BE NUMBERED AMONG THE UNDEVOURABLE
1 Peter 5:8 Be sober,
be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion,
seeking whom he may devour.
The devil cannot just walk right up to you and rob you of
your health, peace or family. He cannot just come into your life to enforce
disease and destruction.
If the devil can do that, then he does not have to walk
about “seeking whom he may devour.” He only has to walk straight up to anyone
he wants to devour and devour him! But since the Bible says that he goes about
seeking whom he may devour, the truth then is that there are people whom he
cannot devour.
You see, the devil goes about like a roaring lion trying to
stir up fear in people with his roars. But the people who are not devourable
are those who refuse to be intimidated by his roars because they know that the
true Lion of Judah, Jesus Christ (see Revelation 5:5), has already come and
rendered powerless him who had the power of death (see Hebrews 2:14, NASB).
They know that the devil cannot just do anything to them because the Lion of
Judah resides in them, and that He is greater than the devil who is in the
world (see 1 John 4:4).
My friend, the Lion of Judah is in you. He has given you
rights, privileges, authority and power. He redeemed you with His blood.
Therefore, everything about you and your life is redeemed by His blood. So if
you are fearful about losing your job, cover your job with the blood of Jesus.
If you are worried about your children’s safety in these days of terrorist
attacks, plead the blood of Jesus over them. If you have received a bad report
from the doctor, speak the blood over yourself.
Whatever you have covered with the blood of Jesus, God
declares, “Protected! Redeemed!” And the devil flees when he sees the blood.
And when he flees, he takes with him sicknesses, diseases, pains, sufferings,
destruction and loss.
Once the devil knows that you know who you are in Christ and
what you have in Him, his days of intimidating you are over, and you are
numbered among the undevourable!
AMEN! Know who you are IN HIM! Know what you have IN HIM! Know what you can do IN HIM! THEN the enemy can never devour YOU! Here is Hillsong with "Not Today":Shalom in Him!
