MY DAD AND I
Do
you have little kids that disturbs like me when I was little? I will be
shouting and Dad would say, ‘will you keep quiet?’ and I will be quiet for like
five minutes and suddenly I will start playing will things that causes loud noise and Dad would collect the things from me and say ‘cant you stay quiet for
a while?’. I will be quiet for another while and next thing is, my elder sister
and I sister would start fighting, at this point, my father would send us to
bed. Its not until he has sent us to bed, he won’t have his peace.
This
was just what the devil was doing to Christ in Matthew 4.
Jesus
said unto him, It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God. Again, the devil taketh him up into an
exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the
glory of them; And saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou
wilt fall down and worship me. Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence,
Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only
shalt thou serve. Then the devil leaveth him, and, behold, angels came and
ministered unto him. Matt. 4: 7-11
The
devil tempted Christ first time, Christ countered it, he tempted again, Christ
reminded him ‘thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God’, but the devil would
easily forget that and tempted Christ again, and Christ said ‘get thee hence
satan’. Not until Christ pursued the devil, the devil continued to disturb him,
yes, if you don’t pursue the devil to where he belongs (under your feet), he
will keep attacking you. If you overcome him in this, he will come up with that
and if you overcome him in that, he will come up with another and so on. But if
you can like Christ pursue him out of your life, and place in behind you and
under your feet, he will leave never to return.
The
devil never disturbed Christ again after that rebuke to get behind, will you
rebuke the devil today and send him packing out of your life and get him behind
today?
God
bless you.
