Man of GOD pastor M alias Muriithi wanjau of Mavuno church shares why you should resist the devil who seeks to intimidate so that we can forget who we are.
“Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour’ 1Peter5:8
Lions often don’t roar when they hunt! Unable to run very far, they typically silently stalk their prey, coming very close before pouncing for the kill. I once heard that older lions, unable to run fast anymore, hunt by coming as close to the prey as possible and then emitting a loud earthshaking roar. The animal that normally would have easily outrun the lion is paralyzed by fear. In that moment, the lion pounces and kills.
I believe this is how our enemy works. He seeks to intimidate so that in our fear, we forget who we are. Whatever challenge you meet today, whether in your office, in traffic or at home, take a moment to remember who you are as a child of God. Stand in your quiet authority as a child of God and refuse to be intimidated! Resist the devil, and he will flee from you! (James 4:7)”
