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

MARY, DID YOU KNOW?

Date - December 19th, 2021 Topic - MARY, DID YOU KNOW? Bible Text - But the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary; you have found favor with God. You will conceive and give birth to a son, and you are to call him Jesus.” - Luke 1:30-31 If God had asked the women of Israel who wanted to be the mother of the Messiah, every one of them would have raised her hand. If they had known what that privilege would actually involve—becoming pregnant before marriage, enduring terrible gossip, watching helplessly as their Son was mocked, ridiculed, tortured and crucified—those hands would have come down in a hurry. Mary certainly didn’t volunteer for the job. And she was stunned to discover she’d been selected for such an important role. She handled the extraordinary situation with grace and humility. She asked one question to help her understand God’s plan, then agreed to it immediately. God has a plan for each of us. Ours may not be as earth-shattering as Mary’s. Ou...

Inside Jesus

DATE 28th June, 2023 TOPIC Inside Jesus LIVING SCRIPTURE John 15:4 KJV Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me. Inside Jesus Christ the Lamb of God is where we must dwell. Just like a baby is carried in the womb of her mother for months, so must all God's children follow. The anchor scripture reveals that we must abide inside the cleft or riven side of Jesus Christ just as He also dwells inside us. No child of God or minister should ever think that he or she is sufficient or has attained a certain height in Christ Jesus to stand alone or even abide by themselves.  Our productivity of bearing fruits in this world either by evangelism, good deeds, love or any action can only be possible when we are intimate with Christ as He is with us. Without Christ Jesus inside us we cannot or it is impossible to grow spiritually and physically. Inside Christ Jesus contains all life's resources and...

NOW

Date 📅 18th October, 2022 Topic NOW Living Scripture Hebrews 11:1,7 KJV Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. [7] By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by the which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith. Now we begin to walk in the ways of faith and truth as our fathers in faith and mighty men of old and just as they witnessed the glory of God first hand so shall we if we act now. The perfect example is Noah and the ark, a man of grace and wisdom. The world was stained with disobedience, sinful ways and thick immoralities. And God decided to wipe the inhabitants of the earth with a great flood such as have never been before and even after. The heavens where ready to open the flood gates and the earth to let out her waters. When God spoke to Noah, he acted immediately and finished the ark on time and he eva...
