DAILY MANNA SUNDAY SEPTEMBER 24, 2023 CHRIST’S VICTORY OVER SATAN

KEY VERSE: “These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful” (Revelation 17:14).

TEXT: REVELATION 17:9-14

In 1999, a Christian preacher entered a local community for mission work. In that remote village, a native doctor, who had held the people hostage for two decades, asked him to leave. The missionary insisted that he was there to do God’s work and nothing would stop him. At night, right inside a dingy room provided for him, the missionary noticed that a crawling object was moving towards him. He lit the candle and behold, it was a snake. The missionary and his host killed it. In the morning, news filtered that the native doctor had drowned in the village river. 

The war between light and darkness always ends in favour of light. Such will be the case found in today’s text. This is about the end-time judgment of the great prostitute, the beast and their accomplices who will cause the world to wander in iniquity and all forms of abomination. Their stooges — ungodly kings of the earth - will have the same satanic mindset and shall hand over their royal and political powers to the beast, who will wage a war against Jesus Christ and the Church. However, Jesus will overcome them and have them and their followers thrown into hell. 

Though these events are still in the future, the agents of Satan are already in the world taking their positions. Some of them are leaders in their domains championing demonic laws that will enslave many and put them on the side of the Antichrist. Some are seducing others, especially Christians. Some are waxing songs mixed with Christian and worldly lyrics to draw both children of God and the worldlings to their ungodly worldviews. Only be watchful and prayerful! Regardless of the activities of Satan and his forces, always ensure that you remain on the side of Jesus Christ, the victorious One.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:

No matter what comes your way, be on the side of Jesus, always!

THE BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:

PROVERBS 24 – 26
