SATAN’S INTENT TO MAKE YOU A WASTE

Post date: May 2, 2016 9:45:22 PM

“Simon, Simon Peter, listen, Satan has demanded permission to sift all of you like grain; but I have prayed especially for you Peter, that your faith and confidence in Me may not fail; and you, once you have turned back again to Me, strengthen and support your brothers in the faith. And Peter said to Him, Lord, I am ready to go with You both to prison and to death. Jesus said, I say to you, Peter, before the rooster crows today, you will utterly deny three times that you know Me.” Luke 22:31-34. Irrespective of the ways and manners that Satan is using tempt you, he has the ultimate intent to make you a waste and render you ineffective even in the very things you are well trained and qualified to do in life. Because he cannot steal, kill or destroy those washed and preserved by the precious blood of Jesus Christ, Satan’s next and only intent in the lives of the children of the living God is to turn them into a waste and render them insignificant on earth; he wants to turn them into a waste in their professions and among their professional colleagues; make them a waste in their respective locations, in their individual churches, and in their nations despising the Lord Jesus Christ whom they believe and follow diligently openly for the world to ridicule and laugh at them; but through the grace of God, the prayers of Jesus Christ for all His children, Satan will not succeed because of the name of our Lord, the blood that was shed at Calvary and the name that had been given to us by the father Almighty.

To succeed in wasting our lives, Satan uses several devices; in several ways; in several places, all for just one purpose, make us a waste despite our great talents, qualifications, abilities, insights, visions, and courage. Satan want to waste the talents that God had freely given you; he want to waste God’s magnificent gift in you; he want to waste God’s divine knowledge that you have; he want to waste your understandings of spiritual and physical things; he want to waste your dreams and visions that have the power to change not only you but families and nations; he want to waste your ability, and in doing so he want to waste your life. He comes along with failures that cause frustrations and depression; anger that causes hate, disappointments that causes discouragement; weaknesses that causes lack of interest and zeal; fear that causes withdrawal; uncertainties that causes doubts; shame that causes inner bitterness; trouble that causes resentment of things that are good; sorrows that causes wickedness to remain; self-pity that causes self-rejection; delays that causes regrets; lies that causes bitterness, cries for revenge and retaliation; he comes with bad words and gossips that frighten your own soul; he comes with groups of evil witnesses to accuse and turn your good intent against you; he comes with lack to destroy your home, family, and relationship; he comes to cause you to make a mistake that will take away your job and joy. He comes with temptations that will be difficult for you to overcome; he comes to remind you of your sins that had been forgiven so you will live in constant guilt and regrets. He comes to show you how weak to provoke your strength; he comes to remind you that you have a mistake, you will never over that mistake and you will die in that mistake, but he will fail.

He instigated Cain to kill Abel and caused him to live the rest of his life in hungry; he magnified hunger in the life of Esau so he can sell his birthright and live the rest of his life in regret. He wanted to turn the womb of Sarah, Hannah, Elizabeth into a waste but God prevent him; he wanted to instigate Job to cause God through the destruction of his family, wealth, and business so that he can mock God, but failed. He wanted to make Jabez a waste despite his knowledge of the god who can change destinies and give perfect health, but he fails; he wanted to turn Peter and the other disciples of Jesus Christ into a laughing stock and make them a public disgrace after they arrested Christ, but Christ had prayed for their restoration and continuous unity. Satan wants to make you and the things that God had given to you a waste, but God whom we call daily in truth and in spirit will not allow him to succeed. Click here to submit prayer request
