Life Tool

Text: Eph. 6:13
More Lessons: John 16:7-13

Our God is a God of order. He made provisions for His children to live above the limitations of this life. As a tool chest that is full of tools, so is the believer in Christ given all kinds of godliness spiritual tools and blessings necessary for life and godliness. We are not defenseless. Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Chris: Eph. 1:3.

An apt understanding of these tools and their specific functions and applications will enable the believer walk in the fullness of power and dominion. Examples are: the name of Jesus (Phil. 2:10) the blood of Jesus (Heb. 10:19) etc. But all our interest this time is on the Word of God (Eph. 6:17). The power of the Word of God is matchless. It's an incredible tool in the believer's walk of victory. Even God honours His Word above his name; …for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name: Psa. 32:2. So the next time you read the Word of God, do it with the consciousness that you are in contact with the most powerful and eternal tool straight from the heart of God. Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away: Luk. 21:33. One of the reasons why we sometimes find it difficult to believe that God will do what he says in His Word is because we ourselves fail to do what we say we will do. So our inadequacy in integrity makes it sub-consciously difficult for us to accept and believe in the integrity of God's Word. But … for he is not a man, that he should repent: I Sam. 15:29.

Considering the account of the temptation of Jesus Christ by the devil, you will realize that the enemy is so desperate and daring, that he even thinks he can overcome the Son of God. This means that nobody is exempted from the tempter's striking range. But praise God, Jesus knew just what tool to use against Satan's temptations; He spoke the Word. The arsenal that really sends the enemy back and quenches all his fiery darts in our hearts and minds is not our years of experience or constant pleading of the Blood of Jesus alone, but speaking theWord of God against him. Remember that at this time Jesus was even carrying in veins the spotless blood that saved us all, yet He didn't plead the Blood; He spoke the Word against the adversary. Daily victory over demonic suggestions and temptations is depends on how much of God's Word fills our hearts and proceeds from our lips. Stop that devil today; confess the Word of God!
