*TOPIC: MESS UP THE DEVIL.*(Series 4) *Scripture Reading:* Revelation 12:9 *"And the great dragon was thrown down, the age-old serpent who is called the devil and Satan, he who continually deceives and seduces the entire inhabited world; he was thrown down to the earth, and his angels were thrown down with him."*(AMP) Great is the Lord and greatly is to be praised, for another gift of life. I welcome you to another glorious week of great change in your life and all yours in Jesus Christ name. Amen! Continuation from where we stopped yesterday: *2) Deceiver of the world:* Devil, Satan, our first enemy, the dragon has take it upon himself to deceive the whole world with his trick. Matthew 24:23-26 declared; *"Then if anyone says to you [during the great tribulation], ‘Look! Here is the Christ,’ or ‘There He is,’ do not believe it. For false Christs and false prophets will appear and they will provide great signs and wonders, so as to deceive, if possible, even the elect (God’s chosen ones). Listen carefully, I have told you in advance. So if they say to you, ‘Look! He is in the wilderness,’ do not go out there, or, ‘Look! He is in the inner rooms [of a house],’ do not believe it."*(AMP) Note the word *"If possible, even the elect (God's chosen ones)"* Will be deceived. Meaning, even Prophets, pastors, evangelists, apostles and teachers may fall to the victim. I told you yesterday that the devil's professional work is to lie. So, to deceive is his mission. *That's why if you see some so called men of God trying to help God's work by seeking help from Egypt have been deceived already and they will be quoting scriptures to backup their deeds.* Today, we see pastors beating their wives, we see wives of ministers in adultery and we see Minister's children in a waywardness lifestyle. Many believers has fall to this trick of the devil by deceiving them not to know the truth. The Lord will rescue the church in this last day in Jesus Christ name. Amen! To be continue tomorrow morning by God's Grace. Good morning and do have a fruitful week, peace. *Prayer point:* Father, help me not to fall to the deceit of the devil. Guide me by your word in Jesus Christ name. Amen! T.S. AFOLAYAN
