S- 1 Peter 5:8-9 Be
alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion
looking for someone to devour. Resist him, standing firm in the faith, because
you know that the family of believers throughout the world is undergoing the
same kind of sufferings.
O – Alert and sober, resist devil by standing firm in faith.
A – It seems like that the world has become a play ground of
the devil with wars, rapes, cancers, thefts, hatred, jealousy, back biting,
same gender marriages, ISIS etc. The devil is desperately trying to distract
the people from the Lord and feeding them on the lies that, if God existed,
these miseries would not happen. He needs to be resisted!!! We can resist him
and his lies by standing firm on the faith. How can we stand firm on the faith?
It is only by resting our faith on the word of God and His promises. When we go
through a crisis we should not corner ourselves thinking that this is only
happening to us but understand that other believers are also undergoing the same
phase.
P – Mighty heavenly father, how precious are your promises
in the word? That you will never leave us or forsake us and that all things
happen for the good of those who love you. We trust you father, with all the anxieties
that we are going through. We submit them to you father. We need not worry
because we have handed our troubles to a heavenly father who holds the universe
in His hands. Help us to never forget who you are!!! Enable us to resist the
devil and always meditate upon your word to make us stand strong in our faith.
In Jesus Precious name I pray
AMEN
