TOPIC: WHY MANY YOUTHS ARE INFESTED WITH EVIL SPIRITS

TEXT: GENESIS 3: 1-13 

MONDAY MARCH 20th 

Key verse: “But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.” 2 Corinthians 11: 3

Evil spirits are angelic entities who oppose God’s sovereign control. They seek to work out their unholy rebellion by influencing people to live in a way contrary to God’s expressed intentions. At the same time, they remain under God’s sovereignty and can be used by Him to carry out divine plans. As youths, you are to submit yourselves to God and resist the attacks of Satan and his hosts, and draw near to God (James 4:7). To do so, we must be aware of the basic truths presented in the scripture, that is their methods as they attempt to influence people’s lives. Once more as a youth you are to take your stand in Christ and oppose the infestation of evil spirits.

Here are some of their activities as their name implies: 

(1). They seek to influence people or Christians through false doctrines or teachings (1 Timothy 4:1; 1 John 4:1-4) as well as false miracles and wonders (2 Thessalonians 2:7-11; Revelation. 16:14). 

(2). Evil spirits rubbed a young boy of his speech (Mark 9:17; 9:25), rendered a man mute (Matthew. 9:33), and also affected the back of an elderly woman. 

(3). They rendered someone unclean as their name implies (Mark 1:23; 5:2) 

(4). They pretend to be friendly to deceive people (2 Corinthians 11:14-15). 

(5). They blind the minds of people. They lead people astray from the truth 

(7). They lead people astray through the pursuit of pleasure or sensual gratification.

Thought for the day: Remember now thy Creator in the days of thy youth.

Song for the day: It’s only You Jesus, it’s only You

Bible reading for the day: Joshua 1-3; Luke 1:57-80
