DAILY BREAD(Resist The devil)
ππππRESIST THE DEVILππππ
James 4:7 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
One of the quality of been a child of God is the ability to resist the devil. And you can resist the devil by submitting yourself to God. The devil have made people to be in problems today in the world because they lack ability to resist him. Many have work against their self in doing what they are not suppose to do because they could not resist the devil.
Resisting the devil is in power. And it is God that gives that power through Jesus Christ(John1:12). You can resist the devil if you are spiritually sensitive to know when he is operating. The word of God did not keep us in darkness about the work of the devil(Matthew7:15-20, 1John4:3). According to first John chapter four verse four. It says "Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world". We resist the devil because we have overcome him . Greater one dwells in us than the devil in the world. We have power to resist Him. For instance a soldier man that is having a gun can resist a armless civilian from entering some restricted places because he have a gun to resist him. We can resist the devil because we have power to do so.
It is an error as a believer to permit satanic operation in your life were you have power to resist him. The devil can manipulate people to speak what they are not supposed to speak, act in a way they are not supposed to act or even go to were there are not supposed to go. I speak from experience. Many times I come across people speaking what they are not supposed to speak and I perceive it is the manipulation of the devil. Some times if I have the opportunity I preach the word of God to them and any one that come to Jesus is free from satanic manipulation.
The devil is cony, it is important to resist Him. You can resist the devil as a believer by eating what your village forbid as an act of worship to there idol, you can resist the devil by not observing any day that is set aside by your village for idols worship. Resisting the devil is in act through the power of God.
Prayer point:
Heavenly Father, I am submitted to you. Thank you for the grace to submit to you. devil I resist you in any means you are coming against me in the mighty name of Jesus. Amen.
