Deliver us from Evil

READ: Psa. 21:7-12
MORE LESSONS: Psa.
2:1-4
Bible Reading in One Year: Genesis 47-50 Evil is wickedness, it is anything that negates good. To be delivered from evil is to be set free from the destroyer because evil is a destroyer. It is to have dominion over every negative thing that rules over your life. Sickness and diseases are evil that you need to be delivered from, He sends His word and delivered them from their destruction: Ps. 107:20. You need to be delivered from ignorance of the Word and promises of God for your life, My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge… Hosea 4:6. When you know what the Word of God says concerning your situation you will be bold in trial. Caleb says, for it is said concerning me, Jesus says, for it is written, find the Word of God and you are delivered from anything that afflicts you.
Poverty is another evil that has made people to go into things that do not glorify God. It is a curse for which Christ has paid. Yet men worship men instead of God, some fornicate, all in a bid to make ends meet. Satan attempted it with Jesus when he demanded of Him, ...fall down and worship me: Matt.4:9. You will not bow to anybody because of what you will eat and wear, in Jesus’ name.
Evil can come from your enemy, For they intended evil against thee: they imagined a mischievous device, which they are not able to perform: Psa. 21:11. Today, God will deliver you from everyone that intends evil or imagines a mischievous device against you, in Jesus’ name. Evil can be spoken against a person in the form of a false report that is capable of tarnishing one’s image, spoil his record or even put him in trouble. It was done to Jesus.
There are also evil days as the Bible warns, Remember now thy Creator in the days of thy youth, while the evil days come not,.... Eccl. 12:1. Paul cautions, See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise, Redeeming the time, because the days are evil: Eph. 5:15-16. Friend, the evil days are here!
Our nation like others is bedevilled with terrorism, political unrest, ethno-religious crises, natural disasters and epidemics. Several innocent people suffer for no just cause. What is the way out? Paul gives a clue to the way out, Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil: Eph.6:10-11. Satan is the architect of all evil. The armour of God that you need to put on is a life of righteousness and holy living,equipped with the Word of God.
Today, you will be delivered from all evil, in Jesus’ name.

Prayer/Action
* Lord, take evil far away from me.
* Deliver me from evil men wherever I go today, in Jesus’ name.
* I shall see no evil, I shall hear no evil from today, in Jesus’ name.
