Attaining success or becoming a victor is not by accident, there where laws obeyed, plans followed that have been drafted long past with great precision.
The bone of contention of this post is the secret path to become victorious and staying victorious always. The secret path is 'KNOWLEDGE'. There are different dimensions of knowledge and also diverse heights of knowledge.
I refer to height of knowledge as the ' How Well', you are filled with selected and relevant facts with information, that means how grounded and sound are you on a particular aspect of knowledge and I tag the dimension of knowledge as the 'How Far' you have gone in attaining various kinds of knowledge this has to do with experiences you have gotten over time on various fields.
Today I'll be centering on the knowledge gotten or in otherwords drawn from God's word, the word of the creator of the universe that never pass away. Many persons today crave after non-empyrean knowledge, facts and information and neglect or have minimal urge for God's word, earthly facts and will pass away and fade into eternity, not that I condemn these facts, they are of much relevance to us throughout our stay on planet earth. The Bible says
And they that use this world, as not abusing it: for the fashion of this world passeth away.
1 corithians 7:31
And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: 1 John 2:17a
Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.
Matthew 24:35
From the above scriptures it is clearly deduced that the world and all it entertainment, fashion and all the things in it that glitter, all the degrees, certificates, and knowledge all of those aforementioned things and the whole world will one day be history.
We should have this understanding and place our primary focus on God's word which never and will ever pass away even if the foundations of the earth are gone His Word standeth sure and remains.
God's word lives out of time just like His personality, not even billions of years expressed in standard form can outdate the Word even if time was given a chance.
OVERCOMING SATAN THROUGH KNOWLEDGE
Knowledge is a familiarity, awareness, or understanding of someone or something, such as facts, information, descriptions, or skills, which is acquired through experience or education by perceiving, discovering, or learning.
Knowledge is the reason why two different Christians would react very differently to the same harassment of the devil, what I mean by harassment is simply the tricks of the enemy, one kind of physical challenge on subject of finance, health, academic, and so forth that has to do with you.
A wise man is strong; yea, a man of knowledge increaseth strength.
Proverbs 24:5
Once you make up your mind and put your focus in going deep in the knowledge of God's word, there is this increase in strength to tackle any kind of problem or challenge that falls in your way, this word of God aligned with your spirit man forms a barricade against the attacks of the enemy.
The knowledge you possess puts you over Satan as a victor , it makes you prepared and ready the knowledge you acquire may not be of utmost use until the day of adversity.
If thou faint in the day of adversity, thy strength is small.
Proverbs 24:10
The scripture above is an interesting one, something I have taken personal. You may have this belief that nothing could shake you that is beyond the physical with you standing on no ground and no reference knowledge to backup your so called strength, in the day of trouble you will be marvelled on how you are quick to fall due to meagre strength you possess why because you are lacking in God's WORD.
Coming into the consciousness of this knowledge that is, God being with us, we are more than able to overcome the devil anytime, anyway having God's word in us.
When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee.
Isaiah 43:2
Furthermore, we should have this idea that tears has no hope for victory, our scripturally acknowledged enemy is not moved by tears neither is the almighty God moved either. God is only moved by His Word to act against the enemy, so stop weeping if that has become an habit and lay hold on the knowledge that will liberate you.
Knowledge both stabilizes and strengthens whereas weeping and anxiety destabilizes. We should endeavor to seek knowledge always to confront wickedness and evil.
And wisdom and knowledge shall be the stability of thy times, and strength of salvation: the fear of the Lord is his treasure.
Isaiah 33:6
And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.
Matthew 28:18
Jesus came to put an end to the reign of the enemy, and since you have Jesus in you the chief principality in heaven and earth and He has all power that means you and I are equal stake holders in the power that Jesus possess, and as such we cannot be molested, or defeated in any sphere of life.
Christ went as far fixing the devil and his minions , putting him in a defeated position giving us victory taking it all for us through His death on the cross.
And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it.
Colossians 2:15
Even God went as far as placing the devil under our feet in the book of Genesis, in the above scripture we are made to understand that the devil is defeated, so we should walk in the understanding of triumph over Satan never to fear nor tremble.
Jesus has taken the place of man in sin, sickness, poverty and every imaginable evil thing in this world.
Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.
But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. Isaiah 53:4-5
Christ took all evil away from our side, He went to hell and cemented our victory and sealed the devil's doom of defeat.
I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.
Rev 1:18
SATAN'S TRUE POSITION
The devil's place is under your feet, so therefore he is to receive orders and not to make
them.
And the God of peace shall bruise Satan under your feet shortly. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen.
Romans 16:20
Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places,
Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come:
Which is his body, the fulness of him that filleth all in all.
Ephesians 1:20-23
Our lineage has changed to walk as children of light, to dominate and to sit where Christ is so we are on top as victors in high places.
