BE GOD CONSCIOUS

The Son of God was manifested to DESTROY all the works of the devil (1 John3:8b). A truly born again child of God should have no business with the devil. While it is true that there is an unrepentant devil who is going to and fro on the earth and who is unrelenting in his mission to steal, kill and destroy, yet God’s children are not expected to be devil-conscious or be preoccupied with the devil. You should not be conscious of the devil in any way. Rather, be conscious of God, talk to Him with praises, and testify of His faithfulness. One of the major problems of today’s Church is devil-consciousness. We are too preoccupied with the devil, always speaking of what the devil is doing, constantly seeking for and seeing the devil in every person and situation, thinking always on the devil next plans, targets and attacks, and steadfastly fixing our minds on the devil. All because we are no longer God-conscious! Being devil-conscious does no good. It only magnifies the works, power and presence of the devil. It breeds fear, worry, anxiety or restlessness. It also diminishes or belittles God’s work, power and presence in your life and situation. It is so sad but true that many believers today are dealing or relating with the devil as though Christ has not disarmed and defeated him through His death on the cross. When you are devil-conscious, you are obviously not conscious of Christ’s victory over the devil through the cross. "And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it" (Col.2:15). Today, all the works of the devil are DEAD WORKS. People of God should know that the only infallible antidote to being Satan-conscious is to be God-conscious. This requires a radical and conscious change in your way of thinking, mindset or mentality. You can never walk in constant and consistent victory over the devil by fixing your thoughts on the devil, but by staying your mind on God. The Scripture testifies: "Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee" (Isa.26:3).  When your mind is preoccupied with God or your thoughts are fixed on God, the Scripture says “God will keep you in perfect peace.” When you consciously and consistently ponder on what Christ has done and what He is doing for you and in you, Christ’s works, power and presence will be magnified in your life and situation. Again! here's my advice to you, "This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success" (Joshua1:8). Read your Bible always, please. Beloved, God bless as you continue reading and following the Lord Jesus, Amen!...#fasuchemhttp://my.opera.com/fasuchem
