That’s why as a church, we recommend believers to study
       the Word of God every day. And that’s why we suggest getting
       at least 2 services a week. That’s also why we encourage
       a  Bible  college  education,  so  that  we  can  receive  fresh
       revelation of the Word of God. It is a covering, protection
       and blessing for your soul.
         5. The Spiritual Covering Of Redemption - The
                     Robe Of Righteousness

       When  Adam  and  Eve  sinned  in  the  Garden  of  Eden,  God
       covered and clothed them with coats of Lamb’s skin. There
       is  no  record  of  Adam  and  Eve  doing  a  thing  about  the
       covering.  God took their false fig leaves coverings off and
       covered them with the skins of the Lamb. This is a symbolic
       picture of how when a sinner believes in Christ, his sins are
       not only forgiven and washed away, (Titus 3:5) but the Lord
       covers him with His “robe of righteousness” in Isaiah 61:10
       – “I will greatly rejoice in the Lord, for He has clothed me
       with the garments of salvation, He has covered me with the
       robe of righteousness...”

       As  part  of  our  spiritual  armor  we  are  to  have  on  “the
       breastplate of righteousness.” Whenever the devil comes to
       accuse us, we are to remind him that we are forever clothed
       in Christ’s righteousness.

        6. The Spiritual Covering Of A Pastor  (Shepherd)
       A very important covering for the household of God is the
       spiritual covering of the Pastor – teacher. Right through the
       Bible, we see the importance of an overseeing shepherd. In
       the congregation of Israel, it was Moses (helped by elders).
