*DAILY DEW 4/MAY/2023* *Destroying The Works of The Devil* _Key Bible Text:_ *"Then said David to the Philistine, Thou comest to me with a sword, and with a spear, and with a shield: but I come to thee in the name of the LORD of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom thou hast defied."* (1 Samuel 17:45 (KJV)) _Bible Insight:_ David had a simple task to do-- just deliver food to your siblings at the battle front and come back. However, he got there, delivered the food, and picked a far greater bigger task for himself-- to kill Goliath who had threatened a whole nation and its entire defense force for 40 days. What motivated David? David would not allow the devil or his minions (presented as the Philistines) to come mess up the people of God, and by extension the glory of God. Like David, and even far more, Jesus went about destroying the works of the devil, who has been threatening and messing up the lives of so many people. In one case He had to suspend the laws of sabbath, to heal a woman who the devil has kept bound for years. Luke 13:16 (KJV) captured his response:- *"And ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan hath bound, lo, these eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on the sabbath day?"* In closing, I share the views of my brother, David O. Alabi:- _"Many people live their lives in fear of the devil. He is the one pursuing, while they are on the run. He's the one making all the trouble, while they are wailing and mourning. But in Christ, the story is different._ _Jesus went about doing good, and HEALING ALL WHO WERE OPPRESSED OF THE DEVIL. He was the One chasing the devil, and not the other way round! He was searching everywhere to see how much trouble he could cause for the devil._ _How much trouble are you causing for Satan today? Oya go out in faith, preach the Word, heal the sick, cast out devils. The time is short, so let's go make a lot of trouble for the devil, and rescue his captives."_ _MEDITATION:_ *"He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil."* 1 John 3:8 (KJV) *#David_Joshua_Egbochuo* *#Daily_Wisdom_for_living* *#Becoming_More_Like_Jesus* *#The_Rise_of_An_Army* *#Daily_Dew_Devotional* *#Hello_MAY,2023* ❤ Links To Visit: *FB Pages* https://www.facebook.com/DavidJoshuaEgbochuo/ https://www.facebook.com/thedavidgen/ https://www.facebook.com/THEREVIVALCORPS/ *Telegram Group:* https://t.me/joinchat/NzXQlVc9Hx7LfaRSnh9fHg Feel Free to Share with Friends.
