TOPIC: ARMOUR OF GOD AGAINST THE WILES OF THE DEVIL
TEXT: Ephesians 6:11
Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
Memory Verse: 2 Corinthians 11:3 But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.
FOCUS
In this series we are going to be looking at why should we sharpen our swords and why do we need the whole armour of God . A wise man said until purpose is known abuse is inevitable. You have to know why your sword should remain sharpened. What is the essence of a blunt sword, it’s as good as you don’t have a sword. When you sharpen your sword, you are not afraid of any battle that may come against you.
I should sharpen my sword against the wiles of the devil. What is wiles? It talks about the gimmicks of satan, the deception of the devil, things that the devil has put that will subtitle deceive a person, it’s a cunning strategy employed in manipulating or persuading someone.
The word wiles is not just a deception, it is a trick. When you deceive, you make sure the person do what the person ordinarily wouldn’t do. It could also be a bait where the person is lured into what he doesn’t want to do. All this put together, is what we call the wiles of the devil. Anytime you see the wiles of the devil, you can use your sword to cut it off instantly. When you don’t understand that the devil is out on a rage, you may fall victim of his wiles. Be strong, sharpen your sword with the word of God.
LESSON
Numbers 25:18
For they vex you with their wiles, wherewith they have beguiled you in the matter of Peor, and in the matter of Cozbi, the daughter of a prince of Midian, their sister, which was slain in the day of the plague for Peor’s sake.
God is telling them here that, this Midianites have deceived them in the time past, vex them, bring out your sword kill them, destroy them, take revenge. What did they do ? According to another translation, they harassed you with their wiles. They lured, deceived, there was a trick they carried out.
If you don’t put on the armour of God, the devil will keep deceiving you, he will tell you white when it’s actually black. Bring out your sword cut off the head of your enemies, those who are against you don’t spare them, look at them in the face and say the last time you deceive me is the last.
Our God is a God that answereth prayers and he wants you to sharpen your sword so that you can attack the enemy, move like a flint so you don’t become a victim in life. Don’t ever carry a sword that is blunt, put on the whole armour of God wherein you can quench, cut, dash with your sword all the wiles; as the devil is bringing it, you are cutting it, as the devil wants to trick you, you are cutting it. This will be our experience in Jesus Name. Amen
