The wicked is brief.

 

Text: Job 20:5 (KJV)

That the triumphing of the wicked is short, and the joy of the hypocrite but for a moment?

Since the existence of man here on earth, we have been exposed to various wicked tricks of the devil. It is said repeatedly that the devil is subtle, and he enjoys putting pressure on man for him to have victory, but the good news is, as believers, we have overcome his tricks. 1 John 5:4- For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith. The bible also tells us that we have victory over the world, so that means the current pressure of life we might be facing have no power over us, because God has been working to bring victory to us, His dear children. So I urge you to rejoice because your victory is near.

We need to remember, our God is forever, but the devil’s plan is only for a short time (temporal). So this means there is an expiration date for the devil and that is why the scripture says in Psalms 30:5b- weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning. So enough is enough with all the weeping and sorrows because your joy is here. 1 Corinthians 15:57- But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. I tell you again to rejoice because the time of the enemy over any matter you might be facing is over by the power in the name of Jesus. I encourage you, to stand firm and shine like a morning star because your victory is sure, in Jesus name.

PRAYER POINTS: 

1. Father, may I continue to dwell in a place of safety, despite the deep root of the wicked, in Jesus name.

2. Oh Lord, please help us to always walk out of trouble no matter how close it may seem, in Jesus name.

Action Quote: We always need to remember that we are fighting from the victory side.
