The Creeping things

Text: Genesis 1:26 (KJV)

And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.

I remember the testimony of a young man, who the devil took hold of. He used to enjoy reading books, which was an excellent adventure, but suddenly he began to read a book about occultism; this was his beginning of downfall. That book he was reading, made him get initiated ignorantly into occultism, but as God would have it, His mercies located him, and he was set free. Hallelujah!!!

In this 21^st century or technology age, we are exposed to so many different things, and because we do not want to be called old-school, we accept them, but it is not meant to be so; instead, we need to be sensitive. The truth is that these negative things or thoughts are so easy to do, but they cause so much havoc in our lives. They are so destructive, and they can slowly creep into our lives, families, schools, offices, environment, and even the churches, but we need to be careful. Although these evil things creep in easily, we must remember we serve a great God, who has given us dominion over all the creeping things in this world, and we must stand with that God. The devil might seem smart, but we have a God who is smarter and wiser on our side, so put your confidence and trust in Him. It says in Ecclesiastes 7:29- Lo, this only have I found, that God hath made man upright; but they have sought out many inventions. Also in Romans 1:30- Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents. The man, by nature, is made upright and uncorrupted. We are meant to search for many inventions in this world for the comfort of life. But not the evil ones as there are many inventors of evil. We are the ones who created all this mess because we fell for the temptations of those creeping things, but we are still the ones who are meant to fix them. We have been given the grace by God to have dominion over those things, so display that grace in your vicinity.

The truth is, there are many BITTER FRUITS in our environment, and they have gained roots, but we should uproot them. We should not be contented with the present state of things, but instead, we should aim higher to change them; it starts by not being comfortable with the wrong. No matter how evil is creeping into this world, we are above them, because we have the mind of Christ, so remember to push positive inventions around you. Ephesians 4:24- And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness. Since they enter slowly, we are meant to be alert so as to overcome them by our new nature in Christ. Although they may not seem evil at first, with the help of the Spirit of God in us, we will be able to identify those things, so stay alert. I pray God will help us, in Jesus name.

PRAYER POINTS:

1.Father, thank you because you made us have dominion over the creeping things we are complaining about, in Jesus name.

2.Father, please uproot every creeping thing that is not of You in my life, in Jesus name.

ACTION QUOTE: Did you know you can disconnect from that negative plug that is charging evil around you?
