Taking the Sword of the Spirit. Part 2
It is an inconceivable tragedy to neglect this valuable offensive weapon that can arrest and frustrate every attack of the enemy. Hear me child of God the Word of God is the sword that your spirit man wields against every onslaught of the enemy and what you use in pulling down every stronghold in your life. This is God's Word that has become flesh in you and quickened by the Holy Spirit when you need it.
Taking the sword of the Spirit “Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. And take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God”. Ephesians 6:17
The scripture admonishes us to take the sword of the Spirit, but the question is how do I do just that? It is evident that most Christians tend to search through concordance or Bible commentaries in times of adversities for that magical word which supposedly is the sword of the Spirit that will enable them assault the devil and his cohorts. However, this is a very wrong way of taking the sword of the Spirit, hence we have not been able to invade the assailant and his cohorts and see victory repeatedly in our walk with God and our profession faith.
In 1 Timothy 4:13, Apostle Paul instructs his son in the faith that “till I come, give attendance to reading, to exhortation, to doctrine” and recapitulates in 2 Timothy 2:15 that declares “Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth”. Thus indicating that taking the sword of the Spirit entails giving attention to reading, to exhortation, to doctrine, studying, meditating, memorizing and storing up of God's Word in our spirit man. Doing these on a consistent basis long before the adversary and his cohorts’ show up, will put you in a better position to exercise the sword of the spirit.
The Word of God which, you have studied, meditated, and memorized will provide an immediate availability of God's Word which becomes a sword, with which you are able to witness and engage effectively in spiritual warfare when the enemy and his cohorts comes with their onslaught. As you learn to take up the sword of the Spirit and appropriate the other amours of God, let me assure you that no matter the issues of life with regards to everything that concern you and your family, victory shall not elude you in Jesus Name.
