Isaiah 11:5 NKJV
Righteousness shall be the belt of His loins, And faithfulness the belt of His waist.

† Shalom †....! Day #289. Do you know that without this two the belts of righteousness and faithfulness, the devil can easily strip you naked and make you to stumble and fall as you serve and follow the Lord? Let's pray. Father, let righteousness and faithfulness be our belt and never to be loosen as we serve and follow You wholeheartedly. In Jesus name we ask and pray, amen!
Friends, in Ephesians 6:14 NKJV it says that "Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness..." As we serve the Lord and follow Him, we are aught to serve is righteousness and to follow Him in faithfulness. The belt of righteousness or shall I say the breastplate of righteousness shields us from every attacks of the devil. When you continue to serve the Lord, the devil will try his very best to bring you down back to where you were once. One of his well known ways is to induce and seduce.one to commit adultery. That's his well known weapon. If you aren't girded with the breastplate of righteousness, very easily you will fall and back to zero point of your life.
Remain faithful as you continue to walk with Him and follow Him. When the truth of God is in you, that's the words of God alive in you, you shall feed you spirit with His truth and His truth will teach you to remain faithful. Many people give up in serving in the ministry as well as following Jesus because of unfaithfulness, because their foundation in God isn't based on the truth of His word, the solid Rock, but bases on the philosophies of the world and when they're entangled with it, they find it more soothing to be led by the world. Faithfulness teaches us to remain loyal, to remain in truth and to obey the truth of His word. I cannot serve God faithfully if I'm not abiding myself in the Lord, growing in Him, obeying His commands and executing it. Jesus is the very good example for us. He is a faithful servant and a friend because He is willing to obey the commands of God and willing to give His life for His friends, you and me. So, without righteousness and faithfulness, the devil can easily strip you off amd you nakedness will be seen by everyone. Continue to pursue righteousness and faithfulness as you grow and mature in the Lord.
Let this day be the day of the Lord!
