Be sober and alert the devil is roaming like a roaring lion, Resist him

Be sober [well balanced and self-disciplined], be alert and cautious at all times. That enemy of yours, the devil, prowls around like a roaring lion [fiercely hungry], seeking someone to devour. But resist him, be firm in your faith [against his attack—rooted, established, immovable], knowing that the same experiences of suffering are being experienced by your brothers and sisters throughout the world. [You do not suffer alone.]
1 Peter 5:8‭-‬9 AMP

Praise and glory be to God for this beautiful day and the opportunity to rejoice and be glad in it.

In today’s scripture the Apostle Peter is giving us a word to stay strong and overcome the attack of the enemy. He cautions the believer to be spiritually alert. That is properly armed in the Spirit for battle, employing all the spiritual warfare tools, garments and ammunition as stated in Ephesians 6. Clothed in the power of God we resist the devil and its agents.

The Apostle reiterated that we need to be sober and put on our faith mantle so that we can resist the devil who is roaming like a roaring lion seeking to devour God’s children.

In the name of Jesus Christ we take our position in Christ and overcome any attacks of the enemy. We resist the works of the devil and claim victory in Jesus Mighty name. Amen.

Submit to God, Resist the devil and he will flee

So submit to [the authority of] God. Resist the devil [stand firm against him] and he will flee from you.
JAMES 4:7 AMP

Praise, Glory and Thanks be to God for this beautiful day and the opportunity to rejoice and be glad in it.

God has empowered us to be His ambassadors here on earth, His authority and power is given to us once we recognise and acknowledge His Lordship. Our submission to Him and His authority gives us the power over the works of the enemy.

The scripture says that we should resist the devil, this is only possible when we have fully surrendered to the Lord Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit is at work within us. Make that firm decision and keep the devil out of your life.

Jesus Christ has already won the victory for us and what is required is to surrender our lives to totally to Him.

May we overcome and conquer every challenge the enemy may bring our way. Stand firm and resist the devil in Jesus Mighty name. May the power of the Holy Spirit work within us as overcomers and conquerors in Jesus Mighty name. Amen.
