DCLM Daily Manna, Thursday September 24, 2015 by Pastor Kumuyi – Under Our Feet
Topic: Under Our Feet [Thursday September 24, 2015]
Text: Revelation 17:9-14
Key Verse: “These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful” (Revelation 17:14).
The rash of scary problems all over the world indicates the imminence of the end of this world and revelation of Jesus as King of kings and Lord of lords. The battle lines are drawn, and the greatest confrontation in the history of this world is about to begin.
The Antichrist and false prophets have gathered armies to wage war against Christ and His saints. In their pride and self-will, they prepare to fight against their Creator. But they shall be destroyed beyond recovery. Although the Bible presents the world as estranged from God and seized by Satan, Christians must wage continual warfare against him and his cohorts.
One of Christ’s purposes for coming to the world was to bind Satan and set at liberty those enslaved by him. Christians have dominion over evil powers because Christ has given us power and authority to cast out devils. He says, “In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover” (Mark 16:17,18).
We can experience all-round victory through faith in Christ who died for us on the Cross. As Christians, we should be confident that Christ won the final victory for us and He is in control of everything. He declared: “All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth”. He has triumphed over sin, Satan, affliction, oppression, sickness and poverty. As you believe today, victory is sure and you shall continue to live a victorious Christian life by abiding continually in the Lord and His word.
Thought for the day: Through Jesus, the accuser of the brethren is forever defeatedThrough Jesus, the accuser of the brethren is forever defeated
