Be Strong in the Lord

To be a good and Godly husband, wife, son, daughter, father, mother, man,

woman, employee, employer, citizen of the Kingdom of God we all need to

 be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might.

St. Paul distills all of the lessons provided to Him by Jesus Christ Himself:

“In conclusion, be strong in the Lord (be empowered through your union

with Him); draw your strength from Him (the strength which His boundless

might provides).

Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able successfully to stand

up against all the strategies and the deceits of the devil.

For we are not wrestling with flesh and blood (contending only with physical

opponents), but against the despotisms, against the powers, against the

master spirits who are the world rulers of this present darkness, against the

spirit forces of wickedness in the heavenly (supernatural) sphere.

Therefore put on God’s complete armor, that you may be able to resist and

stand your ground on the evil day (of danger) and having done all the

(crisis demands), to stand (firmly in your place).

Stand therefore (hold your ground) having tightened the belt of truth

around your loins and having put on the breastplate of integrity and moral

rectitude and right standing with God,

And having shod your feet in preparation (to face the enemy with  the

firm-footed stability, the promptness, and the readiness produced by the

Good News of the Gospel of peace.

Lift up over all the (covering) shield of saving faith, upon which you can

quench all the flaming missiles of the wicked (one).

And take the helmet of salvation and the sword that the Spirit wields, which

is the Word of God.

Pray at all times (on every occasion, in every season) in the Spirit, with

every manner of entreaty. To that end keep alert and watch with strong

purpose and perseverance, interceding in behalf of all the saints (God’s

consecrated people).

And (pray) for me, that utterance may be given me, that I may open my

mouth to proclaim boldly the mystery of the Good News ( the Gospel).

(Ephesians 6.10-19).

POINTS FOR MEDITATION AND PRAISE

1) God’s full armor provides us with all we need to send our ground against

spiritual attacks. The battles we are engaged in appear to be physical.

They are however all spiritual. The only way to win is to be equipped with

all the spiritual armament God has given us.

2) The spiritual weapons we have are truth, right standing, the Good News,

faith, salvation and the Word of God.

3) We can discern that the enemy will try to throw us off-base, distract,

deter, discourage, depress and destroy. The spiritual strategies, ploys

and plots of the enemy can only be overthrown by the spiritual weapons

we have.

4) We have the truth. God’s word is truth. Jesus is the way, the truth and

the life. The more you know the word of God that is in the Holy Bible

the more confident you will be about your standing with God. You will

have the assurance of knowing that you rest on God’s promises, never

on your performance. When you stand firm on His word of promise

that is truth, you know that victory is His and His victory is yours.

5) The Gospel is the Best News ever. The fact that God loves you so much

that He sent His Unique Son Jesus to come and save you from destruction

by believing in Him is the greatest news. We have the faith of Christ and His

faith enables us to believe and trust in Him always. His faith enables us to

be saved. Because God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten

Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have everlasting

life. The Gospel is the Good News of salvation by grace (unearned favor)

by faith. So, His word tells us we are His, saved by the Word (Jesus), to

have right standing with Him by His faith. This, the Best News ever is our

best and strongest weapon.

PRAISE BE TO GOD WHO GIVES US THE VICTORY THROUGH OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST! HALLELUJAH!

Harmony in Marriage

Be subject to one another out of reverence for Christ

(the Messiah, the Anointed One).

Wives, be subject (the Savior of His body.

be submissive and adapt yourselves

to your own husbands as (a service) to the Lord.

For the husband is head of the wife as Christ is the Head

of the Church, Himself the Savior of His body.

As the Church is subject to Christ, so let wives also

be subject in everything to their husbands.

Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the Church

and gave Himself up for her,

So that He might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the

washing of water with the Word,

That He might present the Church to Himself in glorious

splendor, without spot or wrinkle or any such things (that

she might be holy and faultless).

Even so husbands should love their wives as (being in a sense)

their own bodies. He who loves his own wife loves himself.

For no man ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and carefully

protects and cherishes it, as Christ does the Church.

Because we are members (parts) of His body.

For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and shall be

joined to his wife and the two shall become one flesh.

This mystery is very great, but I speak concerning (the relation of) Christ

and the Church.

However, let each man of you (without exception) love his wife as (being

in a sense) his very own self; and let the wife see that see that she respects

and reverences her husband (that she notices him, regards him, honors

him, prefers him).

(Ephesians 5.21-33).

POINTS FOR MEDITATION AND PRAISE

1) We realize how much Jesus loves the Church and how He

wants us to love one another with His love.

2) To the extent that we experience His love we can express

His love.The perfect role model for us is Jesus Christ Himself.

HALLELIUJAH! PRAISE THE LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!

Do you not know brothers and sisters,

for I am speaking to those who are

acquainted with the Law, that the legal claims

have power over a person only for as

long as he or she is alive?

For instance, a married woman is bound

by law to her husband as long as he lives,

but if her husband dies, she is discharged

from the law concerning her husband.

Accordingly, if while her husband lives,

she marries another man, she will be

called an adulteress, but if her husband

dies, she is free from that law, so that

if she marries another man she is not an

adulteress.

Likewise my brothers and sisters you

have undergone death as to the Law

through the crucified body of Christ,

so that you may now belong to Another,

to Him Who was raised from the dead

in order that we may bear fruit to God.

( Romans 7.1-4).

Consider this and meditate:

1) The Law stipulated the codes

of behavior that is accepted by God.

2) We are alive in a new way which

brings about true righteousness,

spiritual life and eternal union with

God through our Lord  and Savior Jesus

Christ who rose from the dead and brought

about our justification and sanctification.
