith; the missiles directed at you from demonic forces can only be neutralized by faith.
The Bible says βSo then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of Godβ (Romans 10:17). The more of Godβs Word that comes into your spirit, the more faith you get. And the more you use your faith, the more itβs strengthened; and when the devil throws his missiles, youβll be unmoved because theyβll be disintegrated by your shield of faith.
CONFESSION
My faith is a weapon of defense and an instrument of victory over and against the adversary and adversities. With it, I put out all the fiery missiles of the wicked one. The Word of God has taken full possession of my spirit, soul and body. Iβm eternally triumphant in Christ because my faith is the victory that overcomes the world!
