Insightful, Biblical Devotions
“Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. 9 Resist him, steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same sufferings are experienced by your brotherhood in the world” (1 Peter 5:8-9).
Satan is the one bringing sicknesses, diseases, poverty, temptations, afflictions and troubles. He is the one closing doors of opportunities against you. He is the one tormenting your life and your family. He is the one putting hindrances and obstacles in your way to victory, to prosperity and also retarding your progress. Don’t say that God is putting something on you to teach you something. That’s not Biblical. If God is the one putting something on you to teach you something, He wouldn’t say we should resist the negative situation coming our way from the devil.
Jesus bore our diseases. By His stripes we were healed. God is not the one killing unborn babies through abortion. It’s the devil who entices people to do wicked and evil things. Satan does not do good because it’s not his nature to do good, his only job is to do evil. God is not the one who caused the holocaust. Satan is the enemy who comes in to steal, kill and destroy. Don’t say that nothing can happen unless God allows it. That’s not so. If it were so, God wouldn’t tell us to resist Satan. God has given us authority. There’s an adversary who goes about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. 9 Resist him, steadfast in the faith.
