Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee
from you. James 4:7.
When we are submissive to God, we can easily resist
the devil and he will flee from us. The
thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I came that they may have life
and have it abundantly - John 10:10. The thief always comes to steal, kill and
destroy our peace of mind. But God came
to give us an abundant life
The son of God
appeared to destroy the works of the devil- 1 John 3:8. Satan was defeated by
Christ on the cross and so our task is to live in victory. When Jesus was
tempted by Satan, He resisted Satan by the word of God. We conquer him by the
blood of the lamb and by the word of our testimony – Revelation 12:11. We can
resist devil by the word of God and by the blood of Christ.
The enemy comes in like
a roaring lion and a flood. But God has given us the power over all the power
of the enemy. So nothing by shall any means can harm us. Be sober and vigilant
because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom
he may devour – I Peter 5:8. When the enemy comes in like a flood, the spirit
of the Lord will lift up a standard against him – Isaiah 59:19. Let us draw near
to God and submit ourselves to God.
PRAYER: Dear Lord, We submit
ourselves to Your loving hand. Help us to resist the devil by Your word. In Jesus name we pray.
Amen.
