The seed that fell among thorns stands for those who hear, but as they go on their way they are choked by life' worries, riches, and pleasures and they do not mature. Luke 5:14
God' word to us is as valid as a cheque already cashed when we hold onto it with everything we’ve got.
The scripture made it clear that His promises are yes, and they are amen (certain).
The devil is fully aware of this that is why he would stop at nothing until he gets you to quit holding on to God' promises for your life.
We must realize that challenges are part of the Christian walk.
They are there not because we’re too weak, or because of what we have failed to do, but simply because of the fact that the devil is afraid of us.
Our presence reminds him of his defeat and his future in hell.
This is why he is trying to stop us by bringing into our space so many distractions.
Instead of quitting on your big dreams with God because someone is afraid of you, why not call a party and celebrate it.
He did it with Adam at the Garden of Eden and succeeded in dislodging him of his inheritance in God.
Until he showed up at the garden, Adam had no worries about being as wise as God.
Eve never had to stress about where their next meal is coming from. The couple was so busy enjoying God's presence that they had no need for anything.
They were living in the fulfillment of God's promises until they allowed the ideas of the devil to choke the very word spoken to them by God.
Although the devil is out to get us, he will never be able to unless we let down our security system (God's word to us).
Oh! How I love the scripture in Proverb 18:10.
The name of the LORD is a strong tower ... .
The devil cannot get a child of God unless he first get him / her out of God's presence.
As long as we remain in His presence it doesn’t matter how low we may be feeling we will never know failure.
Refuse to be moved, and keep pressing into His presence by reminding yourself of His word concerning you.
Come to think of it, the devil is not as persistent as most people think he is. If he is, he could have tempted Jesus for the fourth time.
Unlike Jesus, Adam was only tempted once, and down he went.
If you want to know how impatient the devil is, try and remind him of his future at least three times every time he tries to distract you with thoughts and challenges that are capable of choking God's word to you.
Dear friends, in this race Jesus emptied our lives of every possible excuses we had.
We no longer have reasons to quit on Him, His call and plans for our lives.
I think this is a good time to get the party started. Sing unto Him a new song. Show Him your new dancing step.
He is worthy of all our praise
