THE ENEMY HAS NOTHING IN ME

-

John 14:30

"I will no longer talk much with you, for the ruler of this world is coming, and he has nothing in Me.


The agenda of the enemy, "satan" or the "devil", is to take our hearts away from God. He wants us to focus on him, or that which is his.


The battle had always been for the soul(mind, heart, intellect, emotion) of man, even from the garden of eden when he caused man to die spiritually thereby being separated from God.

Man now has to battle with what he once had dominion over. What a loss!


Knowing this, we who have been saved must not fall into the same error, we must not give in to his gimmicks.


1Peter 5:8

Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.


We must not give our heart or soul to him.


Proverbs 4:23

Keep your heart with all diligence, for out of it spring the issues of life.


If life is lost or contaminated then death is the outcome.


Ephesians 2:2

in which you once walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit who now works in the sons of disobedience,


We were there in times past but we are now free in Christ Jesus. If any man is in Christ he has been set free from the bondage of satan.


We are no longer condemned, we don't answer nor account to satan but to God our Father. Therefore it should be all about God, there is no room for the enemy.


Acts 26:18

'to open their eyes and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins and an inheritance among those who are sanctified by faith in Me.'


Colossians 2:15

Having disarmed principalities and powers, He made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them in it.


So therefore if you are born of God you are not to be worried over the devil but to think always on how to please God continually.


Yes we cannot ignore all the devices of the enemy, but when he comes we remember that he is already defeated.


2Corinthians 2:11

lest Satan should take advantage of us; for we are not ignorant of his devices.


So instead of focusing on satan or all he wants to distract us with, we focus on Him who has set us free from his power, influence and condemnation.


* we pray,

* we study the word,

* we worship,

* we fast.


Knowing that though our spirit man has been redeemed, the flesh is liable to the influence of the enemy.


Galatians 5:16

I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh


So that we can say like Jesus


" HE HAS NOTHING IN ME"


Glory to God.


PRAYER

Loving Father I give You all of me, there is no room for any other. Glorify Yourself in me Lord, make me clean, holy and acceptable to You. Help me Good Lord. Glory to Your name Lord forevermore.


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
