Texts: Luke 10:19; Psalm 91:13
Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan
Exhortation:
According to today’s text, the serpent symbolizes the enemy of mankind, the great dragon who was hurled down to the earth and his angels with him; the ancient snake called the devil, or Satan, who leads the whole world astray.
The strategy of the cunning serpent is to strike, bite, poison, constrict, suffocate, swallow and consume its prey. You need to put the devil where he belongs by taking firm spiritual steps.
One weapon to overcome the serpent is to trample upon it and smash its head in prayer. The Lord Jesus said, “I have given you authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and to overcome all the power of the enemy; nothing will harm you.” Luke 10:19. “Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet.” Psalm 91:13
Another weapon you can use is the consuming fire of the Holy Spirit. The Bible says, “A fire goeth before him, and burneth up his enemies round about.” Psalm 97:3.
Get up and launch your spiritual offensives.
