CLOSING THE DOOR AGAINST EVIL
Memorise: Behold, I give unto
you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the
enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you. Luke 10:19
Read: Isaiah 49:25-26, Bible

The world is full of evil.
Just listen to the news today and you will hear all manner of stories of
horrors such as armed-robbery, looting, kidnapping, betrayal, persecution, terrorism,
ritual killing, cannibalism and a host of others. There is hardly a nation on
earth where heinous crimes are not committed on a daily basis. Evil is
manifested in different shades and colours. Some are violent, crude and
horrific while others are subtle, mild and deceptive. They may be emotional or
psychological; physical or spiritual. Evil is perpetrated at domestic,
community, local and international levels. The situation is perplexing. Peace
is a scarce commodity nowadays. Many people live in fear, torment, horror and
anxiety. However, for a heaven-bound Christian, rejoice because there is light
at the end of the tunnel, Colossians 2:15 says:
“And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made
a shew of them openly, triumphing over them min it.”
Our Lord and saviour Jesus
Christ paid the supreme price for our peace. His death, resurrection and
ascension to heaven were all geared towards our peace. Through His death and
resurrection, He obtained permanent victory over the devil and his cohorts. The
author of all evil is the devil. He is assisted by principalities and powers.
Since Christ has destroyed the devil (Hebrews 2:14), and has triumphed over
principalities and powers, the easiest way for a person to close the door
against evil is by surrendering his or her life to Jesus. Be born-again. Jesus
is more than enough to take care of your fears and anxieties. You can also
close the door against evil when you abstain from all appearances of evil. Evil
has the tendency to boomerang. Those who do evil, end up attracting evil to
themselves. To close the door against evil therefore, do good to others. Be
good and kind to members of your family, relatives, friends and acquaintances.
Be kind, even to those who persecute you and perpetrate evil against you. There
is a user of this devotional, who has been betrayed severally by friends and
loved ones. You can close the door to all the evil in your life by forgiving
all your offenders and being nice to them. Many people are living under a
curse. The good news is that the anointing destroys curses. You can also close
the door against evil through aggressive prayers. Pray aggressively against
witchcraft and destiny destroyers.
Action Point
Close the door against all
evil by putting on the whole armour of God and confronting evil headlong. Being
today.
