The song Armour of God is a song that connects to the lives of boys, girls, men and women. The song start with a chant and most songs that starts with chants are mostly to put the listeners in the mood of prayer and connect to God.
The song starts off with these lines.
“A soldier without bulletproof, is a dead man that is standing oo
So that fine boy without Jesus Christ, is already a dead man that is still dripping oo
That fine girl without Jesus Christ is already a dead man that is still slaying oo
That Pastor without Jesus Christ is already a dead man that is still preaching oo
That minister without Jesus Christ is already a dead man that is still singing oo”
The song is passing across different messages for each and everyone of the people mentioned in the song (soldier, boys, girls, pastor, and minister). The song signifies the lives everyone who had not accepted Jesus Christ into their lives, and they are just living like a dead man. Like some people say ‘A life without Christ is full of crisis. The lyrics of the song lines up well with the part of the scriptures that talks about people who are not born again and people that pretend they have Christ in them. The song to some people is just a song that they just want to listen to and pass time while to some people interpret the song to be the one that is sung for people to change their ways and seek the face of God at any point of their life.

A part of the song also says ‘Fine boy you are dripping now, you are dripping now does Abba know your voice….. minister you are singing songs, your are releasing albums does Abba know your voice’. The song keeps encouraging listeners to put God in everything they do. The part where the song says ‘I put on the whole armour of God’ can be interpreted as putting on the breast plate of righteousness (Ephesians 6:13-17).
The song is the type of song that glorifies God in every line of the lyrics and emulates the qualities that God wants in the life of Christians who have truly given their life to Jesus. My thought about this song is that the song is a song that is meant for the current generation we have now as everything and everyone does not want to care about things of God. But that care about dripping, slaying, etc. the song will help youth, children and adults in their way of growing with Christ.
