[Topic] - NEVER ENGAGE THE DEVIL IN A FIGHT
[Scripture] - 2 Chronicles 20:15 (KJV). "...for the battle is not yours, but God's."
[Message] - Good morning Beloved. Who is this King of glory? The Lord of hosts, He is the King of glory.
This is a serious one this morning. It deals with our every day activity. It addresses our struggles every blessed day. An awful lot of times, we face challenges and trials and temptations, where the devil brings sin wrapped and packaged with desire written all over it, when in the real sense, it's just lust of the flesh, lust of the eyes and pride of life, enough to lead any man to hell.
A not-so-pleasant news is that at the beginning of every year, or month or day, we wake up speaking to ourselves and gearing our spirits for a fight we are very sure to lose. We tell ourselves, 'there's no way the devil will get me to fall today', and we forget that this same devil knows our weaknesses, will hit us right in that spot, and then we come back bowing our heads in shame, while some even think God is not paying attention to them at all.
We must get to the level where we understand that a battle with the devil is one we will never win, as long as we do the fighting. Our anchor scripture has told us the plain truth, 'the battle is not yours'. You're not meant to do the fighting. Like Moses told the Israelites, be still and know that He is God (Exo.14:14).
Please go through your Bible again to Revelation 12:11, you would find out that the Bible says 'they overcame him BY the blood of the Lamb', and not '...WITH the blood of the Lamb'. You're meant to stand back, worship Him, praise Him, plead the Blood and throw scriptures in the face of the devil.
This way, I bet you, there's no way the devil is winning. He already lost once (Col. 2:14-15), He will always lose to Christ. That's the way to win - leave the fight for God and trust Him while you do your own part. Don't fight the devil yourself, you won't win.
