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

THINKING GOD’S WAY

JULY 9TH – CAPSULE 9  TOPIC: THINKING GOD’S WAY  BIBLE TEXT: EPHESIANS 4VS23 – Be renewed in the spirit of your mind. How you process information and arrive at conclusions must always be subject to the will of God. Listen, “……….be made new in the attitude of your minds”. When you first start thinking Gods way, it will feel strange to you. It may even feel like a “put-on”. But it’s not. It works like this: you have to  (a). Practice being nice until you automatically become nice.  (b). Practice going to church on Sunday, until going anywhere else seems strange to you.  (c). Practice giving to God until it be comes as natural to you as shopping at the mall.  (d). Practice speaking the truth until even the smallest lie tastes bad in your mouth.  (e). Practice speaking kindness until every cynical, negative word is purged from your vocabulary. Its all a matter of practice! But you ask, “ isn’t that hypocritical – feeling one way and speaking an...

IT RUBS OFF

AUGUST 9th - CAPSULE 9 TOPIC: IT RUBS OFF BIBLE TEXT: Exodus 34 vs. 29 – His face glowed from being in the presence of God. You can only talk convincingly about the God you know, the one you’ve spent time with. Any other God belongs in a theology book, and you will have a hard time selling Him. When Moses came down from the mountain, his face shone. He had been in God’s presence, and when you’ve been there it shows in the way you look, the way you walk and talk, the way you treat your family, the way you spend your money and the way you respond to hurting people. It rubs off!   Paul Cain says “most of us are as close to God as we want to be”. Think about it “Draw nigh to God, and He will draw nigh to you” (James 4 vs. 8). How could you possibly be the same when you’ve been with Him? He transforms everything He touches. Listen – He that dwelleth in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty” (Psalm 91 vs. 1). He didn’t say “visit” or...

THE FIRST WITNESSES

Date - December 22nd, 2021 Topic - THE FIRST WITNESSES   Bible Text - When they had seen him, they spread the word concerning what had been told them about this child, and all who heard it were amazed at what the shepherds said to them. - Luke 2:17-18 As anyone who has ever been part of a living nativity can tell you, the shepherds played an important role in the Christmas story. Angels announced Jesus’ birth to them. Since angels only do God’s bidding, it’s safe to say God wanted the shepherds involved. Naturally the shepherds were overwhelmed and frightened at first. But the angels calmed their fears. They headed off to Bethlehem, as the angels directed, unsure of exactly why they had been summoned by God. They had no gifts to give the baby or the young couple. They really had nothing to offer at all. Yet they went to see all that the angels had told them about. As a result, the shepherds were the only witnesses, besides Mary and Joseph, to Jesus’ first hours on ea...
