FRESH FIRE DAILY DEVOTIONAL
MONDAY 22 MAY, 2023
FOCUS: You As A Kingdom Representative
APPLIED SCRIPTURE: 1 John 3:8
MEMORY VERSE: 1 John 3:8
But if you keep on sinning, it shows that you belong to Satan, who since he first began to sin has kept steadily at it. But the Son of God came to destroy these works of the devil.
STUDY TEXT: Romans 6:16-18
Don’t you realize that you can choose your own master? You can choose sin (with death) or else obedience (with acquittal). The one to whom you offer yourself—he will take you and be your master, and you will be his slave. Thank God that though you once chose to be slaves of sin, now you have obeyed with all your heart the teaching to which God has committed you. And now you are free from your old master, sin; and you have become slaves to your new master, righteousness.
[The Living Bible (TLB)]
EXHORTATION
There are two principal spiritual forces that determine the courses of events on the face of the earth. One is “The Forces of Good” with the Head Spirit being God Almighty, the Creator of the heavens and the earth, and they contain. The other is “The Forces of Evil” with Satan as the Lead Spirit. Each group is made up of billions of spirit beings with varying powers and capabilities together with different assigned roles. The two classes of forces are in an on-going contention for the souls of human beings, whom they desire to influence to cooperate with them in ensuring that the earth is ruled according to their will, desires and expectations. God has a healthy interest in you as His creation, and Satan too is equally interested in you as his possible victim. As humans, we are a unique set of beings in the entire cosmos.
These two spirit personalities, God Almighty and Satan, otherwise known as the Devil, are very much interested in us because the planet earth was fashioned by God to be ruled as it is by human beings. The Scriptures say in Psalm 115:16, “The heavens belong to the Lord, but He has given the earth to all mankind. - [The Living Bible (TLB)].” The truth of Psalm 115:16 is that the earth exists as a kind of colony of the Kingdom of God, Who planned it to be ruled in accordance with the laws and culture of Heaven. We are the rulers of this part of creation. That is how God has ordained it to be in His infinite wisdom. And as such, nothing can happen here on earth without the active cooperation of man, whether the initiative is coming from God or it is sponsored by Satan. God needs human beings to be able to carry out His plans on earth, and Mr. Satan too needs us to achieve his purposes on earth. You and I are a special species indeed!
Everybody on the earth is an agent of either God or Satan. Some are aware of this fact, and the good majority of the tenants on earth are sadly ignorant of this vital spiritual information. As a result, millions of people are unconscious representatives of either of the Kingdoms, the Kingdom of Light and the Kingdom of Darkness. Those who are keenly aware of this fact of life and are prepared to maximize the opportunities it offers them, seek to engage the supernatural beings for empowerment, guidance, fortification, protection, commission (appointment), and so on. Anyone who claims that the supernatural world is a figment of human imagination is a big fool.
Some men and women, who are keenly aware of the place of partnership between humans and spirit beings for the administration of the earth, are usually endowed with extraordinary capabilities by their patron-spirits to be able to act effectively for them among their fellow human beings. This explains why there are millions of spiritual leaders on the face of the earth. A good number of them are what they claim they are: men and women with extra-terrestrial powers! Though there are charlatans and impostors, but the fact remains there are people with authentic supernatural powers! There are priests and priestesses of God, and there are priests and priestesses of Satan. Those on the side of God do good things, but those ones representing Satan, oh mine, do bad things to other fellow human beings to actualize Satan’s rabid hatred for man whom God loves dearly!
You need to understand that you or anyone associated with you may be a target of these commissioned agents of Satan. You need to be all out for God to be able to checkmate their activities, and make them powerless over your life as well as the lives of those who are dear to your heart. You cannot afford to be neutral; there is no neutrality in the hot battle going on between the Forces of Good and the Forces of Evil. You are either an actor or a victim; a survivor or a casualty; free or enslaved; liberated or captured! Ponder on your spiritual realities. I seriously counsel that you take steps to be an active and conscious agent of the Kingdom of Light on the earth. It is time you started engaging your Maker in relevant conversations.
PRAYER POINT: Heavenly Father, I desire to know You better. Please reveal Yourself to me, and use me to achieve Your purposes on earth in the Name of Jesus!
Stay blessed!
“IT IS POSSIBLE!”
