MFM Daily Devotional 14 September 2023 MESSAGE
Judas made himself a ready tool for satan by giving him a foothold through an unconfessed sin. It satan was able to enter into someone who had been with Jesus, how much those who are regularly toying with sin. Many believers are demon-possessed; many have strong evil spirits residing in them for years, all because there is a foothold in place.
Jesus said, “Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the prince of this world cometh, and hath nothing in me” (John 14:30). The devil is not resting; he is walking about seeking who to devour. He came to Jesus and hath nothing in Him. Daniel also had the same testimony, “Then said these men, We shall not find any occasion against this Daniel, except we find it against him concerning the law of his God” (Daniel 6:5). Can satan’s properties be found in you? Lust, anger, malice, stealing, love of money, lying, pride, etc.
READ MFM Daily Devotional 13 September 2023 – Lessons from The Life of Judas (V)
Beloved, check it, if the devil comes to you today, what will be your own testimony? The kingdom of darkness is always looking for an opportunity against Christians but you and I must do well not to give him a chance. Even if you make a mistake, do well to repent immediately and get back on track with God. Do not let any sin go unconfessed in your life. If you give the devil a foothold, he will build a stronghold from there. It is better not to allow him in than to start a struggle of pulling down strongholds.
There are three personalities you cannot deceive about your lifestyle. You cannot deceive God, the devil and yourself.
A song writer sang. “You cannot hide it from God, you cannot hide it from God, you may cover your sins and think nobody knows, you cannot hide it from God.” The Bible says that”…..be sure your sin will find you out.” Whosoever covers his or her sins shall not prosper. Beloved, you have ample opportunity to expose that hidden sin. Let go that garment of Babylon; do away with those besetting sins; do not give a foothold to satan in your life. Jesus is ready to forgive you. Take that bold step and be free. When Jesus sats you free, you are free indeed!
