God delivers us from the traps set by our adversaries.

 




He will deliver you from the snare of the fowler And from the deadly pestilence. Psalms 91:3 ESV

Firstly I want you to know, that all the traps of the enemy set against you will not succeed in the Name of Jesus.

You might think you are safe and have no protection issues, but the truth is that no one is without enemies, and our greatest enemy who hunts our souls every day is Satan. The Word of God says, "Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour." 1 Peter 5:8

One of God's great works for His children is to deliver them from all the traps of Satan. First, He saves us from entering those traps, but even when we fail and get caught in these traps, He is the one who rescues us.

Today, I want you to know the three main areas where the enemy sets traps for God's children.
1. Spiritual: God is protecting you from being ensnared by traps set in the spiritual realm, the traps set by Satan himself or wicked people using dark and magical forces to attack and harm you. David spoke of these in Psalm 18:5 where he said; "The cords of Sheol surrounded me; The snares of death confronted me.”
2. Temptations: Traps of being influenced by your own desires. There are times when your own emotions or desires lead you into trouble. The Word says, "But each person is tempted when he is lured and enticed by his own desire. Then desire when it has conceived gives birth to sin, and sin when it is fully grown brings forth death." James 1:14-15

3. Your own Words: Some people are waiting for you to make a mistake in your words so they can use them against you and sometimes they may even come to you asking you things to make you say some things they can use against you. The Word of God says, "You are snared by the words of your mouth; You are taken by the words of your mouth." Proverbs 6:2

You need God's protection at all times, but you also need to take precautions so you won't fall into these traps. And whenever you face challenges or fall into these traps, don't hesitate to turn to God and pray.

Prayer: I lift up my eyes to the hills. From where does my help come? My help comes from the LORD, who made heaven and earth. He will not let my foot be moved; he who keeps me will not slumber. Behold, he who keeps Israel will neither slumber nor sleep. The LORD is my keeper; the LORD is my shade on my right hand. The sun shall not strike me by day, nor the moon by night. The LORD will keep me from all evil; he will keep my life. The LORD will keep my going out and my coming in from this time forth and forevermore. Amen.

THE TIME TO RECEIVE THE FRUITS OF YOUR LABOUR IS NOW

  “Say to the righteous that it shall be well with them, For they shall eat the fruit of their doings. Isaiah 3:10 NKJV This is a powerful word of hope as you begin this month.

THE WISEST THING TO DO IN YOUR LIFE

  Daniel 12:3 (GNT) says, “The wise leaders will shine with all the brightness of the sky. And those who have taught many people to do what is right will shine like the stars forever.” This verse speaks about the reward God will give His faithful people on the last day. Those who live with wisdom and lead others to righteousness will shine like stars in the sky—forever. What a powerful promise! Today, I want to teach you how to be wise so you can receive this reward. The Bible says in James 1:5 (NKJV), “If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God...”  This means wisdom comes from God, and He is willing to give it to anyone who asks. When you receive God’s wisdom, you will learn how to live the right way and make decisions that please Him. You will also have the power to guide others. The wisest thing you can ever do in life is to preach the Gospel—to help people turn away from sin and accept Jesus Christ. That is the kind of wisdom that brings eternal rewards. Also, if you ...

DO NOT COMPARE YOURSELF TO OTHERS

  "I know what it is to be poor or to have plenty, and I have lived under all kinds of conditions. I know what it means to be full or to be hungry, to have too much or too little. Philippians 4:12 CEV" God’s purpose for humankind is for everyone to succeed, but each person has their own season. Just as each flower blooms in its own time, each of us has a time set by God. When that season comes, God will make you prosper. Until then, keep praying and working hard, trusting in His timing. When you look at your peers, former classmates, family members, or others in your age group and see their success, it’s easy to start comparing. Maybe a friend just built a new house or got a high-paying job, or perhaps someone you know is getting married. If you feel like you’ve achieved more, you may feel good about yourself. But if you feel like you’re still “behind,” it’s easy to feel discouraged and inadequate. This is where your perspective can become distorted. Some people think they ar...
