DAILY VITAMIN

- God Is Supreme

"...The purpose of this decree is that all the world may understand that the Most High dominates the kingdoms of the world, and gives them to anyone He wants to, even the lowliest of men!" (Dan 4:17TLB)

I find a lot of believers talk about the Devil so much these days you'd think the devil created this world. They get scared when they speak of him, but fail to understand that the devil is insignificant in the place of God. 

What this means is that the only reason why the devil has a role in this cycle of life is because God lets him. And that there is God's most fearsome attribute - not His ability to make be,  but His ability to let be. See Lamentations 3:37-38.

In the days of Job, despite his not being born again in the order of things, the devil couldn't touch him. He had to seek clearance from God. And even when Jesus said this thief steals, kills and destroys, note that He said he seeks to not that he will succeed; for as the Psalmist says God is a strong tower, the righteous run in and is safe. 

So please, never think this is the devil's world. His influence can be seen everywhere but it is not his world. It is yours. The Psalmist says God made the heaven and gave the earth to the sons of men (Psalm 115:16). Paul reiterates the same, saying all is ours, because all is God's (1 Cor 3:21-23). So this is God's world and He gives it to whomever He wants, and this includes you.

Hence, what is it you think the devil has been hindering you from receiving? Okay good. Now that you've got it in your mind, stop focusing on the devil; focus on God and the words in our opening text. It is yours. Now ask God for it, knowing that it is yours; and believe Him that as you do this it shall be yours (Mark 11:24).
