God's blessing shall be following you continually for taking the time to study.
The victory of Jesus over Satan is forever.
Tuesday 22nd July
Text: Ephesians 1:17-19
Key verse: John 8:36 If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.
This victory belongs to us who have believed on Him. The following are the effects of this victory in the life of the believer.
A: He has been delivered from the power of darkness and has been translated into the kingdom of Jesus Christ. Satan is no more his master and lord. He is not subject to the laws and authority of Satan and his evil spirits. He no more lives under the fear of Satan. A higher authority has taken over his life. He has a new Master and Lord, Jesus Christ who has defeated Satan, set him free and made him free indeed.
B: Jesus has taken away every curse on the believer, being made a curse for him. Now in Christ the believer is free from personal curse, family curse, generation curse, tribal and national curse. Satan can no more enforce any form of curse on him, because Satan himself has lost his power in his life.
C: The believer has victory over Satan, demons and satanic agents through the indwelling Holy Spirit which he received when he accepted Jesus by faith as his Lord and Savior. This Spirit fills him with inner assurance, courage and boldness.
D: Jesus gives the believer authority and power over Satan and all his forces through the use of His name. Jesus' victory over Satan is enforced through His name forever. In this way Satan is made to obey the believer as he obeys Jesus and dreads the believer who knows this truth as he dreads Jesus Himself.
E: The believer has been commissioned with the gospel to preach salvation from sin and deliverance from Satan through faith on the Lord Jesus Christ to all men. Christ's victory is appropriated in the believer through faith and prayer. He has to look to Jesus and set His victory before him, believe always that he has been made free in Christ, confess his liberty, walk by faith of it, keep himself in obedience to the word of God and walk in righteousness and holiness. Jesus is to be upheld by the church.
Thought for the day: Christ’s victory over Satan should constantly be celebrated.
Song for the day: I have seen the downfall of Satan, glory be to God
Bible reading for the day: Isaiah 29-31
