THE DEVIL'S PLIGHT

 

The devil is always after the destruction of something well built. He is never pleased with growth and improvements. It saddens his heart to see men thrive towards purpose and fulfillment. He is the father of darkness; evil plight and vices are his agents. His bosom is in the atmosphere of disruption, damnation, disappointments, failures, sorrows, anxiety, shame and reproach. He is capable of just three qualities “to kill, steal and destroy” which make him our adversary and opposition party as far as this world is concerned, he is a devourer, and can choose any technique to carry out his acts. Due to this, the Kingdom of God is fully aimed at subduing the kingdom of darkness and taking total dominion here on earth, the scripture says in Psalms 24:1 “the earth is the Lord’s and everything in it, the world and all who live in it”, that is, even the devil is subjected to God. Therefore, we who have received the redemption through the blood of Jesus, the son of God, should never live in the fear of the devil; since he is subjected to God, definitely we’ve been given full access to subdue his operations in our lives. The scripture also says that “resist the devil and he will flee from thee”, one of the ways to resist him is walking with God and engaging His Word, the scripture says in Hebrews 4:12 “the word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double edged sword, it penetrates even to the dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow”, that is, the Word carries such power (Romans 1:16) capable of doing all this listed above and even more, if engaged appropriately. The Word of God is a shield to everyone who takes refuge in him (Proverbs 30:5). Never allow the devil tamper with your life, read and study the Word, guard your heart diligently because out of it are the issues of life (Proverbs 4:23), pray fervently in spirit, be sensitive always. An encounter is just one of the processes in the journey; there are works to be done to secure your place in the Kingdom!

Babies Get Easily Sacrificed...

  God brought my vision to something that we barely notice in the scriptures and I’d like to share; One sacrificial requirement out of the many, in the Old Testament which was never left out, is “a lamb with no defect”. Now, our focus is “the lamb” which is referred to an offspring of Sheep. Babies are fragile, so easy to handle and manipulate; with an adult, you’d need a lot of tactics in taming them but it’s not so with babies, just with a tender touch or words, you’ve automatically won them over. That’s one of the many reasons; a lamb was often required as part of the old sacrificial rituals, I mean, who wants to go through the struggle of dragging and pulling with the aggressive Ram (Male sheep). Having laid that foundation, I’d say further that, If as a born again Christian, you refuse to Grow in the knowledge of Christ but choose to remain a babe, being tossed around with words, then you’ll easily be sacrificed to the devil, not by God but by your lack of maturity, st...
