Your Devotional Message for 20th December
Scripture:
He frustrates the devices of the crafty, so that their hands cannot carry out their plans (Job 5:12).
Explanation:
There are good and evil in this world. As most things in life have root in the spirit, likewise it is important to identify and take cognizance of the devices of the devil. These devices are also referred to as devil’s schemes, weapons, instruments, and wiles. You must be very prudent to discern the works of devil in your life and those around you. The knowledge of God is crucial and will determine the quality of your life. Stay Tune!
In Today Daily Meditation, day 20 of 30 days we will do a further expose on our new series called ‘Victory in Christ Jesus’overthe devices of the enemy.The purpose of this series is to gain and apply the knowledge of the Victory purchasedby the Lord Jesus Christ.But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ (1 Corinthians 15:57). We will meditate on scriptures on the victory in Christ Jesusover the schemes of the devil.
The scripture is clear that “The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked; Who can know it? (Jeremiah 17:9).Paul warns the Corinthians not to be ignorant of Satan’s devices because he might take advantage of their ignorance. Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices (2 Corinthians 2:11). What are these devices? They are many of the devices in the scriptures. These may include: unforgiveness, iniquities, reproach, accusations, hinderances, delay, oppression, and afflictions. They devise iniquities: “We have perfected a shrewd scheme.” Both the inward thought and the heart of man are deep (Psalm 64:6).
But thanks be to God because:
He frustrates the devices of the crafty, so that their hands cannot carry out their plans (Job 5:12). Devil is the master of craftiness and evil.
Here are ample of the other scriptures expounding on the Victory and authority over the schemes of the devil:
Also, the schemes of the schemer are evil; He devises wicked plans to destroy the poor with lying words, even when the needy speaks justice (Isaiah 32:7).
Rest in the Lord and wait patiently for Him; Do not fret because of him who prospers in his way, Because of the man who brings wicked schemes to pass (Psalm 37:7).
He who sins is of the devil, for the devil has sinned from the beginning. For this purpose, the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil (1 John 3:8).
Finally, it is important to declare and command the devices of the enemies to be destroyed by the Fire of the Holy Ghost in the name of Jesus Christ.
Have you received Jesus Christ as your Lord and saviour?
Today, let me challenge you that Jesus Christ has paid the price and wants you to be his disciple. If you are yet to receive Christ, do so today by repenting from all your sins and accept Jesus Christas Your Lord and saviour.
Thanks be to God for His fullness, grace and His victory. Glory be to God!
In the Month of December 2021, do not miss any day as we meditate on ‘Victory in Christ Jesus’
Faith Confession of the Month:
Our Father, thank you, for another day. I shall be glad and rejoice in You. Thank you for salvation, divine health, grace and glory, provision, protection, and supernatural ability at work in me. And I declare boldly that I am aglow and strong in the spirit, filled with wisdom of God; and the grace of God is upon me (Luke 2:40). The Holy Spirit is my Senior Partner. I operate in the Higher dimension of the spirit through the Word of God and the Power of the Holy Spirit. I have victoried every day of my life.
I operate with the great grace and Mighty Power of God for His great works – Healings, miracles, signs, and wonders. The word of God is in my mouth and as I meditate, it permeates to the deep part of my Spirit, soul, and body. I am manifesting the great power of God. It is written, “And my speech and my preaching were not with persuasive words of human wisdom, but in the demonstration of the Spirit and of power” (1 Corinthians 2:4). Behold, I receive the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt me (Luke 10:19). I rule over Satan and his cohort of darkness with the Fire of the Holy Ghost. I prosper in my spirit, soul, and body. My life is flourishing in all areas of life as well as my health even as my soul prospers. Success, wealth, financial abundance and victory are mine in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Glory be to God!

Truly, this only I have found: That God made man upright, but they have sought out many schemes” (Ecclesiastes 7:29).
