(Luke 15:17-24, Numbers 22:21-41, Psalms 51)
The devil is already under the condemnation caused by self-destruction. Every moment, he lured people into this same journey. Even though the Holy Spirit cries out, many still get lured into self-destruction by the devil. Self-destruction is usually the devil deceiving humans to misuse their God-given wisdom, intelligence, boldness, blessings, successes, gifts, etc for personal gains against God’s purpose. As the devil convinces and pushes many to manipulate situations to their own benefit against God’s purpose, he makes it look like the end is going to be a sweet benefit. Most times, he makes his victims see other people as enemies or hindrances. Meanwhile, whoever embarks on this journey with the devil primarily has only one enemy to compete with – himself/herself. Invariably, such a person is the enemy of himself or herself. He/she is just the devil’s victim. Brethren, watch and pray, humble yourself before the Lord, beware of the devil’s deceit and devices. Watch and pray against the deceit and spirit of self-destruction. Do not be the devil’s next victim of self-destruction. Let Jesus remain the Lord of your desires! May the Lord bless His word in our hearts richly, in Jesus name.
