Shame Him!

I am committed to God, Love Him with all of my heart, I am willing to go out on the limb for Him, follow Him with my eyes closed and so on. I treasure my relationship with Jesus more than anything else in life. To me, He is more important than the breath in my nostrils and His Word is more real and dependable than the ground I am stepping on. He is everything to me. Seeing His Love for me has made me love Him back to the best of my ability. I pride myself in that He knows me and that I have been sealed for salvation by the Holy Spirit. All this is true, don't get me wrong but there is one thing that is extremely exciting to me, and that's mopping the floor with the devil.

Do not participate in the worthless and unproductive deeds of darkness, but instead expose them [by exemplifying personal integrity, moral courage, and godly character]; ~ Eph 5:11 AMP

A few years ago I received Jesus into my life. The best thing that ever happened to me. Even if I never saw the Lord do anything else in my life I would be eternally grateful for this precious costly gift of Eternal Life and Communion with God.

Soon after receiving Jesus, it occurred to me how far drawn from the Fountain of Life and steeped into the kingdom of darkness I was. To God, I remain thankful every day for redeeming my poor soul.

Then I learnt that someone had been deliberately trying to destroy my life. Someone was responsible for my ordeal and had stolen everything that belonged to me. And not just me, He is still doing this to many more others. I immediately made an enemy, outrageous hatred sprang up in me, a willingness to do anything to shame and expose him.

I suddenly wanted to put my hands on his puny neck. The pathetic condemned decrepit creature was behind all the hell I've been through, it kept me in bondage due to my ignorance and is still seeking ways to take me down. He works every second of his inept desolate existence seeking who he may devour.

I got angry. And ever the more when I learnt I had a choice. Scripture told me that the devil was all mouth, all talk and no power. In the end, when we see him we will wonder how this ant caused all the damage we witnessed. Anyway, I wasn’t as helpless as I previously thought. I was ready to turn against this enemy with every fibre of my being. I couldn’t just entertain his lies. I refuse to let him devour me, I resist him.

It was clear that I couldn't give place to the devil. I had to beware of his devices and I had to trample on him. I am a Victor in Jesus, no one is taking that away.

Then the Word told me that if I give myself over to obey him that would give him power over me. I learnt that I could shut him out of my life. And I hated him with a passion, such that I had no hate left in my life for anything else.

I denounced the devil with his works and believed Jesus with my heart and confessed with my mouth unto salvation.

I decided to never let the devil into my life. I work hard every day to renew my mind and inoculate my heart with the Word of Life. I focus on Jesus and give the devil zero attention. I know he's a creature of pride, so I don't give him the time of day. Never! He's such a waste this devil. He is The Enemy of Believers and the Accuser of Brethren.

I decided to expose his works, shame him and evade his traps with as many as I can draw. I will follow God as if it hurts the devil, I hope it does hurt him when I share what the Lord has taught me with countless others, walk in the fulness of God, enjoy undisrupted communion with God, trust and obey Jesus, when my God smothers me with Love in his lavish embrace every moment of my life.

The devil tried to steal my blessings, my youth, my purpose and the Gifts of God in me, he tried to kill me. I will serve God forever. I despise the devil and mock and shame him every day. I am devoted to circumventing all his advances. I draw joy from frustrating his efforts.

I believe the best way to do life in Christ is by embodying everything Jesus hath given us freely, walk in Power, work signs and wonders, reign in Life, be the light in this dark lost world, be the salt, refuse all the lies of the devil and religion, ignore him, give him no space. Shame the enemy and expose him as much as can be done.

This is my retribution. Some say that man is a worm and so can't do anything against the devil, while that was true a few years ago, right now it's a different story. I have the Spirit of the Most High living in me and that makes the devil a worm and that's if I am being generous. The Spirit that rose Jesus from the dead lives in me and I will live life like that's true, Bless God! It's true. I have no reservations when it comes to dealing with a defeated foe. I am a winner and I enjoy my victories.

I'm not trying to fight him. I am rubbing my trophies on his face. What a loser! I wonder how he gets time to plan ineffective plans for my life whilst his fate is already decided. He can't escape it. He is doomed to eternally suffer in hell. But we can decide to live for God. To live like Jesus.

Decide to walk away, escape his snares and take as many as you can with you. Shame him. Depopulate the Kingdom of darkness. Stop flirting with the devil and toying with his devices. Don’t fear him. Live up to the legacy of believers in Jesus, embody all that Jesus has said you have.

Have nothing to do with the works of darkness, be foolish as concerning things of the world and wise in the things of the Kingdom of God.

You're a winner. You're free, no longer a slave. Don't be a defeated scared Christian.

Stand your ground. Shame the devil.
