Title: Be on your Guard Always!

"Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Ephesians 6:13"

Devotion : Jesus Christ has cautioned His children to be as wise as the serpent and as harmless as the dove. You need the wisdom of God to live and run the Christian race. There are many days in a Christian's life: the days of peace, joy, prosperity, and healing as well as an evil day. This evil day is the day that the devil and his cohorts of darkness have been planning all this while to get you.

F They are looking for the slightest opportunity to unleash their venom on you. This is why you need to prepare against this day with the whole armor of God. This includes the belt of truth, breastplate of righteousness, boot of the preparation of the gospel of peace, shield of faith, helmet of salvation, and sword of the Spirit (Ephesians 6:14-17). 

  Any of the armor that is lacking is a door the enemy can use to get you, so don't compromise on any of them since these will enable you to overcome your evil day.    An old film I watched was titled a little sin, the heroine was a righteous university student. One day she was pressed, tricked into a sin of fornication by a choiremaster. The idea was that they will ask God for forgiveness after commiting the sin but one thing led to another she could not pray that night and died before the next day. She went to hell, while choiremaster confessed and begged God for forgiveness and was saved. This is a case of momentary loss of guard.

 So be on your guards always there's no room for relaxation. The day of the Lord comes when you least expect be expectant and live as if there will not be another day. May God see is through in Jesus' name Amen.
