Word
of Hope for Today by
Bro. Rolly Custodio
“God’s Spirit, who is in you, is greater than the
devil, who is in the world.” 1Jn 4:4 NCV
Today’s Insight
The
third lesson that we learn is;
The attack from Satan. We either
trivialize or exaggerate Satan’s power, and each spells trouble! The first
makes you feel vulnerable; the second creates in you an unfounded fear.
Understanding Satan’s ways—and your weapons—equips you to handle his attacks
and resist him. How can you do that?
(1) By understanding
that God effectively destroyed Satan’s power through Christ’s victory at the
cross. “He
stripped the rulers and authorities of their power and made a public spectacle
of them as he celebrated his victory in Christ” (Col 2:15 GWT). Satan’s attempt
to destroy Jesus backfired in a glorious defeat that allows you to celebrate
your victory in Christ!
(2) By understanding
that “God's Spirit, who is in you, is greater than the devil, who is in the
world.” No power is greater
than the Spirit of God Who lives within you. If you abide in Christ, Satan
can’t control or conquer you (See Jn 15:7). Why? Because he would have to
overcome Jesus to do it!
(3) By understanding
that you can defeat Satan because Jesus has “given you authority over all the
power of the enemy”(Lk 10:19 NLT). The criminal must submit to the police
officer because the officer is vested with and backed up by the full authority
of the law. So when you draw on the authority God has given you in Christ,
Satan has no choice; he must observe the limits you enforce against him. He can
do nothing to you without your cooperation, and you don’t have to give it—and
Satan hopes you never discover that.
Application:
Satan is very real because as of today when you see an inappropriate action
like; Killing in anywhere, harming you and your family and others destroyed
because of vices, family split, frustrations, stress, hopeless etc. all of
these are Satan and his demons doing these acts. As believers we don’t have to
fear because Jesus has defeated him already 2,014 years ago and let’s celebrate
with his victory, every time the devil reminds
you of your past mistakes what you will do remind him that his mistake and his
defeat and lastly his destination which is in the lake of fire. As we walk daily
continues to pray in spirit and meditating God’s Word so that when Satan
attacks you use the Word of God to defense yourself and counter attack him because
that is exactly he was retreat when Jesus used the Word of God during their
battle and God is reminding us today that the same strategy that we will use
against him.
Today’s Prayer
Heavenly Father, thank for
your Word today. Lord, thank you for encouraging us to stand strong in our ground against Satan. Thank you for teaching us today about your strategy on how to defeat him. Lord thank you for giving us courage not to fear Satan but to remind him that he is defeated already by you oh Lord. Our trust in you and your Word gives us courage to face him fearlessly. Lord thank you for the victory that you did and this is also our victory. Lord thank you for teaching us to live a victorious life and to walk by faith as we serve you Lord for your glory. In Jesus Name! Amen!
Prayer
for Salvation

and I receive you into my heart as my personal Lord and Savior, In Jesus Name!
