Gospel of Peace (Shoes)

                          

Title: Gospel of Peace (Shoes)

Scripture:

- and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. Eph.6.15

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Devotional Thought:

In the armor of God, our feet are equipped with shoes that represent the gospel of peace. This piece of armor symbolizes stability, readiness, and a foundation rooted in peace.

Walking in Peace is being rooted in Christ- Our peace comes from a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. For our feet to be shod is to be guided by the word of God- the Scripture: God's Word provides wisdom and direction for our lives. Walking in peace is to be empowered by the Holy Spirit for witnessing the Gospel- The Spirit gives us strength and guidance to walk in peace.

Some of the characteristics of Walking in Peace is Confidence and assurance of Divine Safety- trusting in God's sovereignty and goodness. It is also living by divine Purpose- Living with intentionality and direction. And also characterised by readiness- that is being prepared to share the gospel and live out our faith regardless of whether it’s favourable or otherwise.

Luke.10.19 - Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you.

As believers and Christ's soldiers we need to Cultivate and nurture a habit of spreading the message of peace and prioritizing prayer, intercession, meditation, and reflection. We should always be prepared to share our faith with others and align our lives with God's plan and purpose. It's also a way of fighting the kingdom of the Enemy. Evangelism and soul winning help to depopulate the kingdom of darkness and to increase the God’s Army.

Rev.12.11 - And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death.
