READ: ACTS
12:1-23
The devil
usually attacks what is good. He does not waste his time on trivialities. If
there is any good thing in your life, the enemy will try to attack it. Today, I
want us to take a look at the spiritual significance of the head. The enemy
knows the importance of the head. You can have a replacement of the parts of
the body through physical surgery or miracles, but when the head is cut off,
the story is ended. If there is anything the devil is aiming at, it is the
head. This is why wives must pray for their husbands, for the husband is the
head of the wife. Besides, the head has peculiar features that have spiritual
significance. The eyes are for vision. Proverbs 29:18 says, “Where
there is no revelation, the people cast off restraint.” When the
enemies got Samson, it was his eyes they first took. Do not let the devil take
your eyes off Jesus. When Peter took his eyes away from Jesus Christ, he began
to sink. The ears are important too. The devil will always want to block your
ears because he knows what is in Romans 10:17: “So then faith comes by hearing,
and by hearing the word of God.” The tongue is for speech and the devil
would try hard to hinder you from calling the name of Jesus. The devil knows
that, according to Romans 10:9, if you confess the Lord Jesus Christ, you shall
be saved. The devil knows that, at the name of Jesus, every knee must bow. He
knows that Jesus said we would get whatever we ask in His name. The nose is
another part of the head. In Genesis 2:7, after the Lord formed man from the
dust of the earth, He breathed into man’s nostrils and man became a living
soul. Also, in John 20:21-22, when the disciples were gathered in a room and
the door was locked, Jesus came in and breathed into them to receive the Holy
Ghost. It is clear, therefore, that the head is very important. 1 Corinthians
11:3 says, “But I want you to know that the head of every man is Christ, the head
of woman is man, and the head of Christ is God.” Your head is the
symbol of our God. The enemy will try as much as possible to separate you from
Jesus Christ. Jesus has however promised never to leave or forsake you. The
devil may try but he will never succeed in taking your head away. Jesus is your
head. He will remain with you.
MEMORIZE:
EPHESIANS 5:23 –For the husband is head of the wife, as also Christ is head of
the church; and He is the Savior of the body.
