Put on all of God's armour...

As I was preparing for my two-hour lecture on Friday, I was browsing through some electronic database and Ephesians, in that, had the above subtitle.
Suddenly, something clicked within me and I realised that when God asks us to put of the full armour he means the full armour, not just the helmet for the supposedly easy battles and the full armour left only for the ones we consider tough but a child of God is ready for any attack at any point of time therefore, we put on the full armour of God at all times.
And, it is this readiness and expectation [we are receiving related teaching on Acts in from our apostle so I might just add that I have been inspired on this] that causes the heavenlies to open for us and manifest a transition from the natural to the supernatural for us. Praise God that we live a naturally supernatural life of readiness and expectation. Praise God that Pentecost is continuing till date!

Fallen world or fallen attitudes...

I read these statistics today…

In India 15 million children live as bonded child labourers
More than 18 million children live on the streets, homeless and without hope.
Close to 2 million children do not live to see their first birthday.
Over 500,000 are forced into child prostitution.
Over 100 million children in India between 6 and 14 years of age are outside the school system and therefore highly likely to be child labourers.

I didn’t feel like blaming many others, whom I would very justly have, rather what am I doing in my everyday life to be effective as a citizen of the Kingdom of God.
