*TOPIC: MESS UP THE DEVIL.*(Series 10) *Scripture Reading:* Ephesians 6:11-12 *"Put on the full armor of God [for His precepts are like the splendid armor of a heavily-armed soldier], so that you may be able to [successfully] stand up against all the schemes and the strategies and the deceits of the devil. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood [contending only with physical opponents], but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this [present] darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly (supernatural) places."*(AMP) I welcome you to the last Sunday in May. Thank God for His unmeasurable Grace and mercy we receive daily, His name be Praise forever in Jesus Christ name. Amen! *2) Living a life of obedience:* Our greatest enemy, the devil is always looking for way to gain entry into our lives and as children of the most high God, obeying God's instructions is the best weapon to mess up the devil. We must use the weapons of warfare God has given us to resist him (see Ephesians 6:10-18). *But it is likewise essential that we diligently keep watch over our lives on a sustained and continual basis, looking for any doors we may have left open that would make it easier for the enemy to find entrance.* One thing is certain, Living a life of obedience, shuts doors and makes it more difficult for the devil to find entry into our lives. On the other hand, we must also acknowledge that if we are living in disobedience in any area, those areas may become the very entry points by which the devil gains access to disturb our peace and to try to stop our forward momentum and even bring destruction in our lives. *"With all prayer and petition pray [with specific requests] at all times [on every occasion and in every season] in the Spirit, and with this in view, stay alert with all perseverance and petition [interceding in prayer] for all God’s people."*(Ephesians 6:18 AMP). Apostle Paul encourage us as believers not to be slack in everything, pray at all time, be sensitive at all time. *Don't be ignorant of the devices of the devil, be obedient to His divine instructions.* To be continue tomorrow morning by God's Grace. Good morning and happy Sunday, peace. *Prayer point:* Father, baptize me with the spirit of obedience. Help me to always live in accordance to your instructions in Jesus Christ name. Amen! T.S.
