TOPIC: WHY MANY YOUTHS ARE INFESTED WITH EVIL SPIRITS
TEXT: GENESIS 3: 1-13
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.” 2Corinthians 11:3

Evil spirits are angelic entities who oppose God’s sovereign control. They seek to work out their unholy rebellion through influencing people to live in a way contrary to God’s expressed intentions (Genesis. 3:1-13, 2 Corinthians 11:3). At the same time, they remain under God’s sovereignty and can be used of him to effect divine plan (1 Samuel 16:14; Judges 9:23). 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 about their methods as they attempt to influence people’s lives (2 Corinthians 2:11). 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 froze the back of an elderly woman (Luke 13:11; 13:16).
(3) They rendered someone unclean as their name implies (Mark 1:23; 5:2)
(4) They pretend to be friendly spirit to deceive people (2 Corinthians 11:14-15).
(5) They blind the minds of people (2 Corinthians 4:3-4; 2 Corinthians 3:14)
(6) They lead people astray from truth (2 Timothy 3:13; 1 John 2:26; 3:7)
(7) They also lead people astray through the pursuit of pleasure or sensual gratification (Ephesians 5:6; Colossians 2:8; 2 Thessalonians 2:3)

Thought for the day: Live a clean life to fulfil God’s destiny for your life.
Song for the day: I have decided, to follow Jesus, I have decided to follow Jesus
Bible reading for the day:
Deuteronomy 20-22; Mark 14:26-50. #Horemow.

Them That Sin, Rebuke Before All

God's blessing shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. Them That Sin, Rebuke Before All   Monday 24th March Text: 1 Timothy 5: 19-22 Key verse: Them that sin rebuke before all, that others also may fear. 1 Timothy 5:20 God wants you to avoid doing evil while saying you want to go to heaven. You may be a member of a worldly church and be saying, “It is my tribal church; if I leave them, they will be angry. I do not want them to be angry.” Is it God you want to make angry by your compromise? You will see the anger of God indeed. It is through the word that you perfect the people, and as a result, the Bible says, “Thou shalt not suffer sin upon your brother. Thou shall reprove him.” Your brother or sister has done a bad thing, and you do not bother. You leave them in their sins. They may do the same to other people. The Lord says, “Correct them.” Do not allow sin to be in them because sin will take them to hell. The Bible says, “Them that sin, rebuke befo...

The Testimony Of Jesus Is Spirit Of Prophecy.

God's blessings will continually accompany you for dedicating time to your studies. The Testimony Of Jesus Is Spirit Of Prophecy.  Monday 10th November  Text: Jude 1: 2-5 Key verse: Jude 1: 3 Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints. The faith of Jesus has already been delivered and it is written in the scriptures. Whatever prophecies, revelations or dreams that comes must not be contrary to the standard in the scripture. They must speak the same thing. The testimony of Jesus is spirit of prophecy. Every prophecy or revelation must honour Jesus and must be according to the written word. Even where they are new things, they must not contradict because the Bible is a summary of the things Jesus did. The Bible cannot contain all things. It must be according to what the scripture has already signified, ...
