MESSAGE: Do Not Give A Place To The Devil
SPEAKER: Server Shadreck Haruzivi
MAIN SCRIPTURES: Revelation 20:2, 7 & 8; Luke 22:31 - 33
POINTS
How Do We Give A Place To The Devil
-
Impatience
- Inability to wait for the Lord.
- This is one of the greatest traps that is affecting us in the modern day.
- Because of impatience King Samuel, failed to listen to the instructions of the Lord through the prophet Samuel (1 Samuel 13:7 - 9)
- Guard against it!
-
Lust
- Through staying behind instead of going to war with his army, King David was led into the lust of Bathsheba (2 Samuel 11).
-
Deception
Through deception the devil has placed a foothold in our lives (Revelations 20:2,7,8 & John 10:10).
-
Pain
- The devil did not acknowledge God's protection around Job, but he looked for a way to attack him (Job 1:1,6 - 12 & Job 2:1 - 11).
- We need God's protection around us.
- The devil likes to attack our future through "self condemnation".
Lying
- The devil made Ananias and Saphira to lie before the Lord which made them to die (Acts 5:3).
-
Conclusion
- Let's live a life of obedience and under the protection of God.
