Abide in the truth.

“Now the snake was the most cunning animal that the LORD God had made… The snake replied, "That's not true; you will not die. God said that because he knows that when you eat it, you will be like God and know what is good and what is bad."  Genesis 3:1, 4-5(GNB) I want you to know that it was satan who spoke through the snake to the woman in our opening scripture. We know this because satan is always rebellious against the word of God. He...

Receive salvation.

“That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.” Romans 10:9-10(KJV) Our opening scripture shows us how to get saved. To become born again, you must confess with your mouth the Lordship of Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised him from the dead, when you do, you shall be saved. Someone may read this and say, “Is that all...

God cares for you 2.

“Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time: Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.” 1 Peter 5:6-7(KJV) A lot of people are not humble because they do not believe that God cares about them. Some of them believe that God takes time so they manipulate their own way in other for them to get to where or whatever they want quicker. 1 Peter 5:8 says, “Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:” From this scripture,...

God cares about you 1.

“But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.” 2 Corinthians 11:3(KJV) It is clear to us from our opening scripture that those who are being deceived by satan have their minds corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ. So, when you are ignorant of satan's devices according to the word of God, you become susceptible to your mind being corrupted by the craftiness of satan from the simplicity that is in Christ.   The word simplicity...

Liberated by truth 2.

“And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” John 8:32(KJV) From our opening scripture, we see that the truth we know is what makes us free. That is, the truth we know establishes our liberty. You are only as free as the truth you know. That is why you must guard your heart from the deception of satan. In 2 Corinthians 11:2-3, the Bible says, “For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ. But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent...

Liberated by truth 1.

“Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices.” 2 Corinthians 2:11(KJV) In spiritual warfare ignorance is not bliss. Ignorance is deadly. It has been said that, “The strength of the oppressor is the ignorance of the oppressed.” Psalm 82:5 says, “They know not, neither will they understand; they walk on in darkness …” In other words, darkness prevails in the absence of knowledge. Therefore, ignorance is darkness. People who are ignorant of God's truth are living in darkness according to the Word of God. That...

Overcome evil with good.

“Pay back to no man evil for evil… If you can, so far as it depends on you, live at peace with all the world. Do not be revengeful, my dear friends, but give way before anger; for it is written, "'REVENGE BELONGS TO ME: I WILL PAY BACK,' says the Lord." On the contrary, therefore, IF YOUR ENEMY IS HUNGRY, GIVE HIM FOOD; IF HE IS THIRSTY, QUENCH HIS THIRST. FOR BY DOING THIS YOU WILL BE HEAPING BURNING COALS UPON HIS HEAD. Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome the evil with goodness.”  Romans 12:17-21(WNT) From our opening scripture, we...

Get your heart right with God.

“And when Simon saw that through laying on of the apostles' hands the Holy Ghost was given, he offered them money, Saying, Give me also this power, that on whomsoever I lay hands, he may receive the Holy Ghost. But Peter said unto him, Thy money perish with thee, because thou hast thought that the gift of God may be purchased with money. Thou hast neither part nor lot in this matter: for thy heart is not right in the sight of God.” Acts 8:18-21(KJV) Notice from our opening scripture today that Peter rebuked Simon that his heart was not right with...

Stop satan's work.

“For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work.” James 3:16(KJV) Some people do not know why they keep on having one problem or the other in their lives. Some will tell you, how their car had a problem last week, and their house almost got burnt last month, at another time a car hit their child. If you are having series of problems such as these in your life, I will encourage you to stay away from strife. If you will stay away from strife, I tell you based on the Word of God, that you will stop every evil work. You...

Don't give strife room in your heart.

 “Who is a wise man and endued with knowledge among you? let him shew out of a good conversation his works with meekness of wisdom. But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth. This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish.” James 3:13-15(KJV)When you have bitterness and envying in your heart, it will open your heart to the wrong kind of wisdom. There are three words used to describe the wrong kind of wisdom in our opening scripture. This wrong kind of wisdom...

Don't hinder your prayers.

“In a similar way, you husbands must live with your wives in an understanding manner, as with a most delicate vessel. Honor them as heirs with you of the gracious gift of life, so that nothing may interfere with your prayers.” 1 Peter 3:7(ISV). God wants you to treat your wife as a delicate vessel. This means that you must be very tender with her. Why does God want you to treat your wife this way? So that your prayers be not hindered. Some husbands have been praying and fasting for progress and they are not seeing it. The bible says that if...

Love unconditionally 2.

“Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice: And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.” Ephesians 4:31-32(KJV) From our opening scripture we see that God forgave us for Christ sake, not because we deserved it, He did it for Christ sake. You must learn to forgive others just as God has forgiven you. So, if God has given you forgiveness, you ought to give the same to someone else. In 1 Peter 3:7 Peter...

Love unconditionally 1.

“Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it”  Ephesians 5:25(KJV) Today, I want to show you why some husbands and their wives are not experiencing as much progress as they were experiencing before they got married. Husbands and wives are meant to live in love. In Colossians 3:18-19, the Bible says, “Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as it is fit in the Lord. Husbands, love your wives,...

Walk in love 2

“Marvel not, my brethren, if the world hate you.”    1 John 3:13(KJV). From our opening scripture, the word of God is telling you today not to be surprised if the world hates you. The world hates you because they are in darkness. 1 John 3:14 says, “We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love the brethren. He that loveth not his brother abideth in death.” The reason why death has had dominion over a lot of persons is because of hatred and bitterness in their hearts. Living with hatred and bitterness in your...

Walk in love 1

 “He that loveth his brother abideth in the light, and there is none occasion of stumbling in him. But he that hateth his brother is in darkness, and walketh in darkness, and knoweth not whither he goeth, because that darkness hath blinded his eyes.” 1 John 2:10-11(KJV).  From our opening scripture, we can see that if you as a born again child of God refuses to walk in love with your brother in Christ and you choose to live in unforgiveness and bitterness, you will abide in darkness. So, living in unforgivness can keep you under the...

Let go of bitterness.

“Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled” Hebrews 12:15(KJV). From our opening scripture, we see that the reason why many persons are not experiencing the favor of God in their lives is because of anger. If you are not experiencing the favour of God in your life right now, it is not because the witches in your village are very powerful; it might be because you have refused to forgive others. Another thing you would observe from our opening...

Give no place to the devil.

“Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath: Neither give place to the devil.” Ephesians 4:26-27(KJV)   From our opening scripture, we can see that through anger, the devil can gain influence over the life of a Christian because anger can give place to the devil in our lives. The word place in this verse is from the Greek word 'topos' meaning, license or opportunity. So, don't give the enemy license into your life by keeping anger. If you are angry with others and you remain angry for months, that anger will develop...

Stand against the wiles of the devil.

“Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.” Ephesians 6:11(KJV). From our opening scripture, the Bible makes it clear that we can all stand against all the wiles of the devil if we put on the whole armour of God. What are the wiles of the devil? The wile of the devil refers to the trickery and deceits of the devil. So, if you are going into spiritual warfare, you must go into spiritual warfare with truth. In modern warfare, there are two very important things that you must take note of; the...

Be empowered.

“Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.” Ephesians 6:10(KJV). In our opening scripture, the Word of God tells us to be strong in the Lord. The word 'strong' there is from the Greek word 'endunamoo' which means; 'to be empowered.' In other words, the Word of God is telling us to be empowered in the Lord. That means that Christ in you is your ability. The Bible tells us in Joel 3:10, “…let the weak say, I am strong.” So, even when you feel weak, declare that you are strong. This is because the Bible tells us...

Are you saved?

“For this ye know, that no whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God. Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience.” Ephesians 5:5-6(KJV) If you are not born again and you are reading this devotional right now, you need to receive Christ even now, because you are not fully protected if you are not in Christ. You are open to satan, and satan can ruin your life and diminish you. It...

You have been delivered.

“And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.” Hebrews 2:15(KJV).  From our opening scripture, we understand that when Jesus Christ died on the cross, He broke the power of satan over your life and delivered you from the fear of death and bondage. Therefore, you need to become aware of your deliverance, and know that satan has no claims over your soul because the blood of Jesus has been shed. You need to understand that the blood of Jesus has claimed your soul from satan. That is why the Bible says...

Satan has no power over you.

“Grace be to you and peace from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ, Who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from this present evil world, according to the will of God and our Father:” Galatians 1:3-4(KJV). Notice from our opening scripture, that Jesus gave Himself for our sins that He might deliver us from this present evil world. So, this lets us know that this present world is evil, but the truth is that Jesus Christ has died on the cross to deliver us from this present evil world. That means that the death of Jesus...

You are free.

“Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, …” Ephesians 6:14(KJV). Notice from our opening scripture, that one of the weapons you need to go into spiritual warfare with is 'truth'. A lot of people don't go into spiritual warfare with the right information. John 17:17 says, “Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.” So, if you are going to go into prayer, and spiritual warfare, you must know the Word of God. This is...

“When trouble comes …”

“… Lord, behold, he whom thou lovest is sick.”  John 11:3(KJV). From our opening scripture, we read the message that was sent by the sisters of Lazarus to Jesus. At this time, the family of Lazarus was experiencing their own evil day, so they called out to Jesus for help. Another thing I want you to notice is the fact that they said, “… he whom thou lovest is sick.” From this, we see that even though Jesus loved Lazarus, he was still sick. So, the fact that a situation has gone wrong in your life does not mean that God does not love you....

Be God conscious.

“Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.” Isaiah 41:10(KJV). Always remember that you are never without supernatural assistance, for God has said, “I am with you.” Therefore, you must become God conscious when you go through challenges. From our opening scripture the Lord said, “Fear thou not; for I am with thee:” This means that, being God conscious is the cure for fear. Therefore, if you are going to...

A very present help in trouble.

“God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.” Psalm 46:1(KJV). From our opening scripture, we can see that there is a day of trouble. It comes to everybody. It comes to the rich and the poor, the strong and the weak, the educated and the illiterate. It is important for you to know what to do in the evil day when it comes. Also, some of you reading this devotional right now may be going through an evil day right now, and you...

We wrestle not against flesh and blood.

“For we are not fighting against human beings but against the wicked spiritual forces in the heavenly world, the rulers, authorities, and cosmic powers of this dark age.”  Ephesians 6:12(GNB). Human beings are not our real enemies in spiritual warfare according to our opening scripture. Though human beings may be used, influenced, dominated, possessed, obsessed and controlled by devils, but the real enemy is the devil himself. Also, it...

Go for the truth in the word of God.

“Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil… Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth …” Ephesians 6:11,14(KJV). Our opening scripture lets us know that we are dealing with a scheming devil. A devil that is trying to outwit us, therefore, we need to use the knowledge of truth in the word of God to stand against all the wiles (lies or deceit) of the devil. 2 Corinthians 11:2-3(ISV) says, “I am jealous of you with God's own jealousy, because I promised you in marriage to one husband,...

Guard your heart against deception.

“And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.”  Revelations 12:9(KJV) From our opening scripture, we see that satan gains control over the lives of people by deception. So the way to obtain victory in spiritual warfare begins with truth. Revelations 20:7-8 says, “And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison, And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the...

Be Strong in the Lord.

“Finally, my brethren, be srong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.” Ephesians 6:10(KJV) Strength comes from knowing God and His ability. Proverbs 24:5 says, “A wise man is strong, yea, a man of knowledge increaseth strength.” Then Proverbs 24:10 says,” if thou faint in the day of adversity, thy strength is small,” In other words, to increase knowledge is to increase strength. The bible tells us in Daniel 11:32. “… but the people that do know their God shall be strong, and do exploits.” In other words, knowledge strengthens you. So,...
