EXHORTATION through the BOOK of LIFE
Scripture to ponder :
“Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. Resist him, steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same sufferings are experienced by your brotherhood in the world.”
I Peter 5:8-9 NKJV
*WHY THE DEVIL IS TRYING TO DEVOUR YOU*
The devil prowls around you using your senses to corrupt the truth of God's word. He wants to discourage you by all means. Have you noticed that when you have prayed for a situation sometimes it seems to get worse? So what should you do? At that moment, you must insist with God's promises regarding your problem.
In the judgment that followed the fall, the Lord God said to the serpent: “So the Lord God said to the serpent: “Because you have done this, You are cursed more than all cattle, And more than every beast of the field; On your belly you shall go, And you shall eat dust All the days of your life.”Genesis 3:14 NKJV
But God also spoke of creation. He said: “And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being.”Genesis 2:7 NKJV
Satan's food is dust and every time you resist him with the word of God, you remind him of his defeat at the resurrection of Christ in whom you live. This is how you can resist him firmly and he will run away. So continue to declare: “I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.”
Galatians 2:20 NKJV And you will live the manifestation of your victory!
Jesus’ beloved !
AMEN & AMEN 🙏🏾🙏🏾!!
