The Alpha of Making Our Lives Weapon-Proof


UV 3115/10000 The Alpha of Making Our Lives Weapon-Proof
No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is of me, saith the LORD.
Isaiah 54 v 17
This uni-verse makes our lives weapon-proof. No weapon of man, or of the supernatural world or of the natural can prosper or succeed against us. Our enemies may conspire against us but in so doing, they conspire against the Lord and He will certainly have the last laugh. The human tongue is also a potent weapon. It is called a “tongue” not without reason for sometimes the words spoken by others can hit us like a ton of bricks or cover us with a heap of rubbish. But the Lord promises that the words of the human tongue will hurt us no more. Nobody will be able to raise their tongues against us for the Lord will enable us to refute them effectively. He will put to shame our adversaries and vindicate us.
In order to be weapon-proof or immune to all types of human and spiritual attacks, we need to be faithful in wearing the full armour of God. We do not shrink from the battle. We do not resent our struggles as long as the Lord is with us. We should be ever battle-ready. We cannot go into battle every day wearing just our clothes. We need to be equipped and we need to wear the armour from head to foot. If we do so, we will have victory even without having to fight for the Lord will fight for us. We only need to take our positions of faith in prayer and dig deep into the word and hide in these spiritual trenches. We are declared to be more than conquerors for by faith we know the end result of victory, triumph, success, blessing, breakthrough even at the beginning unlike any warrior or conqueror who does not know the result of battle or his own fate. We know that we cannot be separated from the love of the Saviour and of the Father by death or suffering or sadness or failure or bondage.
The Lord empowers us to overcome all apprehensions and fears of any kind of weapon. The opposite of fear is not courage but faith in Jesus. Courage is a byproduct of faith. Faith implies that “for all I trust Him, for all I thank Him, for all I talk to Him.” The Lord protects us from the internal weapons that weaken humanity- anxiety or worry. The Lord neutralises all our fears, worries, guilt, remorse, grief, regret for these are weapons that can kill us from within. The Lord protects us when the flood waters rise. As we hold onto our faith, the Lord preserves us in catastrophes or disasters, natural or man-made as I experienced in the world’s first human bomb assassination.
