FOREWORD
In a world where truth is often obscured by deception and falsehood, Pastor John James Abekah's insightful exploration of the Belt of Truth in spiritual warfare is a timely and invaluable resource for Christians seeking to navigate the complexities of spiritual battle.
As Pastor Abekah eloquently articulates, the Belt of Truth is not merely a symbolic component of the believer's spiritual armour; it is the foundational principle upon which our entire spiritual identity and purpose are built. Through a careful examination of Ephesians 6:14, Pastor Abekah unveils the profound significance of truth as the linchpin that holds together the whole armour of God.
Drawing from Scripture and personal experience, Pastor Abekah exposes the cunning tactics of the enemy and illuminates the vital role of truth in countering the relentless assaults of darkness. He reminds us that our battle is not against flesh and blood but against spiritual forces of evil and emphasizes the crucial importance of fortifying our minds with the unwavering truth of God's Word.
With clarity and conviction, Pastor Abekah presents a fourfold path to victory: knowing the truth, continually reminding ourselves of it, standing firm upon it, and withstanding in the evil day with it. Through these principles, he demonstrates how the Belt of Truth serves as a safeguard for our spiritual vitality and empowers us to resist the devil's schemes.
As you embark on this journey through the pages of this book, may you be inspired to embrace and live in the truth, finding strength and assurance in the unchanging promises of God. May your life be a testament to the transformative power of truth to overcome every obstacle and emerge victorious in spiritual warfare.
In a world where falsehoods abound and deceptions proliferate, may the timeless wisdom contained within these pages equip you to stand firm in the truth and experience the fullness of God's victory in your life.
—Peter Collins Obeng
PREFACE
The book of Ephesians is part of the collection of the 14 Pauline epistles of the New Testament of the Bible. Its general themes include the Church as the Body of Christ
and God’s plan for unity in Christ. The focus is on highlighting the spiritual benefits of believers, our identity in Christ, and the Church’s purpose as a unified entity. Ephesians focuses on the divine work of reconciliation, the role of grace, and the believer’s responsibility to live in the light of our calling.
In Ephesians Chapter 6 specifically, the theme shifts to the concept of spiritual warfare and the believer’s need to stand firm against the schemes of the devil. This chapter emphases the need for believers to put on the whole armour of God to withstand the spiritual challenges and attacks we face. It highlights the importance of spiritual preparedness, prayer, and perseverance during spiritual battles.
As Christians, we are engaged in a spiritual battle, and any believer or group of believers who underestimate this fact will end up victims of the eternal spiritual battle. These and other scriptures make it abundantly clear and, even more importantly, emphasizes the need to stand firm in faith against the forces of evil.
For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.
Ephesians 6:12 (NIV)
For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does. The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds.
2 Corinthians 10:3-4 (NIV)
Fight the good fight of the faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called when you made your good confession in the presence of many witnesses.
1 Timothy 6:12 (NIV)
All three scriptures highlight the fact of an ongoing battle.
However, in the writings of Paul, references to wrestles, battles, and warfare are often used metaphorically to illustrate the spiritual struggles and challenges that believers face in their Christian journey. Paul’s references to battles draw upon the cultural and historical context of the Roman Empire and the military campaigns of the time. Paul alludes to some key aspects of the battles and warfare in his writings:
Roman Military Context: In Paul’s time, the Roman Empire was at its zenith, and the Roman military was known for its discipline, organisation, and conquests. Paul and his audience would have been familiar with Roman legions, armour, and warfare strategies. In using the principle of from the known to the unknown, he uses what they already know to explain a spiritual situation.
Armour and Weapons: Paul’s descriptions of the armour of God
in Ephesians 6:10-17, including the helmet, breastplate, shield, and sword, draw on the imagery of Roman soldiers. He likens these pieces of armour to spiritual qualities that believers need to equip themselves with to withstand spiritual attacks.
Spiritual Battle: Paul often speaks of the spiritual battle between the forces of good and evil, light and darkness. He uses battle terminology to emphasise the challenges believers face in resisting temptation, sin, and the schemes of the devil.
Struggle Against Sin: In passages like Romans 7:15-25, Paul describes the inner conflict that believers experience in their struggle
