RESIST THE ROARING LION
TEXT: 1 PETER 5:1-9
MEMORY VERSE: “Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world” (1 PETER 5:9).
Children of God should be aware of the devil’s existence and his antics. A Christian woman in Abuja, the Federal Capital City of Nigeria, narrated how she overcame a tempter of another religion. He offered her a lift in his car as she waited for a taxi cab.
No sooner had they driven off than he placed his right hand on her lap. She screamed at him to take off his hand or drop her. Surprised, he withdrew his hand. Her resistance ended his planned amorous affair. Satan is out to ruin the testimony of every Christian.
A counselor once asked a little convert, “What if the devil comes to your door and tries to lead you astray?” The young girl answered, “I’ll ask Jesus to answer it”. That’s great! There’s power in the name of Jesus. Like a roaring lion, Satan looks for whom to devour, but always remember that greater is He that’s in us than he that’s in the world. Resist him with the Word, prayer and Jesus’ name, and be sure of victory.
QUOTE: Resist him with the Word, prayer and Jesus’ name.
CHALLENGE: Cast your care and fears on our Great God.
PRAYER: Thank you Father for my victory over the devil in Jesus’ name.
