THE LIAR

-

John 8:44

"You are of your father the devil, and the desires of your father you want to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own resources, for he is a liar and the father of it.

Jesus was talking to the Jews who worshipped God for personal gain, those of them who were hypocrites.

Funny enough the devil or satan roams through the earth.

He comes on, and again, sending his little demons to whisper rubbish to our ears.

His tactics still remains the same just the way he toiled with Eve in the Garden of Eden.

If only we could see those ugly things wisphering those lies in our ears.

How do we overcome

Revelations 12:11
 "And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death.

Not by shouting the blood but standing on what the blood has done. The word of our testimony Jesus the Christ. We are not afraid of death we know who gives us life. God!

What was the lie . . .

Genesis 3:4-5
And the serpent said to the woman, "You will not surely die.
 "For God knows that in the day you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil."

A liar! knows how to twist words.

The bible says:

Titus 1:2
in hope of eternal life which God, who cannot lie, promised before time began,

The devil wanted them to see the physical not the spiritual.

He still does same today!

Fixing our mind just on the physical, the aim is to kill our faith.

If you give in, you end up not believing God's promises anymore but now distracted by the enemy's lies.

Matthew 13:19
"When anyone hears the word of the kingdom, and does not understand it, then the wicked one comes and snatches away what was sown in his heart. This is he who received seed by the wayside.

This liar comes with his lies time and again to take our mind from what God has said to other logics and believes.

But we must not give in.

2Corinthians 1:20
For all the promises of God in Him are Yes, and in Him Amen, to the glory of God through us.

So whose report will you belief?

The enemy will say


* we are sick?

 but we reply that by the stripes of Jesus we were healed

* we are poor

but we reply that we are blessed with all spiritual blessings

* we are sinners

but we reply that the blood of Jesus cleanses us from all unrighteousness

* we can't make it

but we reply that we can do all things through Christ who gives us strength

* we would pay for past sins

but we reply that there is none

for we who are in Christ Jesus

* we will miss heaven

but we reply that we are already sitted with Christ in heaven

* we have nothing to offer

we reply that we are a chosen people, a royal nation called out of darkness into marvelous light to show forth the praises of God.
We are God's workmanship unto good works.

* we will sin

but we reply that sin has no dominion over our mortal body because of Grace

* we are not worthy

but we reply that God has given us the power to become His sons

* we should revenge, hate or payback

but we reply that we have the mind and Spirit of Christ

* that evil will happen to us

but we reply that no weapon fashioned against us shall prosper, that we dwell under the secret place of the Most High

No matter the lie the enemy brings we must counter with the word of God.

That is what Jesus did!

Not only when He was tempted in the wilderness by this same enemy.

He did so throughout His time on earth.

Remember He knew when the enemy was speaking through Peter

Matthew 16:23
But He turned and said to Peter, "Get behind Me, Satan! You are an offense to Me, for you are not mindful of the things of God, but the things of men."

So even people around us even in church could become the enemy's  spokesperson.

I see us going through it all, not falling prey of the enemy's lies in love, trusting God, hearing God, staying with His Word.

We shall not fail, fall or falter.

We will not give in to the enemy's lies, we are free from depression, pain, sorrow, regret, doubt, confusion and sin.

We have peace, joy, justification, and righteousness.

Glory to God in the highest.

He calls us blessed.

Love

DO YOU STILL SEE?

Habakkuk 2:3 For the vision is yet for an appointed time; but at the end it will speak, and it will not lie. Though it tarries, wait for it; Because it will surely come, it will not tarry. It may have been easy when we first believed, to visualize the promises. We reach out with zeal, loving God, seeking to do exploits. That was when we first believed, just as Jesus said: John 3:3 Jesus answered and said to him, "Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God." When we become born again we see God's kingdom, our spirit man is reborn and we count the flesh as nothing. Then time passes by, we are in the world, all its distractions, temptations, responsibilities, challenges and so on begin to reveal themselves. The question then is: * Can we still see heaven? John 3:3 * Are we still zealous? John 2:17 * Are we continuing in those things? Acts 2:42 * Are we walking in love? 1John 4:7 or Has the cares and worries of life and service ta

DO UNTO OTHERS . . .

-
Matthew 7:12 "Therefore, whatever you want men to do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets. It is hypocritical of us to expect people to stand with us when we are experiencing challenges yet when we see others face their own challenges, we begin to imagine what they must have done wrong or maybe they annoyed God or did one evil or the other instead of reaching out to help as we would desire others to do for us. The same thing goes for prosperity, when the Lord opens a door for us and we have abundance of wealth or a breakthrough we expect others to rejoice with us, more so, some would even find it hard to give to others. What is our reaction when someone else gets this breakthrough, do we get suddenly suspicious without reason. Do we expect the person to reach out to us? It is better to stay on the side of encouragement than to sit as a judge or prosecutor. Jesus said, Matthew 7:2 "For with what judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with the same

MY YEAR OF FULFILMENT

-
Psalms 57:2 I cry out to God Most High, to God who will fulfill his purpose for me. We just finished the book of 1Samuel, in this book we see the cry of Israel for a king and how God raised Saul to rule them. We also saw how Saul disobeyed God and lost kingship for himself and his generation. He did not stop there, he went on to seek for the death of David, whom he saw as the next heir of the throne. In chapter 31, the last chapter, we see how Saul and all his sons and men were killed, it was tragic, however it was as a sign of relief for David. We could go on counting all the struggles and difficulties we faced in the past year. No, we should not, we should begin to look at all the positives, remembering all the good things God has done for us. If He promised it, He will do it and that is what we hold onto as we go through this year. Hebrews 10:23 Let us hold tightly without wavering to the hope we affirm, for God can be trusted to keep his promise. This is the year of fulfilment, and
