READ:
ISAIAH 14:12-17
Satan is a
diabolical being. We all detest him. However, it is important to know that he
was once an anointed angel. He occupied a glorious position before he fell. The
devil’s fall fro stardom should be a great lesson for us. We, too, stand the
risk of using what God has endowed us with to fight against Him. Once you know
that it is possible to convert blessings of God into an instrument of war
against Him, you will have to make a choice between departing from the living
God or remaining in his camp through thick and thin. Learn a lesson from
Satan’s fall. God created Satan as the most beautiful angel, built a pipe organ
into his body and dressed him up in many different beautiful stones. God even
anointed him and made him stand behind His throne. God also made him a
choirmaster. Pride made him to want to be higher than God. It was then God
decided to reduce him to nothing. There are many today who are endowed with
beauty but who have turned this into a curse. Some can sing well but pride has
turned this into a curse for them. A lot of people are blessed with brilliance
but, rather than use this to the glory of God, they are busy claiming there is
no God. How can you preserve your blessing? How can you keep what is good? The
bible says, “Yet the righteous will hold to his way, and he who has clean hands will
be stronger and stronger.” (Job 17:9). Anyone seeking to do the will of
God must remain holy, humble and ever ready to serve the Lord anytime. Such a
fellow will get better and stronger; he will prosper and go from victory to
victory. You can choose to do the will of God forever, irrespective of whatever
position you find yourself, or you may decide to turn your back against God.
The choice is yours today.
MEMORIZE:
JOB 17:9 – Yet the righteous will hold to his way, and he who has clean hands
will be stronger and stronger.
