Resisting The Devils Schemes

The only purpose why the devil comes to our lives is to steal, kill and destroy (John 10:10). He don’t intend to mingle with us or make friends. What he wanted is to destroy our life, our relationships, our businesses, our jobs; everything that is in our life. The devils plans are very opposite to God’s plan.

1.) God wants us to live abundantly – Satan wants us to have nothing

2.) God loves relationship- Satan wants broken relationship

3.) God gives joy – Satan gives depression

4.) God provides – Satan steals

5.) God cares – Satan hates

6.) God wants our success – Satan wants us failures

7.) God is optimistic – Satan is pessimistic

These are just a few differences. It will be thousands and millions of them if we will thoroughly list them all. To make it short, everything is different. No doubt that Satan will try to deceive us, put lies on our minds just to destroy our life.

Here’s a sweet reminder from God. Satan has limits. He can‘t give us temptations and struggles which are irresistible. God’s always gives us an escape for the devils schemes according to 1 Corinthians 10.

In addition, God already reminded us on how we can turn away from the devils schemes. In James 4:7, the bible says that “Submit yourselves to the Lord, Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.”

Daily Devotion Conclusion:

Most of the time, Satan successfully enters our lives because we let him in. We open doors for him through sinning against God. As you live your daily life, do not let the devil steal God’s blessings and opportunities for you. He may have come to ruin our life but rest assured we know that God will put everything in place.

Declare this to yourself:

THE DEVIL CAN’T WIN, I CAN’T LOOSE.
