Good -Life Devotional: 

PUT ON THE ARMOUR OF RIGHTEOUSNESS

By Rev Michael Benson Ajayi 

    The armour of righteousness is essential for every believer navigating the spiritual battles of life. In 2 Corinthians 6:7, Paul highlights this divine protection, saying, “By [speaking] the word of truth in the power of God; by the weapons of righteousness for the right hand [like holding the sword to attack] and for the left [like holding the shield to defend]” (AMP). This armour equips us to stand firm against the forces of darkness, both offensively and defensively, as we uphold God’s truth.

   Righteousness is not merely moral uprightness but a state of being aligned with God through faith in Jesus Christ. As believers, we are called to actively wear this armour, living lives that reflect God's holiness. In 1 John 5:18, we are assured, “We know [with confidence] that anyone born of God does not [habitually] sin; but He (Jesus) who was born of God keeps him [safe], and the evil one does not touch him” (AMP). Righteous living acts as a shield, preventing the enemy’s schemes from penetrating our lives.

Ephesians 6:14 exhorts believers to “stand firm therefore, having tightened the wide band of truth (personal integrity, moral courage) around your waist and having put on the breastplate of righteousness” (AMP). This imagery reinforces the need for vigilance and preparation.

    Through Christ, we are empowered to walk in righteousness, trusting that He protects us from harm (Psalm 91:4). By consistently seeking His Word and living in obedience, we embrace the victorious life He has promised.

 In our daily prayers we should seek a healthy appetite for God's word and a pure heart to show forth his righteousness.

PRAYER: Heavenly Father forgive me of my sins against you I believe Jesus Christ died and was raised again for my salvation I receive him as lord and saviour and receive the Holy Spirit and power to live in holiness .
