RESIST THE DEVIL.


*James:4.7* 
 Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

--------------------------------------------
There is a definite end that the bible has clearly stated....;the fleeing away of the devil from you just after resistance.

The devil uses our weaknesses to over throw us...we all know that. He uses what we already know in our minds to tempt us. He uses the beliefs we cherish in our hearts to mislead us. The devil starts from the point where you are to fail and destroy your destiny.

However, two things within scripture show that embracing them as a tool in fighting the enemy will definitely make him loose; total submission to God and resisting the devil.

You cannot resist the devil if you don't totally submit to God. And you can't submit to God if you have not decided to resist the devil. You have to accept one of the two in your heart and not both of them. 
Resistance starts within your thoughts. If you think there is a sin that the devil has tied on you, it is upon yourself to make up you mind to let go of the sin. If there is a habit that the devil has tied on you , it is upto you to mentally decide to let go. The bad character you have , can flee if you let go mentally. The wrong thought can flee if you mentally resist. Devil fights you in your mind. Resist him in your mind. God needs your heart. Wherever, He is 'found' including your church and here within scripture; submit your heart dear friend.

TRIBE OF LENDERS

TRIBE OF LENDERS   Proverbs 19:17  He who is kind and generous to the poor lends to the Lord, and he will reward him for what he has done. -------------------------------------------- It is easy to go through life with the mind of "it's not enough...it's not enough". By nature, we were created to recognize the fact that it's we first then .... We were created to survive and always know that there is not enough. Our genes have been made to think about ourselves alone and how we survive in the world of scarcity. This fact that thrives within us is not supposed to be proved true. There are several results that God has set for those that prove such rules wrong. You know, when you try to go against human nature and try to mimic the nature of God, you attract more of what God has set for the cause. As the human nature is self centered and self seeking, stepping out of such to pursue kindness and open hands attracts God's attention...it attracts the rewa...

OLDEN STRENGTH

OLDEN STRENGTH Psalm 77:1 I will remember the deeds of the Lord; yes, I will remember your miracles of long ago. -------------------------------------------- It is easy to go through life thinking about the future and forgetting the past. Craving for the future is one thing I have realized does not end. Even the very rich still have cravings. There can not be a moment where cravings end and the mind is inactive only thriving in gratification. Such a moment is only created by us. Anyway, that was a by- the- way. Our point starts from here. The future does not hold the roots but the past does. The roots are not from the sky but are from where the tree started. What makes the tree strong are the roots .  What makes the future strong are the roots. They are the past. You cannot know where you should go unless you know where you came from. How typical you may know where you came from is another factor.  Knowing that God is great is not knowing the future that holds. Knowing that Go...

FORWARD

FORWARD Luke 13:33  In any case, I must press on today and tomorrow and the next day—... --------------------------------------------    A Levite in the desert thought was cunning. After killing the Egyptian, he sauntered back to the community. Little did he realise that he was noticed by his fellow and that the news had gone about faster than it could. Knowing this, he fled to Midian where he met the Lord. And being asked by the Lord to rescue his people from slavery, Moses refused. He thought that role was better with someone more superior. But after the Lord insisting, he took the task. The people who were thought as slaves were no lesser to stubbornness and disrespect. They gave Moses hard time. But one thing that happened was forward movement.  Even the Lord used lots of wonders to sustain them through the journey and yet many died from their stubbornness. But regardless of their deaths, the journey went forward. God moved forward. Moses faced the worst of trial...
