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

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...

For taking your time to study remain blessed. FACTS TO BE UNDERSTOOD ON REVELATION MESSAGES WEDNESDAY JANUARY 11 TEXT: NUMBERS 12: 4-8. Key verse: "To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them" Isaiah 8:20. God has given revelations to many in our days and He is still in the business of doing that. The choice of these messengers is His sovereign will.

They follow the pattern of scriptural revelations in the Holy Bible. Some are given in plain, simple and direct language, while some are given in pictorial language and figures of speech. The recipient of the revelation may be an ignorant person whose understanding is unfruitful, hence, he may not be capable to interpret the revelation received. Except God gives the grace of interpretation to ...
