Put on Christ...!

Romans 13:11-14 NKJV

And do this, knowing the time, that now it  is high time to awake out of sleep; for now our salvation is nearer than when we first believed. The night is far spent, the day is at hand. Therefore let us cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armor of light. Let us walk properly, as in the day, not in revelry and drunkenness, not in lewdness and lust, not in strife and envy. But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to fulfill  its lusts.

Shalom! Day #360. Do you know that as a believer, we are aught to put on the Lord Jesus Christ as you continue to live on this earth? Let's pray. Father, as we live this life, every minute let us represent Christ. To be the light of Christ in this world. In Jesus name we ask and pray, amen!

Folks, we are living in the high times. Time for the second coming of Christ our King. Therefore,  let us be awaken from our sleep, and be ready. The night is spent in sleep and rest, therefore while it's still day, let us cast off the works of darkness and put on the armor of God, the armor of truth and the armor of light (Eph 6:10-20). Being a follower of Christ doesn't mean that you life as how you want, but in every way being a good testimony to people around you. Sorry, I'm not judging but I speak as per what I see. Many Christian, youth especially, came from a strong Christian family, yet living their lives as though belong to the darkness. Party here and there, drunkenness, especially during this Christmas season, people celebrate it with liquor and alcohol. Where is there testimony of Christ in their life? Christian for name sake. Yet, there is an open door for them, God gives them time to repent, His grace period for them, if it has passed the time, then the invitation is closed.

To live on this world is hard, yet if you know they ways, it will be extremely easy.

1. Put on the armor of God (Ephesians 6:10-20)
⊙ apostle Paul said to work out our salvation.

- do not take it likely the salvation of God in your life. To fight this world,  1st you must know that we aren't fighting against the people of this world, or against your neighbours,  or your families but against the power and the principalities of the darkness of this world. To stand strong and work out your salvation is to put on the armor of God and to fight it, and not to flow with the darkness.

2. Put on the Lord Jesus Christ.
⊙ Christ is our ultimate victory.

- Christ defeated the devil at the cross. Even during the 40 days of fasting, the devil tried many ways to tempt Him, yet He remained strong and fought the devil. Put on the Lord Jesus Christ as you walk this life in battling with every works of the devil for Christ is our Victor who gave us victory.

So, folks,  let us not be conformed to this world, but in every steps of our lives, put on Christ and the armor of God as you battle the darkness.

Let this day be the day of the Lord!
