SATAN THE NO. 1 LOSER

T

his world at this very stage is not complete without Satan, the devil.  He is the number one looser but keeps pretending that he has won a battle.  The vagabond is the cause of all the world’s predicaments right from the initial stage when he tempted Eve and caused both Adam and Eve to fall for sin, leading to their been chased out of the fully loaded and beautiful garden of Eden.  Satan is a fallen angel named Lucifer, the supreme spirit of evil, who for immeasurable time has ruled over a kingdom of evil spirits and is in constant opposition to God.  Satan (devil) is already condemned and destined for eternal hell of fire and brimstone.  Whoever does not receive Christ now and be born again will also join Satan in hell.  You and I will not be there in Jesus’ Name.

The Satan is man’s opponent and enemy.  He mis-leads unbelievers to wickedness and agony.  He is likened to a serpent and he is even named as one because of his cruelty and stubbornness.  When you talk of adversary, Satan is the chief adversary, for he is an opponent in conflict and contest in a battle which he has already lost.  Some active satanic organisations that exist today are small and are of recent origin. The most well-known, the Church of Satan, which was founded in 1966 in San Francisco, California, by American Anton Szandor LaVey, whose beliefs is essentially a form of hedonism (the principle that pleasure is the principal good). A group that grew from the Church of Satan, the Temple of Set, was founded in 1975 by American Michael Aquino and others. As of the mid-1990s, these two groups together had possibly a few hundred widely scattered members. As well, several smaller groups exist.

Temptation is what leads to sin, is a desire for something considered wrong. This is the major tool of Satan and he is a tempter.  Whenever he comes to tempt you, send him off in rebuke as Jesus did.  Satan is also an accuser because he confronts his victims with a charge of having done something wrong and undesirable.  He accuses believers before GOD at all times.

With all the above attributes of Satan, it is no doubt that he is wicked.  He is a thief and a destroyer.  Satan, the devil deceives those who are careless, making them to dis-obey God.  He is a vagabond and an impostor.  He poses to be for good, meanwhile he leads to the worst fall of any victim.  Many bad things cannot take place without lies.  Satan is the father of lies.  He is also a murder. So, beware and be aware.

One good thing is that Satan is already defeated.  Claim your right and victory over him now!  Remember, whoever commits sin is of the devil.  Put on the whole armour of GOD.  Resist Satan and he will flee from you.  As long as he does not rest, don’t give him any chance.
