Bible Reading: Gen. 3: 1 - 5
Topic: Has God Said. . . . . .?
Today's passage exposes
satan as very cunning and the architect of the fall of man.
He came with a cunning
question which cleverly twisted the truth of the Word of God.
He pretended to be on the
side of the man and the woman and tried
to undermine God's Character with his cunning words.
This is why Paul warned in
2 Cor. 11: 14 that satan transforms himself into the angel of light.
Satan twisted the Word of
God to deceive Eve and he tried the same trick with Jesus during His temptation
when he misquoted God's promise of protection given in the Psalms in order to
get Jesus to seek cheap popularity.
Jesus was able to defeat
him because He knew exactly what the Word of God said.
Unfortunately today, many
of us depend on the 'word of the man of God' than the Word of God.
That only spells disaster
because many false prophets today twist the Word of God for their own selfish
ends.
Today, determine to study
the Word of God for yourself to know exactly what it says. It is your most
effective protection against the devil and false teachers and prophets.
Prayer:
Father in Heaven, give me
the grace to faithfully study Your Word so that I can be fortified against the
wiles of the devil and all agents of darkness, I pray in Jesus Name, Amen
Memory Verse: Gen. 3: 3
"But of the fruit of
the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat
of it neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die"
