Zero Tolerance to the Devil

 


An Emoji Devotions for Wed 23 June 2021


Topic: Zero Tolerance to the Devil


Highlight: Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

James 4:7


The devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. Lions have strong, compact bodies and powerful forelegs, teeth and jaws for pulling down and killing prey. Lions rely on stalking their prey and seldom charge until they are within 30m unless the prey is facing away and cannot see the charge. So is the Devil. The Bible says in John 10:10 that "The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life,and have it to the full."


The devil has that animal instinct that does has no consideration of little bit of kindness. What the devil steals away is joy. This is what you must guide in your life. The joy of the Lord through Jesus Christ. There is Joy for anyone who abide in Jesus Christ and his commands because Jesus Christ is the only one who fights for the betterment and joy of humanity.  Jesus is the way and the truth and the life. He is also the the gate; that whoever enters through him will be saved. 


This means that there is different between pleasure, happiness and Joy. You may have pleasure and be happy that may only last for a moment. But Joy is looking back and forth and there is hope of life, there is love, there is vibrant energy to continue your journey. Jesus is the Hope of glory. On the other hand the devil is a hope killer. 


Remember that the devil is always stalking his prey and the only solution is to receive Jesus into our lives. "Therefore Jesus said again, “Very truly I tell you, I am the gate for the sheep. I am the gate; whoever enters through me will be saved. They will come in and go out, and find pasture." John 10:7,9


You must be ready to be a sheep and follow Jesus the shepherd. in John 10:11 He said "I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep." It is only Jesus that will lay down his life for you to protect you from the enemy. Do not listen to any deceit of the devil anymore. Carry your Bible and start reading about Jesus in the new Testament from today. If you are not born again unto the family of God. Do so right away by saying " Jesus the son of God I believe in you, save my soul from the hands of the devil. Turn me to your sheep and keep me in under your protection from the enemy of my soul. Forever Amen.


Prayer: Lord Jesus I look up to you  for protection over my soul. Amen.
