Resist The Devil: Story of Eve And The Serpent

...And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden? - Genesis 3:1

Today's Bible verse is about the conversation with Eve (the first woman) and the serpent (the devil); God has instructed Adam to eat of every tree in the garden of Eden except a particular tree. Eve obliviously knew about this and the devil also knew. (Genesis 3:1-7)

But yet he still came to have a discussion with Eve and cunningly twisting his words to confuse her. Unfortunately, Eve gave in to the devil.

The devil will always come to us at some point of our life, he will try to con us and devalue the Word of God in our lives. Truth is the more we listened to the devil, the more we are likely to give to him.

James advised us to resist the devil and he will flee from us, (James 4:7). Eve didn't resist the devil and she eventually gave in to him. We shouldn't hold any conversation with the devil and his cohorts because they have no good things to offer.

When you give devil time to dialogue with you, he will eventually steal from you, kill your joy and destroy you. We have no business whatsoever with the devil.

Whenever the devil comes asking to speak with you, resist him. The devil can come in whatsoever form to talk with you, he could come of form of an adviser, perhaps through your friend or even your thoughts.

Hold no talks with the devil, resist him when he comes in whatever form.

The devil is cunning, no matter the advise or offer he is giving you, NHL to is and can be good about it. Beware!

Good Morning and do have a glorious Thursday.

The song was actually borne out of a personal testimony of Travis Greene. According to the artist, 'Made a Way' was written during an impossible situation.

The doctors said the possibility of the baby’s survival is slim to none, and it was during this period when his wife was on bed rest for two months that he wrote the song.

When Jesus was on His way to heal Jairus’s daughter and news came that things had gone from bad to worse, that the girl was dead. Jesus overheard and said, "Don't be upset. Just trust me...
