TOPIC: VICTORY OVER SATAN IS ENFORCED THROUGH JESUS NAME (2)

TEXT: 1 JOHN 5: 4-5 

TUESDAY DECEMBER 26TH

Key verse: 2 Corinthians 2:11 Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 
Instead of Christ consciousness, there is Satan consciousness in many Christian circles and the ministry of many preachers. Believers are made to fear and respect Satan above God. It is as though the victory of Jesus over Satan was not complete; or that the believer has to carry out some ceremonial rites in addition to the victory of Jesus in order to be free from Satan's power. Believers are told that a curse is still upon them: the curse of their parents, family, village, tribe, or ancestors. They are told that these curses are responsible for their bad luck, lack of prosperity, delay in marriage, barrenness, etc. It has no New Testament reference or example. Jesus did not preach it. The apostles neither preached nor practiced it. 
Satan has raised ministers to preach to him and his power so that his fear and dread should fill the church. The effect of this is that the believer is always engaged in spiritual warfare and is always Satan-conscious. His faith in Christ weakens because Satan is made to be more powerful than what is known of him in scripture. The irony is that the more a person engages himself in battle against Satan the more Satan occupies him to keep him from enjoying the peace and joy of Jesus Christ. 
Similarly, the more Jesus-conscious a person is by praise, worship, and fellowship with Him, the less Satan gains access to him to engage him in battle. The church which is demon conscious, which spends its time binding demons in the major portion of the worship service, will have little of God's presence. The church that spends a good time worshipping, praising, and exalting the Lord, will enjoy more presence of God and much victory over Satan. This truth does not absolve a believer from spiritual warfare but makes him focus more on Jesus than Satan in his spiritual walk and prayers.

Thought for the day: The more Jesus-conscious a person is by praise, worship, and fellowship with Him, the less Satan gains access to him to engage him in battle.

Song for the day: More, more, about Jesus…

Bible reading for the day: Zechariah 1-3; Revelation 17

For taking your time to study remain blessed. August Tuesday 27th TOPIC: CORRECT WATER BAPTISM TEXT: Mark 16:15-16 KEY VERSE: Matthew 28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. The believer requires water baptism. The baptism that Jesus commanded is in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. It is done by immersion in water because the three Persons are One. In Acts of the Apostles, the people were baptizing in the name of Jesus. They used the phrase “in the name of Jesus” to indicate that the baptism was carried out as authorized by Jesus, and the baptism authorized by Jesus is that which is done in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. It is not to say that they dip people in water and say, “I baptize you in the name of Jesus.” The name of Jesus cannot represent the Godhead. The Father is not Jesus, the Holy Spirit is not Jesus, Jesus is God who be
