GO AWAY SATAN

Text : Matthew 4:10.

Then Jesus told him, “Go away, Satan! Because it is written,   ‘You must worship the Lord your God   and serve only him.’”

The devil took Jesus to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world, along with their glory, then, he told Him, “I will give you all these things if you will bow down and worship me!”. This account is recorded in Matthew 4:8&9. 

From this record, it's clear that the kingdoms of this world has 'glories', and the devil is the one in charge of them all. 

He promised to give Jesus both the kingdoms and their glory only if He would bow down and worship him.

Without mincing words, Jesus told Satan to go away with his kingdoms and their glories. Can you imagine what Jesus actually turned down? If the devil's proposal wasn't tempting enough, he wouldn't have used it to tempt the King of Glory Himself. 

Can you also say 'go away' to that man and his ungodly offer? Can you boldly say 'go away' to that huge but dishonest business idea? Can you simply say 'go away' to that friendship with its attached strings?

Jesus said in John 14:12 that, *Truly, I tell all of you emphatically, the one who believes in me will also do what I’m doing. He will do even greater things than these, because I’m going to the Father.* 

This is one of the things that Jesus said you will do as His follower. If He was able to turn down Satan with his tempting offer, you are able to do same thing.

Well, Jesus didn't just say go away Satan, He immediately added that 'it is written,'  ‘You must worship the Lord your God and serve only him.’” 

 *Beloved, whatever and whoever is nudging you to bow down God's truth and standards is a Satan that you must vehemently shove away with 'it is written.'* 

Anything or anyone that is demanding your worship outside God is a Satan, you must stand your ground and shout " Go away Satan."

Just like no kingdom or glory in this world is worth trading the kingdom and glory of our Lord Jesus Christ, so also nothing is worth trading the deposit of God in your life with.

In this year, learn to say go away from me Satan because it is written you must worship the Lord your God and serve only him.

THE GOOD FIGHT-2

Text:  1 Timothy  6:12   Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses. Another thing to pursue in fighting the good fight of faith is Godliness. We understand through the Holy scriptures that godliness is profitable unto all things.   *For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.* 1 Timothy  4:8.  You will reap the reward of your godliness not only when you get to heaven, but from here on earth. And this is why we are admonished to exercise ourselves unto godliness. (1 Timothy  4:7), because godliness with contentment is great gain.1 Timothy  6:6. Godliness is the practice of conforming to the image of God by reflecting the nature of the kingdom of God in the course of everyday life. In other words, godliness is living and portray...

IT IS WRITTEN AGAIN

Text: Matthew 4:6. He told Jesus, “Since you are the Son of God, throw yourself down, because it is written,   ‘God will put his angels in charge of you,’ and,   ‘With their hands they will hold you up, so that you will never hit your foot against a rock.’ Jesus knocked devil off with "it is written" when he came to him with the first temptation. So, the devil too decided to use "it is written" for Jesus for the second temptation.  Don't be deceived, the devil knows the scriptures too. Second Corinthians 11:14 says,  "Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light." So, it's no surprise when you see Satan's messengers masquerading themselves as Apostle of Christ. 2 Corinthians 11:14.  The word of God is perfect. Yet, many people can twist it to their advantage and ultimately to their disadvantage. A drunk, smoker, fornicator, liar and all sort can justify their sinful lifestyles with a Bible verse. See to it that you do not twist the word of Go...

TIME IN ETERNITY

Text : Psalms 90:12  So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom._  Our God dwells in eternity past, present and future. In between these phases of eternity, He created man to dwell in Time. When man sinned, he fell short of God's plan, and death came in.(Rom 3:23). Death therefore short circuit man's life in eternity. This is the reason Jesus.came.  He had to come into TIME in order to remove the PAUSE  death HAD on man.  For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:16.  Every man born into this world automatically becomes an eternal being. The question therefore is, which side of eternity would such a man dwell? Everlasting life or Everlasting condemnation? Time is an opportunity given to man to trade for eternal life. You have limited time to exchange for eternal life in eternity.  Time offers you the opportunity to ga...
