MFM DAILY DEVOTIONAL 3 JUNE 2024 MESSAGE:
To resist means to withstand the force or effect of a thing or person. In this case, resisting the devil calls for divine intervention and ability. As Christians, we don’t have the human strength, wisdom or power to do so except we are divinely empowered. James advised that a Christian should first draw nearer to God and thereafter, resist the devil. How then do you draw near to God? What are the things you can do to help you resist this evil one at all times?
Drawing nearer to God involves being a friend of God. To be a friend of God, you must surrender your life to Jesus Christ and accept Him as your Lord and Saviour. It is this new birth that brings you to that position of intimacy with God through Christ Jesus. As you grow and get mature in your Christian life, engage in daily consistent reading and studying of God’s word, communing with God daily in prayer and praying all kinds of prayers.
You will be renewed in your mind and your inner man will be transformed. Also, your spiritual growth and maturity will become evident in word and in deed. It is important that you become an ardent worshipper of the Most High. God dwells in the praises of His beloved.
In addition, you should flee from every appearance of sin. Walk in love and truth, following the footsteps of Jesus. Embrace humility, which is a mark of Christlikeness. As you become more like Jesus, manifesting the fruit of the Spirit (Gal.5:22-23) in every area of your life and relationships, you will get to the point where you can boldly declare that “the prince of this world comes but finds nothing in me” (John 14:30).
This kind of declaration can only be done when you have forsaken the world and all that is in it. You are in the world but not a citizen of the world. As a Christian, your citizenship is in heaven not on earth. Hence, do not be a friend to the world! Doing this opens you to a great risk with the thief, who has come to steal, kill and destroy. No one romances the devil and go scot free. Resist him at all cost! When you do your part, God will do His, to deliver to the uttermost.
TODAY’S PRAYER POINTS:
