Satan's Schemes

JUNE 2ND – CAPSULE 2

TOPIC: SATAN'S SCHEMES

BIBLE TEXT: 2 Corinthians 2 vs 11 – To keep Satan from taking advantage of us; for we are not ignorant of his devices.

The accuser of the brethren, Satan is looking for whom he will accuse amongst God's children, going to and fro the earth in search of broken edges and cracks on the walls, so he can sneak in or crawl into lives to steal, kill and destroy. Knowing that the devil is a master of schemes, we must not let him have an edge or advantage over us.

When believers commit sin or disobey God's given Instructions and the Word of God, we give access to the devil to afflict us. Our Lord Jesus commands us to forgive and do away with anger everyday so we don’t let darkness into our hearts. Amongst the schemes of darkness, there is one found in the lives of believers today, and it is called unforgiveness. This is a cancer, a spiritual virus that paves the way for all kinds of darkness to flood in. Little besetting sins are often overlooked and they gradually develop into destructions. These are schemes, evil plots and manipulations of the devil.

When you know the kind of devices and tools the devil operates through, you’ll be at an advantage when you apply God's word to your life everyday. Jesus Christ said, the ruler of this world is coming and has nothing on me – John 14 vs 30. This facts states that no scheme or device of the devil, can operate in the life of Christ Jesus nor has power over him.


Prayer: Father, open the eyes of my spirit to walk in righteousness and to avoid the schemes of the devil in Jesus name. 

Insight: Give no room to the devil

NEITHER HEIGHT NOR DEPTH

Date - December 28th, 2021 Topic - NEITHER HEIGHT NOR DEPTH Bible Text - For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord. - Romans 8:38-39 Your parents love you. You may be able to do something that makes them angry, but you will never be able to do anything that makes them stop loving you. Try to imagine this kind of love and then multiply it by infinity. That’s the love that Jesus has for you. That’s the love that God has for you. God made you. He loved you enough to create you. He loved you enough to give you free will. Then he loved you enough to give you his Son. He loved you enough to forgive you for turning away from him. This is an impossible love! This is a love that we may never understand. But we don’t have to understand it. We just have to a

God's Security

DATE 27th January, 2023 TOPIC God's Security LIVING SCRIPTURE Exodus 13:21 KJV And the Lord went before them by day in a pillar of a cloud, to lead them the way; and by night in a pillar of fire, to give them light; to go by day and night: Security has been of prime importance to man after the fall of man from glory. The need for spiritual and physical security became a priority due to the rapid increase in crime and violence caused by man's sinful nature and the devil's influence on vulnerable souls. Some people go as far as fortifying themselves with charms and native concussion while other trust in gadgets and technology and the government to protect their lives and properties. And it was not so in the beginning when God created Adam and Eve. The Lord placed man in a garden (a peaceful serene environment) there was absolutely no reason to be afraid or the thought of thieves because the Lord was their security officer. Man fell and the hearts and intents of ma

Christ is not far!

DATE 22nd June, 2023 TOPIC Christ is not far! LIVING SCRIPTURE John 14:16-17 KJV And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;  [17] Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you. Jesus Christ came to save us and that we might be one just as He and the Father in Heaven are one. He is not far from those who believe in Him and His words but still many look to the sky or climb high mountains to find the Lord who sits gloriously in our hearts by His Spirit and Words. His words says that the comforter will dwell (continually live in) you and not just that but He will also be with you. He is within and without us in covering and inspiration. Seek not Jesus that is far but He that is closer to your heart and by your confessions daily. TO-DO Call on Him this morning from your hearts and worship and fellowship in the
