The word of God is capable of shaping a man’s thought pattern (Ephesians 6:17). Any character challenge that you have is as a result of lack of God’s word. You can be a Christian and become spiritually malnourished because there is an area in your life that you have not allowed the word of God to work on (Hebrews 4:12, Psalm 119:9, John 15:3, 6:63)
Two things soldiers are trained for
- A sense of attitude
- A sense of responsibility – what you are meant to accomplish
Soldiers don’t fight themselves, rather they fight their enemies (2 Corinthians 3:18, 2 Timothy 2:14). You must be trained in attitude and aptitude before you go and act (Galatians 5:22-23, Ephesians 5:17)
The armour of God that every true soldier must bear (Ephesians 6:10-18)
- Gird yourself with truth
- The breastplate of righteousness
- The gospel of peace
- The helmet of salvation (1 Thessalonians 5:8, Isaiah 59:17)
In order to be preserved as a true soldier, you need to become a terrible soul winner and become protective of your salvation.
Prayer line: Father I receive help from above to always put on your armour in Jesus name. Amen!
