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

Signs And Wonders Should Be According To Biblical Pattern

God's blessings shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. Signs And Wonders Should Be According To Biblical Pattern Text: Mark 16: 17 – 20 Wednesday May 8th Key verse: Obadiah 17 “Upon mount Zion shall be deliverance, and there shall be holiness and the house of Jacob shall possess their possessions.” God has prepared to direct us on holy service unto Himself. He tells us when the lives and services of people are corrupt because from the heart of men proceed the works they do. When people are righteous and holy, their service is also righteous and holy. Hence, the word says, make the people holy then their service will be holy, so if you accept to live a life of holiness, then the fruit of your service will be holy. So, it is very important to accept the life of holiness because the God that made you is holy; He will give you grace to be holy. You just make up your mind to be holy. Do not accept that no man can be holy; then Jesus came for nothing, Jes...

  REMAIN BLESSED AS YOU TAKE YOUR TIME TO STUDY THE WORD OF GOD AMEN. PRAY CONSTANTLY                                                                      FRIDAY 11 MARCH TEXT: Luke 18: 1-7 Key verse: 1 Thessalonians 5:17; Pray without ceasing. I wish My children, whilst upon earth, to live more and more with Me in “the heavenly places”. Here, there is no fear or hurry or fret of spirit.
