Greetings,
Hello parishioners of steemchurch peace be with you all, today is another beautiful day the Lord has made. Let me share with you some knowledge about Satan.
The thief come only to steel and kill and destroy, I have come that they may have life and have it to the full
John 10:10
Constitution in the layman's view is a set of rules use to govern a nation. In it are stated the duties, rights and responsibilities of citizens. Satan too has got a constitution. He is wicked, he has to make sure that all his agents follow suit to see the downfall of human. They are few but dangerous if overlooked.
• To steal : To steal means to illegally take something without the permission of the owner. Satan is a thief and hence passes through the illegal way to take away without permission the souls of victim from God's kingdom
• To kill : To kill refers to bringing an end to something. Here he kills the Spirit who desires to do the will of God, and brings alive the flesh who never does the will of God. Therefore the victims sees pleasure in the flesh.
• To destroy : To destroy is to spoil something. Satan does not give life but destruction. Those precious destinies of victims get defaced and devalued (spoiled)
Let us read this scriptures
1 Corinthians 1:18-25
"For the word of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us who are saved it is the power of God."
"For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, And the discernment of the discerning will I bring to nought."
"Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of the world?"
"For seeing that in the wisdom of God the world through its wisdom knew not God, it was God’s good pleasure through the foolishness of the preaching to save them that believe."
"Seeing that Jews ask for signs, and Greeks seek after wisdom:"
"but we preach Christ crucified, unto Jews a stumblingblock, and unto Gentiles foolishness;"
"but unto them that are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God."
"Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men."
Take note that, present things that are humanly precious to the heart now will after death be full of crying and gnashing of teeth. May we not offer the devil the chance to steal, kill and finally destroy us. God created you with a purpose in mind. May that come to pass. Also identify ways Satan uses just to take your identity in Christ.
Pray with me :
Father of life, thank you for the insight and knowledge about the false man (Satan). Open my eyes that I may see his ways and strength me to overcome them in the name of Jesus, Amen.
