God wants us to defeat our foes

God wants you to defeat  your foe“I have given you authority to tread on serpents and scorpions, and   over all the power of the enemy” (Luke 10:19).

Satan was “the anointed cherub . . . You were on the holy mountain of   God; you walked in the midst of the stones of fire. You were blameless in   your ways from the day you were created” (Ezekiel 28:14-15). However, here is   the clue to Satan’s fall, “Your heart was lifted up because of your beauty;   you corrupted your wisdom by reason of your splendour” (vv. 17-19).

The Enemy knows his fate, but he is counting on the fact   that we do not. When he was cast out of heaven, he misled a third of heaven’s   angelic force. The chaos these fallen creatures create at times is still   under the watchful eye of God. Nothing that happens on the face of the earth   goes unnoticed by Him. God is never out of control or overpowered. Once Satan   was a beautiful creature—one that had access to God’s throne room. Today he   is a castaway and can only appear before the Lord when he is summoned.

Why does God allow evil to exist? Why does He allow the Enemy to touch   our lives with sickness and suffering? None of us have the perfect answer.   However, we know without a doubt that God is at work, and He has not   forgotten His creation. He uses every trial we face to draw us closer to   Himself. Also, do not become discouraged if you are facing difficulty.   Instead, cling to the One who has the ability to save you from all evil.   Satan’s trickery may have enticed many of God’s forces to believe that they   would be better off without Him. However, the same does not have to be true   for you.

Adam and Eve fell for the Enemy’s lies, but you can say no to each   one. Peter calls us to be on guard and ever alert to the Enemy’s assaults and   attacks (1 Peter 5:8). Ask the Lord to give you His discernment so that you   will know when you are about to step over the threshold of His safety and   blessing and enter the darkness of Satan’s domain.

May God Almighty prosper Nigeria and Israel and   defend us from all our enemies in Jesus Christ Name, Amen!

ADAM AND EVE

Why did Adam and Eve disobey God?

Adam and Eve were sinless and perfect when God created them.
But they still could choose to do what was wrong (just like you and I can
choose to do what we aren’t supposed to do).

When the devil tempted them to eat the forbidden fruit, they
chose to do it. Although people talk about Adam and Eve eating an “apple” in
the Garden of Eden, we don’t know what the fruit looked like or how it tasted.
All we know is that it was the one fruit in that big, beautiful Garden that
they weren’t supposed to eat.

Adam and Eve ate the fruit because the devil started them
thinking about what it might be like. Then he lied about God’s rule to make
them think that God was keeping something good from them. Pretty soon they
wanted to eat the fruit more than they wanted to obey God’s rule.

Choosing to obey God is always
better than choosing to disobey Him!

May Our God The Almighty prosper Nigeria
and Israel and defend us from all our enemies in Jesus Christ Name, Amen!

Satan Father Of Lies

SATAN FATHER OF LIES

When [the devil]
speaks a lie, he speaks from his own resources, for he is a liar and the father
of it (John 8:44)

Satan’s sway over mankind began when he turned the minds of
Adam and Eve against God. In order to pull it off, he had to lie to them about
God – and they had to fall for it. In that defining moment, he lied to them
about God’s goodness, God’s Word, and God’s intentions (Gen.3:1-6).

Satan is still up to his old tricks. Jesus said that when
the devil “speak a lie, he speaks from his own resources, for he is a liar”.
(John 8:44). It should not be surprising, then that when trouble interrupts our
lives, the father of lies whispers in our ears and suddenly we are questioning
God’s goodness. When we are told to follow His commands, we wonder if His Word is really true in the first place.
When Jesus tells us things like, “Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on
earth” (Matt.6:19), satan tells us that the good life is about piling up things
here, causing us to doubt God’s good intentions.

Our problem is that we, like Adam and Eve, believe satan’s
lies. And when we do, our loyalty to God is compromised. Then our enemy slithers
off to his next assignment, leaving us alone to face our regrets and the
realization that his lies have seduced us away from our truest and dearest
Friend. Who have you been listening to lately? – Joe Stowell

Satan can catch you by surprise

And stop you in your tracks,

So keep on guard and trust God’s Word,

Resist his strong attacks.-Branon

The power of satan is no match for
the power of God’s Word.
