BE SOBER, THE DEVIL WANTS TO DESTROY YOU
Be sober, be vigilant, because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about seeking whom he may devour. Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world. (1 Peter 5:8-9)
The world is doing all it can in obedience to the god of this world. We (believers) are not of this world. We must be stedfast, firm in our faith so the world knows in whom we believe and belong. We must put on the whole armour of God, that we may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. (Ephesians 6:11)
We must be alert and on the lookout for the enemies tactics and maneuvers. “Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.” (Ephesians 6:13) The enemy is challenging our resolve. Let us make our boast in Christ, for through Him we can stand victoriously.
Let us continue in the faith even as we go through much tribulation to enter into the kingdom of God. The adversary is real and desires to kill us for standing on the Word of God. We must stay focused, always remaining aware of our surroundings. Be sober, be vigilant to render the enemies attacks null and void.
Let’s Pray.
Father God, thank You for making us aware of the enemy who wants to destroy us. Thank You for the armour You have provided to shield and protect us. Help us to remain sober and vigilant as we go forth each day. Lead us by Your blessed Holy Spirit whom You sent to lead and to guide us. Have Your way in our lives as we humbly walk in submission to You. We pray this in the name of Jesus. Amen.
Be Blessed Because You are Blessed,
Pastor Donald and Sister Hyon Brown
