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

Every Word Of God For Daily Living For taking your time to study remain blessed July Tuesday 9th TOPIC: WE ARE IN THE TWILIGHT HOUR OF RAPTURE TEXT: Ephesians 5:26-27 KEY VERSE: Hebrews 9:28 So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation. Seeing the traces of the features of the next dispensation in this present dispensation, you should know that you are in the twilight hour. What is a twilight hour? A twilight hour is that hour of the day that you begin to see the traces of the night while it is still daylight (probably 7:00pm to 7:30pm). It is not completely dark, yet it is not complete bright either. While it is still day, you are seeing the traces of the night. A twilight hour is the hour when you are still in this dispensation but you are already seeing traces of the next. The twilight hour is the time that our Lord Jesus Christ was born and even though He came with the New Test...
