Avoiding Satan’s Snares


IOI CHRISTIAN MORNING MEAL

TOPIC: Avoiding Satan’s Snares

Text: 1 Peter 5:8 “Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:”

Who better than Peter would know about the prowlings of Satan! Several times Jesus warned Peter that Satan was after him, but he failed to heed the warning. Too many Christians have “gone to sleep,” opening the way for Satan to work.

Don’t Stray
“Before I was afflicted I went astray: but now have I kept thy word.” Ps. 119:67

A. Christians sometime neglect their prayer life, and they fail to study God’s Word as they should. When they do this they begin to stray.

B. Some lack the courage to say no to non-Christian friends. They yield to the old life and become victims of Satan’s snares.

C. We must guard our devotional life diligently, drawing near to God daily. We must take our stand boldly for God, staying away from Satan’s territory.

James 4:7,8 “Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. 8Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded.”

All am reminding you this morning is to be vigilant and don't allow devil to ensnare you.
please don't stray away, the mighty are falling and many people love for the Lord is getting cold, hold fast to your faith, be strong in the lord, it shall be well with you

LET US PRAY
FATHER IN JESUS NAME, KEEP ME IN BURNING FOR YOU AND KEEP ME FROM FALLING IN JESUS NAME

Share this meal
Good morning friends
