KNOW YOUR ENEMY 3

ENMITY BETWEEN MAN AND SATAN

There are people who profess to be servants or worshippers of the devil, little did they know that they are walking into their own doom. The enmity between man and satan has been established even from the beginning of times, satan has nothing but fierce hatred for humanity irrespective of religion, race or gender.

'And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.' Genesis 3:15 KJV

When Adam and Eve sinned in the beginning, God placed enmity between the woman with her seeds and the serpent (satan) with his seeds (demons or his cohorts). The curse wasn't just limited to the serpent, but the spirit that possesses the serpent to turn the heart of the woman against God.  This enmity will persist until the time satan and his cohorts are thrown into the lake of fire. 

Before the beginnings, satan wanted to be like God, he desired the nature and the throne of God, he desired the dominion God has over all things, he did all he could to dethrone God but lost, casted out of heaven and doomed to be destroyed in hellfire. But God created man from the dust of the earth and filled him with His nature and spirit, granted him dominion over all he created. Man was made in the image and likeness of God, these same things satan had ever desired. Satan cannot attack God so he has directed his hatred towards the man He made and had loved.

'And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keeps the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.' Revelation 12:17 KJV

In the revelation the Lord gave Apostle John on the island of Patmos, he saw a pregnant woman crying in pains of delivery, then a dragon appeared trying to destroy the woman but failed, the woman was rescued and carried for safety. This made the dragon furious, and went after the remaining of her seed and to wage war against them. 

The dragon represents the devil while the woman was regarded as the church or mankind. The devil is furiously waging war against mankind because he knows he has only a little time. His time of accusing men and drawing the heart of men away from God is almost over, he is seriously raging because his time to be destroyed in hellfire with his cohorts is almost due, he is determined never to be destroyed alone, he wants to take as many as possible with him.

'...  for the dark places of the earth are full of the habitations of cruelty.' Psalms 74:20 KJV

'The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I come that they might have life and that they might have it more abundantly.' John 10:10 KJV

Beloved, Satan has absolutely nothing good to offer, no matter how he presents himself or how attractive he presents sin, his purpose is to steal, kill and destroy as many that will allow him. The earth is filled with wickedness due to the operations of satan on earth. Don't be a victim, renounce satan today and allow Jesus to take over your life. rebuke the devil outrightly and flee from any appearance of evil. I pray we finish well and strong.

Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:

1 Peter 5:8 KJV
