Bible Reading: Matthew 4: 1 – 11
Theme: ALREADY THEY ARE YOURS
Text: Matthew: 4: 8 – 9
8. “Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them; 9: And saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me.”
Word X-ray
Don’t fall for or worship Satan (world)! God has made devil to serve you.You are gods – Psalm. 82:6. You are made and blessed to be fruitful, multiply, increase, rule and dominate – Gen.1:28. Jesus cleared this with Satan! It takes a child of God who is discernible, careful, calm, watchful, simple, prayerful, sensitive, focused, contented and self-disciplined to sense devil’s craftiness and deceits; and overcome his temptations.
Care must be taken not to fall into devil’s trap of covetousness. Pressures will come, temptations will press on you – don’t be deceived neither, be contented! Jesus knew the Devil’s offer and his trap. He knew it was a plan to destroy his ministry and destiny. You are designed to rule the world, you are not to a subject to devil’s fake, juicy and lofty gifts. All these are yours. Should devil offer you the creation which belongs to your Father? It’s not his! What a deception! Don’t be enticed with fake material lifestyle! You have been empowered to rule (Gen 1:28). Nothing must satisfy you more than God. (Joseph was not interested in with Potiphar’s wife offer – Gen.39:7-9). Devil’s gift are wrapped with lies and deceptions. Be watchful
