In his message today, Pastor E.A. Adegboye talked about God being a shield for us, where he mentioned the importance of having your guard up.

Being a lover of boxing, he illustrated how boxers kept their guards up to cover their faces at all times...
One man, he said, rarely kept his guard up.
And that's because he was good with his legs; floating like a Butterfly and stinging like a Bee.

To illustrate this is to see the Muhammed Ali v Sonny Liston (I) Heavyweight title fight of 1964...

No other boxer would've kept their hands down without getting their heads ripped off from a mean fighter like Sonny Liston.
To him, his opponents must've seemed like they were moving on slow motion.
