To be a super successful believer in life, you must learn how to handle two things: God’s word and the devil’s lies. We have heard a lot about handling God’s word especially in the area of obedience however, many believers cower with their tails between their legs whenever they are confronted with the devil’s lies. We cannot thrive in the things of God and live purposefully if we don’t put the devil in his place.
We have to get it right. John 8:44 makes us understand that the devil is the father of lies and there is no truth in him. Words usually originate from two original sources – God or the devil. Therefore, when confronted with any message, you would do good to always ask the question – whose words are these? If the devil sends lies to you via any agent or medium, then you must rejoice because the opposite of what he says is in your life or is coming to your life … just because he can never say the truth.
If he says – you are good for nothing; then it means you are good for something – something really great! If he says you won’t make it in life because of your background, rejoice because it means you have a unique combination of experiences and exposure that God will use to make you excel and live purposefully. If he says money is all you need in life to excel; then you should know that you don’t need to be a slave of money and God is all you need. If he says it is not possible to be successful in business in your country without being corrupt, then rejoice and remain upright because God is about to show the world a successful business man or woman that excelled without using underhanded means.
Are you downhearted because of what the devil has said about your health, ministry, marriage, career or life in general? Get fired up today because they are all lies. Believe God’s report about who you are. Constantly edify yourself with God’s Word and remain focused.
