EVEN THE DEVIL KNOWS!!!

 I will like to share an experience I had three days ago with you. I went to a popularly known market in the South-South of Nigeria called Creek market downtown Port-Harcourt with some people. As we were walking down towards a particular shop to purchase dry fish, I noticed that a woman was following me of which I paid little attention. As we stopped by the targeted store to purchase dry fish, i heard behind me someone say, " woman of God, please help me." I turned to see who it was and behold! it was this woman whom every body in the market was obviously avoiding as they all believed she is possessed with demons and spirit of infirmities. No one wants to go close to her for every one walking by avoided her like a plaque, even the people that went with me moved away.

I asked her, " who told you that I am a woman of God?' She replied, " the spirit within me told me that you are a woman of God." I asked her again, are you sure I am a woman of God, how did you know this?" " I am very serious, you are a woman of God, the spirit within me told me that you are a woman of God", she retorted. I asked her, "would you want me to minister to you? She replied "yes". then i went ahead and ministered to her at the market square and everyone in the market stood to behold the sight. At this time and afterwards, I said to myself, even the devil knows that I am a woman of God despite my casual dressing to the market which did not even depict in any way my spiritual disposition.

My dear reader, I am writing this to you so that you can know this and never forget. EVEN THE DEVIL KNOWS WHO YOU ARE. Demons know that you are a carrier of God and they fear what you can do to their kingdom.

Don't ever be afraid of demons. Resist the devil and he will flee from you. Know whom Christ has made you and identify with your spiritual status. Rule and reign in this life says the word of life. Do not put yourself in any bondage again. Even if there are uncountable known witches and occultists in your hometown or any place where you are related, do not be afraid to proclaim your faith in Christ.

The occultists can do you nothing. If God be for us who can be against us? Be bold. This makes me wonder why some so called ministers prophecy to Christians telling them not to go to their villages because some witches and wizards are trying to attack them (especially in my country). This is not in line with the New covenant inheritance. The word of life says, "He that is in us is greater than he that is in the world!"

You are light! A city set on a hill that cannot be hidden!! Neither do men light a candle and put it under a bushel. Christ did not come into your life so that you can hide away in the city/town, then anytime you wanna visit your people in your hometaown/village, you sneak in at dusk, or midnight.

Be bold. The devil hates people that are bold and loves people that are ignorant. You are a royal child of the most High. He (God) lives in you. You are empowered to trample on snakes and scorpions and to overcome ALL the powers of the enemies (including the powers of witches, wizards, herbalist, enchanters, charmers, sorcerers, diviners etc) and Jesus promised, "nothing shall by any means hurt you. Luke 10:19. Be bold. Even the devil knows who you are. Amen

You are God's Righteousness through Christ, not by Works.

Sinners are sinners not because of what they do but because of the race from which they came. For ALL have sinned and have come short of the glory of God (Rom 3:23). The Word of Life says that through one man, sin entered the world, and everyone became sinners because of the first(one) man who sinned, Sinful race, Adam . Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:Romans 5:12 (KJV)
Therefore, either you have ever done sinful stuffs all your life or NOT, you are a sinner as long as you came through the one man by whom sin entered the world.

By another one man, those who believe on Him (Jesus Christ) become the righteousness of God (2Cor 5:21). So you are the Righteousness of God not because of what you do (act right) but because of the race from which you came, the RACE of RIGHTEOUSNESS. For if through the offence of one many be dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many. Romans 5:15 (KJV). Through faith in Jesus Christ, sinners become the RIGHTEOUSNESS of God in Christ, not because they acted right but because they received a GIFT. For if by one man's offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.)Romans 5:17 (KJV)

Having received righteousness as a gift, we need not try to maintain it by Works because we did not get it by works. In the first place,we received it by faith and we are to maintain it by faith. Just keep believing. Amen.
