NOT A VICTIM
Memorise: Be sober, be vigilant; because your
adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may
devour: 1 Peter 5:8
Read: 1 Peter 5:8-10; Bible in one year: Judges
8:29-9:57; Job 41:5-17
One lesson every believer must learn is that the devil
can never repent. Hence we are not to joke with the devil. If you don’t want to
devoured by the devil, you must resist him and all that he represents
steadfastly. As soon as the devil knew the David had been anointed as king, he
decided to eliminated him. The devil knows that God wants to do wondrous things
in your life. He knows that your tomorrow will be alright, and he is unhappy
about all these great promises for your life.
“He will not suffer thy foot
to be moved: he that keepth thee will not slumber. Behold, he that keepth Israel
shall neither slumber nor sleep.”
Psalm 121:3-4
Do not underestimate the devil. He is no doubt a liar,
and he is very stubborn. However, the good news is that we have a God who can
deal with him effectively. If God is on your side, and you are on His side,
there is nothing the enemy can do. Every effort the devil makes to put you to
shame will always turn out for you good as long as He is no your side. The
devil cannot mess around with you and get away with it except the hedge has
been broken. This is why every child of God must protect his or her
relationship with God. The devil will always want you a victim, but God will
always ensure you remain a victor because you are operating on a higher
covenant.
Sometimes ago, a lady received the shock of her life
in London. A
man proposed to marry her, and all necessary arrangements were made for their
wedding. However, on the day of the wedding, gaily dressed, the lady went to
the registry to wait for her fiancé who never showed up. What shame, shock and
sorrow she got! She passed through deep emotional distress because of the
disgrace she faced. After a while, this lady got through the period of pain and
later married a man who became a military governor of a state in Nigeria. The
man who dumped her became an aide-de-camp (ADC) to her husband. So, anytime she
wanted to travel, the man who jilted her, was always at her back to open the
door for her to come in and go out. If God can do this in the life of someone,
you can be sure He is no respecter of persons. Everyone the devil has caused to
suffer one form of disappointment or the other will receive divine visitation
in Jesus’ Name. Whatever injury, crises or turbulence you might have gone
through, the arm of the Almighty God will be revealed in your life to cause a
change in your situation and turn it to a great testimony.
Prayer Point
Father, by your power, let everything working against
me begin to work for my good.
