Above All, Take Faith
by Dr Dawuda
Text: Eph. 6:10-20
Faith is one of the Spiritual armour we are charged to put on for our spiritual warfare.
Paul did not underestimate the fact that we are in battle with the world of darkness, evil and wickedness. Evil is real, Wickedness is real.
The Bible instructs us to take "the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked." Eph. 6:16
There are facts we need to know here, that the illustration given here is expected to help us paint picture vividly the battle that is engaging our very souls.
Faith means the ability to receive what you trust God for. It is substantiating your belief in seeing it come to pass. Trusting God that what He said He will do He'll really do. The book of Romans gives the most vivid description of faith, "And being fully persuaded that, what He had promised, He was able also to perform." Rom. 4:21. Faith calleth those things that be not as though they were. Faith, such type that Jesus praises is the one expressed by the gentile (a centurion) when he told Christ to speak the word only, meanwhile Jesus had the intension of going to the house; Jesus told the crowd, 'verily I say unto you, I have not found such great faith, no, not in Israel. Matt. 8:10
You must have faith in God, if you want to get results. A dumb faith fetches no result. You must learn to say something to your mountains. Say something without doubting in your heart. Say something believing, and you shall have whatsoever you say. Mark 11:23

Such flames has the tendency to scare us away from the battle front. The darts are not just sharp and swift but it is also fiery. So when the darts gets you it also burns you. Those darts are not aimed at killing you immediately but to discourage you gradually, softly and finally wear you out of the battle for your destiny.
You have only one major call. To make heaven. In making, you fulfill all your holy call and vocation on earth. This is where the shield of faith comes in.
So whenever you are counting on God to protect, provide and direct you by faith you are simply saying, no plan of the enemy will deter you.
This passage anyway can best be understood when you read it this way. "Above all, take faith, wherewith you shall be able..." whether it is called a shield or a bullet proof etc. all that matters is that we should not move our face away from the fact that it is faith we are talking about.
So paraphrasing it we will say that, "Taking faith above all other weapons will enable you...

Profit in Christian faith comes not through wonderful rhema of God's word alone but by mixing the word with faith. Heb 4:2
Jesus did not tell us how big how faith needs to be in order to confront problems but how productive. The size of a mustard seed shows how productive that tiny little seed can be when it is planted; it grows to be a big tree. Have faith, no matter how small; it should grow, grow, and be very productive in dealing with ALL principalities and powers.
Whenever any problem comes to you, Above that problem take faith, Above that joblessness take faith, Above that pain take faith, Above that low income take faith, Above that situation take faith, Above that humiliation take faith. Stand above average, above fear, above heartaches, above rage.
