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.
