ANGELS LOVE MUSIC TOO
Memorise: But thou art holy,
O thou that inhabitest the praises of Israel. Psalm 22:3
Read: Acts 16:25-34, Bible in
one year: 2 Samuel 18:1-19:15, proverbs 13:1-14
The charge “Occupy till I
come” was an express command given by the Lord Jesus Christ to His disciples
(Luke 19:13). Yesterday, we learnt that to occupy means to take charge of
already conquered territories. As a child of God, it your responsibility to
exercise authority over your enemy – the devil. Though he was made perfect in
beauty and wisdom, his beauty and wisdom have been tarnished and corrupted by
sin (Ezekiel 28:17). The devil is now full of destructive wisdom, but his
wisdom cannot stand even the foolishness of God; how much more the wisdom of
God at work in believers (1 Revelation 1:24). The devil, your accuser, is
cunning (Revelation 12:10), but you can live a triumphant life over him by the
Blood of the Lamb, prayer, the word of your testimony ( your confessions and
proclamations) and by singing praises to the Lord. Revelations 12:11 says:
“And they overcome him by the blood of the Lamb, and
by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.”
Many Christians lose out in
the battle of life because they do not know who they are and the nature of the
flight they are involved in. you are not fighting against flesh and blood. You
are at war with an enemy who has thousands of years of experience with human
beings, right from the Garden of Eden, where he attacked Eve. Satan knows his
strategy well. He is a dangerous enemy who doesn’t get distracted. It is
therefore imperative that you fight against this enemy with the word of God in
prayer. Prayers are very powerful. A prayerful Christian is a powerful
Christian. The greatest demoraliser Satan uses is fear. God has not given us
the spirit of fear; therefore, we are not to be afraid of the devil (2 Timothy
1:7)! The exact opposite of fear is faith. It is a known fact that Satan loves
music. He loves dangerous, perverse and distorted music. The day God made
Lucifer who later became the devil, he built musical instruments into his body
(Ezekiel 28:13). He was the choir master of heaven. Now, Satan takes more souls
to hell through music than through any other means. Angels love music too. The
more you sing praises to God, the more you irritate Satan because you remind
him of his glorious past and his lost opportunity. Satan is irritated because
he knows that whenever you praise God you are making God happy. God loves music
too. The devil also knows that whenever you are praising n God, the Almighty
will draw nigh to you (Psalm 22:3). Christ was able to overcome the devil
through compassion, love and humility. These are indispensable weapons you
need.
Action Point
Irritate the devil today by
singing beautiful songs of worship of the Lord.
