TOPIC: Escape from the Snare of the Flesh (2)
Fire Scripture
Matthew 4:1-11
MFM Daily Devotional 20 May 2021 Outline:
Man lost control of the authority over creation that God had originally delegated to him as a result of his disobedience. Thereafter, man became slave to the sin he brought into the world. The devil now began to dominate the earth with his evil purposes.
He now patrols the earth as commander of a host of evil spirits through which he enslaves and keeps captive those who do not have a personal relationship with Christ. 1 John 3:8 affirms that Jesus came to earth to destroy the works of the devil, establish God’s Kingdom and free us and all mankind from satan’s power.
One of the major themes in the gospel of Mark is Jesus’ constant aim to defeat satan and demonic powers (Mark 3:27). According to our text, the devil also came to tempt Jesus after forty days’ and forty nights’ prayer and fasting, showing Him (Jesus) all that he (the devil) has control over. The devil is also called the accuser or adversary.
He was originally a great angel created perfect and good. He was appointed to serve around God’s throne in heaven. He became filled with pride and rebelled against God. This now made him to become the primary enemy of God and of God’s greatest creation, mankind.
Despite all his efforts against Jesus, he was defeated. Beloved, you too can escape his snares. You must keep in mind, however, that satan is not equal with God. He is just a created being and is limited by the supreme power of God.
Beloved, our memory verse is a way out of the snare of the devil, “Submit yourself therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you” (James 4:7).
Submission to God is not negotiable. It will enable you to resist the devil and escape his snare, because he will flee from you.
Memory verse
James 4:7 – “Submit yourself therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.”
Motivational Quote
Submission to God is the key to escaping the snare of the devil.
Prophetic Word
Every battle trying to push you back to the devil has already failed, in the name of Jesus.
HYMN – Take my life and let it be
- Take my life and let it be
Consecrated, Lord, to Thee;
Take my moments and my days,
Let them flow in ceaseless praise. -
Take my hands and let them move
At the impulse of Thy love;
Take my feet and let them be
Swift and beautiful for Thee. -
Take my voice and let me sing
Always, only, for my King;
Take my lips and let them be
Filled with messages from Thee. -
Take my silver and my gold
Not a mite would I withhold;
Take my intellect and use
Ev’ry pow’r as Thou shalt choose. -
Take my will and make it Thine
It shall be no longer mine;
Take my heart it is Thine own,
It shall be Thy royal throne. -
Take my love my Lord, I pour
At Thy feet its treasure store;
Take myself and I will be
Ever, only, all for Thee.
