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
