For taking your time to study remain blessed. PERSIST IN FAITH AND PRAYER SATURDAY JANUARY 21 TEXT: MARK 11:23-25 Key verse: “Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of His dear Son” Colossians 1:13. The believer is to look to Jesus and set His victory before him, believe always that he has been made free in Christ, confess his liberty, walk by faith, keep himself in obedience to the word of God and walk in righteousness and holiness. Jesus is to be upheld by the church. His victory over Satan should constantly be celebrated by the church. His praise and worship as Lord of lords and King of kings should fill our prayer, exhortation and sermons. Alas, it is not so in many churches today. Instead of Christ-consciousness there is Satan-consciousness in many Christian circles and in the ministry of many preachers. Believers are made to fear and respect Satan above God. To such it looks as if 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 lucks, lack of prosperity, delay in marriage, barrenness etc. Ephesians 1:21-22 Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come: And hath put all things under His feet, and gave Him to be the head over all things to the church. Faith in Christ and His righteousness terminates all kinds of curse in the believer's life. Know this truth and be free! Our attention is not on the signs, wonders, spiritual gifts, or miracles that accompany a doctrine; for Satan can back up his doctrine with these too. Our attention is rather on the scriptural authority of the doctrine. We exalt the salvation of the souls of men from sin and their eternal life above healing, deliverance and prosperity in this present life. These belong to us, but we must be sure they come from God and not from men or any devilish way. This truth does not absolve a believer from spiritual warfare. Thought for the day: Do not fear and respect Satan and his cohorts above God. Song for the day: Who can battle with the Lord (3x), I say no body… I say no devil… I say no body… Bible reading for the day: Genesis 49-50; Matthew 15:1-20 #horemow.
