Bible Reading :1 Peter 5:8-9 TPT. Key Verse: v9.
Be well balanced and always alert, because your enemy, the devil, roams around incessantly, like a roaring lion looking for its prey to devour. Take a decisive stand against him and resist his every attack with strong, vigorous faith. For you know that your believing brothers and sisters around the world are experiencing the same kinds of troubles you endure.
Christianity is a lifestyle of faith. Starting from the point of salvation till when the earthly journey of a believer ends, God expects us to relate with him on the platform of faith. This means that we will need to follow God by his leading and instructions, even when it doesn’t make the right sense to us as humans at least at the beginning. This is because, when God wants to do a thing, he iis not looking at the beginning, but the end which speaks volumes about what he intends to achieve with us at the end of it all. The implication of all this is that we can’t get the best of God, except we are able to trust in his integrity as God, to the extent that he can never disappoint. A good example is the father of faith himself Abraham. By sound human counsel, it wasn’t a good decision for any man to leave some terrain he was used to, to sojourn in the unknown, simply because a Spirit communicated with him. That journey by every known human wisdom is too risky for a normal human being to undertake because even the destination at the beginning was not revealed. Genesis 12:1-4.
We must know that the journey of faith is not one that is free of challenges. Rather, it one in which our victory over every challenges that comes our way is guaranteed at the end because the presence of the Lord in our camp. The enemy is bound to roar as usual and be on the prowl, our own part is to take a decisive stand against his activities as to create boundaries that he can’t cross. This means that we have to take charge of things and situations as men that have understanding. We must not forget that the enemy becomes powerful when we live careless and fail in our duties, he then takes advantage of our failures to have a field day, when allowed. Our part here is to make sure that we are always in right standing or balanced to counter every of his crafty and wicked moves around our territory. Already, in Christ, we have already been configured to prevail all the time. “Yet even in the midst of all these things, we triumph over them all, for God has made us to be more than conquerors, and his demonstrated love is our glorious victory over everything!” Romans 8:37.
Conclusively we need to learn that the suffering or trouble the Lord allows us to pass through for the sake of the kingdom does not last. The reason for that is that they are divine instruments that are meant to be used to prepare us for a life of glory which lasts forever in hm. This life of glory starts here on earth and continues in eternity. That is the reason we must always recover from our losses encountered in the past. Our experiences in him helps us to always come out stronger and better because things the enemy throw at us to stop us end up becoming materials used to build us up firmly in his love and presence. “So we are convinced that every detail of our lives is continually woven together to fit into God’s perfect plan of bringing good into our lives, for we are his lovers who have been called to fulfill his designed purpose.” Romans 8:28.
Prayer :Thank you Father God because you are faithful in every situation. Help me to walk with you in my lifetime in the paths of faith. Help me to take advantage of your instructions to accelerate and live to fulfill divine purpose in my lifetime in Jesus precious name…. Amen 🙏🏿.
