The weapon that cannot fail
(Matt 4:3-11 [KJV])And when the tempter came to him, he said, If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread.
But he answered and said, IT IS WRITTEN, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.
Then the devil taketh him up into the holy city, and setteth him on a pinnacle of the temple,
And saith unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning thee: and in [their] hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone.
Jesus said unto him, IT IS WRITTEN again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.
Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them
And saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me.
Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: FOR IT IS WRITTEN, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.
Then the devil leaveth him, and, behold, angels came and ministered unto him.
(Heb 4:12 [KJV])
For the word of God [is] quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and [is] a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
(Eph 6:17 [KJV])
… and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:
The Word of God (sword of the spirit) is the weapon that cannot fail.
Our Arch-enemy (Satan) cannot be overcome by human wisdom, knowledge or inventions. We cannot overcome him the human tricks, latest machine Gun, or nuclear weapon.
The only way to overcome is by applying the Word of God. It is not wise answering Satan with our wisdom, knowledge or philosophies, he has more experience than man. He had been before man was created
Jesus (All wise God & creator of all things – John 1:3) set an example for us - When the devil tempted Jesus, Jesus never replied by sense knowledge he only gave him the Word of God (Scriptures), saying, "It is written... It is written... It is written..." (Matthew 4:4, 7, 10)
This weapon of the Word of God does not fail.
The weapon of human wisdom will fail
The weapon of human power will fail
The weapon of human inventions will fail (Satan is not afraid of atomic bombs)
But the WORD OF GOD cannot fail.
Today we have heard a lot of philosophies and techniques that people use today to try to overcome Satan, unfortunately some believers also join in it.
Somebody once told me
Anytime I have a problem if I can wake up and drink my first urine, that problem is Gone.
This is not scriptural so I won’t do it
Another told me that anytime he is sick only I can kneel down in front of a refuse dump, he will be whole.
This is also not scriptural
One told me that if he wakes up in the morning and his legs hit a stone, it means the day will be bad.
Another says he predicts his future & days using (horoscope).
This is forbidden by God and not scriptural. But the path of the righteous is like the bright morning light, growing brighter and brighter until full day (Prov 4:18 - NET). Your future is in JESUS not in any HOROR-SCOPE
Some people have gone has far as saying the bible is not complete. They say “the 66 books are just part”. They have resulted to using charms and magic, saying it is in the lost books of the bible.
This is a big lie!
Most of the people using these, I have seen haven’t come out from their problems; in fact, they have added problems to their problems. The devil has deceived them.
The only effective weapon is the Word of God. The word of God is effective at all times, seasons and places. It is not confined to any geographical location. Anything outside the Word of God (scriptures) is not capable of defeating the devil.
I encourage people to read the bible and not to miss their bible study.
Brethren, I want to let us know that the word of God is very potent (effective- Heb 4:12) against any problem we have – spiritual, financial, academic, marital, health, etc Just use the word of God in faith and the VICTORY IS YOURS.
Wishing you a FAITH day!
