Topic: RESIST THE DEVIL.
Bible Reading: James 4:6-8, 2 Corinthians 10:3-6.
Many times things happened on the negative which we don't like, and men put the blame of it on God, because of lack of understanding of God on the part of men. So, we need to understand that Satan is always out to do the opposite of what God is doing. Where God is saving Satan is destroying, where God is giving Satan is robbing and stealing, where God is blessing Satan is cursing, the list is endless.
Christ has defeated Satan and his cohort on the cross, and he has given us victory, now for us to enjoy the victory that we have in Christ, we must understand how well to handle Satan. And God gave believers the secret of dealing with the Devil, to successfully handle him is very simple and easy, all it takes is your submission to God. To submit to God, you do it in total obedience to Him by submitting to his word in totality.The scripture we read said, submit yourselves unto God, only then you can resist the Devil and he shall flee from you.
You can't be disobeying God's word and still want to use the same word of God to attack the Devil. Disobeying the instructions of God is like telling Him to leave you alone, that you can run your life yourself and this is pride, which happened to be the sin of the Devil when he was sent away from heaven. That was why verse 6 says God himself resist the proud.
There is a way you can be proud to God, and there is a way you can proud to men, the spirit and attitude of pride is what God hates a lot. And I have never known a man who is proud, and obedience at the same time, a proud man is always disobedience and never ready to take instructions.
But when you submit to God, you will obey him and his words willingly, and when you walk in obedience to God's word no Devil or demons can resist your command to them. 1 Cor 10:6 says that God will turn to reprimand, punished, rebuke and attacked anyone, Devil or demons who try to go against your order, when your own obedience to God is complete. Once your life is in line with God's divine instructions, no forces of darkness can stop you. As you go today, may you know how to walk in line with God's word in your life in Jesus name.
Prayer Point: Pray that God will give you spirit of humility and obedience to God.
