Text: Romans 13:12 (KJV)
The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us
therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light
Friends, as believers, we are called out of darkness and therefore we should not live as men of darkness. Yes, the world is filled with darkness and wickedness but God still instructs us to put on the armour of light which rubs in us as we embrace Jesus the light of the world. Life of darkness is an old nature and should not be seen in our conduct and in our daily behaviours as become saints. So, as we yield our lives to Christ we should put on a new armour which the armour of light. It is a reflection of righteousness and holiness. Eph.6:14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness. It is a life that pleases God in all ramifications. We can see the armour of a soldier that protects him from the attack, so life of holiness shields us from dark arrows of this world. It is our bullet proof before the wicked, so we must wear it as our garment today.
Interesting, this is Christ-like kind of life where we live with spiritual alertness and readiness with His character. So, as we put on Christ, our light will shine over darkness. Psalm 27:1 The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear. It is a lifestyle of truth and transparency that we must engage ourselves into as believers. This means you are reflecting honesty and openness. It is an identity that distinguishes us from sin and temptation therefore sin have no more dominion over us. So, with this garment you avoid compromise and secrecy that makes for hidden sin which affects our daily living. But, God will deliver us as we put on the armour of light in Jesus name.
PRAYER
POINT:
1. Father,
baptize us afresh with Your love, Your mind, Your nature that will make us
shine as the light of world as we cannot be hidden in Jesus name.
