TODAY'S REFLECTION

If u look @ d way saints of old overcame d old serpent,u wil discover
1 simple method dat can b applied most of d time.Dat method is 2 do d
exact opposite of wat d devil expects.In every situation of
temptation,God has a particular way of escape 4 u.In d same vein,Satan
has his own expectations regarding hw he wants u 2 respond.U re d 1
in-btw dese two forces nd derefore u re d 1 to determine which 1 u wil
choose.A safe way out is 2 always go contrary 2 d expectations of d
devil.For instance,wen d devil tells u 2 see sumtin,u wil know dat a
temptation nd a trap is hiding somewhere,so refuse 2 see wat he wants
u 2 see.Wen he tells u 2 go nd pay a visit 2 d opposite sex @ an
ungodly hour,simply refuse.If u obey him,u wil surely regret dat act.
Wen Satan tempted Jesus in Matthew 4:6,he justified his request wit a
scripture.He may ask u 2 visit d opposite sex @ 10:00pm bcus u hav not
seen d fellow in church,nd bcus we re 2 b our broda's keeper.Simply
tell him,every good tin has its right time nd back it up wit wat Jesus
told him:"It is written again,Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God".
Satan loves 2 b worshiped.It is obvious dat 1 tin dat made him 2
desire independence 4rm God was d way he,d billions of angels under
him nd all oda creatures in Heaven worshiped God.He was jealous of dis
unprecedented worship nd thought of hw he too could receive
worship.Ever since he broke away,he has forced nd demanded worship of
men nd of fallen angels.He was so carried away by his crave 4 worship
dat he demanded worship 4rm His Creator-Jesus Christ,wen He came as a
man(Matthew 4:9).So,in all u do,never give credit or glory 2
Satan.Never bow b4 him or his agents nd never worship him.Refuse 2 say
wat he wants said concerning a given situation.Don't eat or drink wat
he wants u 2 take.Pray nd evangelise wen he gives u reasons not
to.Always go in opposition 2 him nd u wil overcome.
