The Lake of Fire

Tuesday 6 December
READ: Rev. 20: 10 - 15
MORE LESSON: Rev. 21: 8

In the text for today, the Bible shows the end of satan and all that are joined with him. It is important to know that anyone who is not with the Lord Jesus is with the devil. Just as Jesus said that He was going to the Father to prepare a place for those that are His so that they may be where He is (John 14: 2 - 3), the devil also is going somewhere and those that follow him will be where he is. The devil, the antichrist, the false prophet and all those whose names are not found in the book of life are cast into the lake of fire which burns forever and ever, And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever: Rev. 20: 10.
The lake of fire is a place of eternal torment created for the fallen angels who rebelled against God and left their abode in Heaven. Satan and all the fallen angels know that they have been irrevocably sentenced to eternal anguish in the lake of fire. They want to carry as many other people as they can along, this is why they work so hard at deceiving the world , making people reject God and neglect the salvation in the blood of Jesus. The judgment of the lake of fire is on the head of satan and not on yours, so why will you allow yourself to be dragged into satan's sentence? Satan's sentence cannot be reversed but every man alive still has the opportunity to repent and cross over to the side of the Lord.
Don't go and suffer satan's punishment with him. Any man's sin can be forgiven if he will come to the Lord in repentance through Jesus Christ. The sin of the devil can never be forgiven because his fate has been decided. This is the reason you should accept Jesus as your Lord and Saviour now that you still have breath. Once a man dies, it is too late to repent. As it is written, ...it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment: Heb 9:27.
There is no sin and iniquity that a man has committed that the blood of Jesus cannot wash away. All you have to do is invite Jesus in and say no to sin. Today is the day of salvation, tomorrow may be too late, And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent: Acts 17:30.

Prayer/Action
* Lord Jesus, today I invite You into my life afresh, have mercy on my shortcomings.
* Satan, I renounce you in my life, pack your things and leave, in Jesus’ name.
*Today, little foxes of sinful nature in my life are renounced, in Jesus’ name.

TODAY'S PROPHETIC PRAYER
I declare my year shall not end in sorrow or disaster, but in testimony and songs, in the name of Jesus.
