Power over Satan

Saturday 10 December
READ: Luke 10: 18 - 19
MORE LESSON: Job 1: 6 - 7

When a third of the angels in Heaven rebelled against God under the rebel-leader called Lucifer, they were cast down to the earth. These fallen angels became very bad and are responsible for all the evil in the world today. The earth is divided under two forces; the good God and evil satan. Since the rebellion of the devil and his defeat in Heaven, he came to the earth looking for men to be in his rebellious camp. Every man is either in the camp of the Lord or the camp of the devil for there is no sitting on the fence. Some people say they are neither for God nor for the devil; they are free men. There are no free men and there is no neutrality, any man that is not for Jesus is for satan (Luke 9: 50).
Every man that is in the camp of the Lord is far above the devil (Eph. 1: 20-23). Satan is defeated and all his cohorts – fallen angels, demons, familiar spirits, wicked spirits and human agents-have been trampled underfoot of the Lord. It is gladdening to know that your enemy is a defeated foe. It should give you relief to know that satan is not that powerful - he has no power over you. Luke 10: 19 says, Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.
Never you magnify satan, either by fearing him or talking about him. Rather, talk about Jesus and what He is doing in your life. Some people are always talking about the devil and what he is doing to them. Even what satan didn't do, they will say that he did it. They will say that satan hid their shoe and they couldn't find it on time, that is why they came late to church even when satan didn't come to their house at all. If you didn't know that satan is not omnipresent, then know it now. He cannot be in more than a place at a time. That is why in the book of Job, when asked where he has been, he said that he has been trekking to and fro on the earth. Only the Almighty God is in every place and all places at the same time. Satan is limited, and over a believer that knows his position in Christ, he is powerless and clueless.
The Bible proves our victory over satan, Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross; ...he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it: Col. 2:14 -15. This shows us that through the cross, Jesus defeated satan and his cohorts and made a public spectacle of them. He triumphed over them and He placed you above them. If you are a genuine child of God, you have authority over satan and all his demons through the name of Jesus. Use your authority over him today.
