Dunamis Seeds Of Destiny 18 July 2024 Devotional By Dr. Paul Enenche: Light – The Answer To Darkness
TOPIC: Light – The Answer To Darkness (Seeds Of Destiny 18 July 2024)
SCRIPTURE: 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. – Matthew 4:1.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: You are only at the mercy of the devil if you are bankrupt of light or insight from God’s Word.
MESSAGE:
Many years ago, Paul Yongi Cho of Blessed Memory was trying to cast out a demon. He said he did everything he could do, but the demon refused to be cast out.
Then he suddenly got a flash of light or insight about his identity in Christ Jesus. He saw what Christ did for him on the Cross of Calvary.
The light emboldened him, so he went ahead and told the demon, “You have to go out now. Two thousand years ago, my elder brother, Jesus Christ, defeated you on my behalf on the Cross of Calvary. I hereby stand in his shoes to command you to get out now!”
He said it was unbelievable what happened next: the demon said, “Hold on! I will go, but please don’t tell anyone about this, because many people are not aware of it.”
Beloved, can you see this? Light is the only answer to darkness. The revelation of the word of God is light that disarms the devil. This is why ignorance is a strong weapon of the devil.
Jesus used the power of light and revelation to disarm the devil. When the devil tempted him to turn stone into bread, Jesus told the devil,
…It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God. Matthew 4:1.
Please note that it is the revelation of the Word of God that Jesus had that made him defeat the devil.
The truth is, you are only at the mercy of the devil if you are bankrupt of light or insight from God’s Word.
Beloved, this is my counsel for you today: arm yourself with light; arm yourself with the weapon of insight from God’s Word so you can fight against the wiles of the devil. Search the Scriptures and let God reveal His Word to you.
Remember this: You are only at the mercy of the devil if you are bankrupt of light or insight from God’s Word.
ASSIGNMENT:
- Search the Scripture and let God reveal His Word to you.
- Use the light of God’s Word to tackle every form of darkness threatening your life.
PRAYER: Lord, I receive the grace to search the Scripture and locate relevant light and insight. I receive the grace to engage the light for the dissolution of every darkness around my life, Lord in Jesus’ Name.
