Eph 6:16
“Above all, taking the shield of faith,
wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.”
Faith here is symbolized as a shield, which is
very instructive and encouraging. This is so because when Paul was penning this
passage of the scripture he had before him in full view how a Roman soldier is
dressed in their full armour.
The shield back then is not like the tiny ones
we see in our books now. The Roman soldier’s shield is such that when it is
held, it gives full covering to the soldier and does not leave any part of him
exposed. So you can understand the term ‘above all’, it
gives an over all covering. This is also the reason all the fiery darts of the
wicked will not touch you, they may be thrown at you, if your faith is in
place.
You need to be persuaded about this, because
there are believers who believe in win some lose some. No, a thousand and one
times No! If you can quench ALL the fiery darts of the wicked, where is the win
some, lose some in that? That is a win all situation. That is the NO weapon
formed against you shall prosper situation.
