Winning Over the Old Serpent

Text: Exo. 1:8-11
More Lessons: 2 Cor. 2:11

Among the weapons that Satan uses to prevent men from becoming what God has destined for men are cunning devices and craftiness. In our Scripture reading today, Pharaoh adopted these methods in dealing with Israel; lest they multiply. (Exo. 1:10). It was the same weapon Satan used to overpower Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. He simply made the fruit of the knowledge of good and evil appeal to their emotions. And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof and did eat and gave also unto her husband with her and he did eat: Gen. 3:6.

I wish to let you know that Satan and his agents have not changed from using cunny and crafty schemes to tamper with and alter people's destinies in our generation. Make up your mind today that you will not listen to and accept those thoughts flooding your mind that you should stop being over-righteous and try other means outside Jesus to solve your problems. That is the voice of Satan. Your destiny is designed for the top and you will get there. Only ensure that you don't yield to all the ever increasing satanic seductions and temptations intended to lure you Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life: Pro. 4:23. How do you do this? By taking heed there to according to thy word: Psa. 119:9.

Finally, I Pet. 5:8-9 says, Be sober, be vigilant. Because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about seeking whom he may destroy... v 9, whom resist steadfast in the faith. So we keep our hearts by being sober, vigilant and by resisting Satan his tricks steadfastly, never giving room to Satan in any way. I believe the power that helped Jesus to overcome Satan's tricks and crafts are available also for us today. Jesus said ...for this prince of this world cometh, and hath nothing in me: Jn. 14:30. In the same way, we will win over Satan's whiles and testify like our Master did.
