Onward

In Ephesians, Paul writes to a young church that is fired up and passionate for God. In the first chapter, Paul explains our redemption through Jesus Christ; “our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places”. This is to encourage them and to help them know who they are in Christ Jesus.  

“For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.” 

Therefore, equip yourself with the full armour of God. Remember that we are overcomers, conquerors. We are blessed in the city and in the country, blessed going out and coming in. We are the head and not the tail, above only and not beneath.  

And finally, pray. Some call this the 7th piece of armour. The most important. 

While we are called to serve, we should be careful that we don’t burn ourselves out. Take time to rest, and remember that we can rest in Jesus. Recharge. We are easy targets when we are tired and weak. 

We are called to move forward push out darkness with light, fear with faith, hate with love.
