TOPIC: TRY AGAIN 5: Tricks Of The Enemies
MEMORY VERSE:
Matthew 7:7
“7. Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:”
BIBLE READING:
2 Kings 1:13 & 15.
“13. And he sent again a captain of the third fifty with his fifty. And the third captain of fifty went up, and came and fell on his knees before Elijah, and besought him, and said unto him, O man of God, I pray thee, let my life, and the life of these fifty thy servants, be precious in thy sight.
“15. And the angel of the LORD said unto Elijah, Go down with him: be not afraid of him. And he arose, and went down with him unto the king.”
Our Bible Passage today is a familiar chapter of the Bible which we’ve digested to the fullest. But I want us to see it from another angle today. King Ahaziah was wrath with Prophet Elijah because he kept revealing the intentions of the king before they were pronounced, so The Bible said in 2 Kings 1:9
“9. Then the king sent unto him a captain of fifty with his fifty. And he went up to him: and, behold, he sat on the top of an hill. And he spake unto him, Thou man of God, the king hath said, Come down.”
This is how our enemies are targeting us. They rise against us because we have become thorn in their flesh. We are familiar with what happened to the two sets of captains and their fifties. But the king never relented, as our enemies are not relenting against us. The king had a mind set of, “Let Me Try Again” and the Lord granted his desire, although it didn’t work for him at the end. The third Captain came and humbled himself and the Angel told Elijah, “Go down with Him” which means, the King’s intention was granted. If you give up the devil will defeat you. In order not to be defeated you need to keep calling fire to consume everything that’s trying to bring you down. The enemy also apply this principle of “Try Again” but I pray today, he will keep failing concerning us in Jesus Mighty Name, Amen. Don’t give in to oppositions, keep trying again and again to defeat his determination, and God will rise to your defence in Jesus name. Keep resisting the devil and his tricks, very soon, we will overcome in Jesus name, Amen.
Good Morning and God Bless you.
Happy Birthday to all celebrants and Happy Wedding Anniversary to those celebrating today. May you experience God’s fruitfulness in Jesus Mighty name, Amen.
