DEVICES OF THE CRAFTY

DEVICES OF THE CRAFTY
The crafty is skillful at deceiving others, he is characterized by craft, cunning and wily. The crafty devise means to bring men down. The crafty devise means to kill, steal and destroy men. The crafty tempts, but can be resisted only if we are on GOD’s side and submit ourselves to GOD.  James 4 vs. 7: Submit yourselves therefore to GOD. Resist the devil and he will flee from you. Submission to GOD helps GOD disappoint the devices of the crafty. The devil and his agents are the crafty. Total submission to GOD helps us disappoint them. JESUS CHRIST, after fasting for forty days and forty nights was tempted by the crafty. Matthew 4 vs. 2: And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was afterward a hungered. Vs. 3: And when the tempter came to him, he said, if thy be the son of GOD, command that these stones be made bread. Vs. 4: But he answered and said, it is written, man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of GOD. Vs. 5: Then the devil taketh him up into the holy city, and setteth him on a pinnacle of the temple; Vs. 6: And saith unto him, if thou be the son of GOD, cast thyself down; for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning thee; and in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone. Vs. 7: JESUS said unto him, it is written again, thou shalt not tempt the LORD thy GOD. Vs. 10: Then saith JESUS unto him, Get thee hence, satan for it is written, Thou shalt worship the LORD thy GOD, and him only shalt thou serve.       

             The devil in his craftiness tried all possible means, tempting JESUS; but He submitting to GOD his father made him resists him and he fled. The crafty tempted Eve and she fell for it; we shouldn’t be ignorant of the devices of the crafty. 2 Corinthians 2 vs. 11: Lest Satan should get an advantage of us; for we are not ignorant of his devices. Job 5 vs. 12: He disappointed the devices of the crafty, so that their hands cannot perform their enterprise. The crafty will always devise means, he will surely have an enterprise, but total submission to GOD will disappoint the crafty’s devices and his hands won’t be able to perform his enterprise. It is well with us..

OUR DAYS.

OUR DAYS Greetings to all reading on this platform worldwide. I write on this topic OUR DAYS even as   my twin sister and I are a year older today. Glory be to GOD for a new year and a new day. A song says great is thy faithfulness, Oh LORD my father, morning by morning new mercies we see, all we have needed his hands have provided, Great is thy faithfulness. Truly great is his faithfulness toward all men. Many are not convinced of these, many don’t see something special in GOD’s faithfulness towards them. David said “Then I lay down and slept in peace and woke up safely, for the LORD was watching over me. He GOD never sleeps nor slumber over us, we just find out we sleep and before you know it, you open your eye to a new day. This is the LORD’s doing and it should be marvelous in our sights. We are to see reasons to always appreciate and thank GOD for his goodness, mercies and faithfulness. That you are alive shows He is faithful. The gift of life which is the greatest of...

FREEDOM FREEDOM FREEDOM

FREEDOM FREEDOM FREEDOM Freedom is a state of being able to do what you want without anything stopping you. Galatians 5 vs 1 says: so Christ has made us free, now make sure that you stay free, and don’t get all tied up again in the chains of slavery to jewish laws and ceremonies. Christ’s death on the cross made us free, we are in bondage before, but Christ made us free. We are tied up in chains slavery to sins, but his death made us free. The bible said whosoever the son sets free, is free indeed. We have been set free, and we are free. Many misuse this freedom, many use this freedom to do the wrong things. Many still dwell in sins despite, this freedom. This freedom brings grace, love, purity and faithfulness. The bible said we can’t continue in sins and say grace to abound, GOD forbid. When you are in sin, your freedom becomes captivity again. That is why, you must flee from all appearances of sins. Paul said in Galatians 5 vs 13: For dear brothers, you ...

THE DUTY OF MAN

THE DUTY OF MAN Duty is that which one is morally obligated to do. A husband in a house is responsible for meeting his family’s needs. That is the duty of a husband. A wife is responsible for taking care of the children and also house chores. That is the duty of a wife. A school teacher’s responsibility is to teach the students. That is the teacher’s duty. A student’s responsibility is to go to school, listen to what the teacher teaches and study them. That is the student’s responsibility. Our Creator GOD created everything for a purpose. Every creation has a duty to carry out. Unfortunately, many creations have failed in their duty. When a man doesn’t carry out his duty he is termed a failure. It causes the Creator GOD nothing to replace men with stones when they fail him. I pray may you not fail GOD!                However, there is time for everything. Don’t get excited and get carried away in this world. D...
