Settling For Less? by kpakpandoN(m): 7:22am On Nov 10, 2013
According to Ephesians 6:11,one major reason you must be fully kitted with God's armour is to enable you overcome Satan's tricks.He will be okay if he can get your child or money to replace God in your life.He will attack your defence system to try and make you lose control in at least one area of life.The devil may suggest to you to take it easy,that going to Heaven is not hard,that you do not need to be so fervant all the time,when he knows Revelation 3:15-16 speaks to the contrary.He can suggest to you to pay your tithe but not all,and to give offering but not cheerfully with the excuse that God understands. Moreover,the worst lie Satan can tell you is that you are okay just as you are.That is a big lie! You are not okay as you are! If you believe Satan's lie,he will succeed in stagnating you for life.Such people cannot improve on themselves or go beyond where they are.They cannot come closer to God because there would be no drive in that direction.Some people have surrendered to fate.They tell God that He has done enough for them already and that He should just leave them alone.They limit God by so doing because God may not do a new thing in the life of an individual unless the fellow allows Him to.God has a goal for your life but He will not forcibly implement it against your will. In 2 Kings 4:8-17,we read of the Shunammite woman who was very wealthy and was well connected.When asked what she needed,she said she was okay as she was.But thank God for her seed which spoke for her even when she gave a wrong reply.In Genesis 39:1-10,Satan also tried to talk Joseph into turning his prosperity in Portiphar's house into his final destination.He told him since he was doing well as a slave operating as a Managing Director,he should settle down there and enjoy everything including the wife of his master,but he refused. In what way are you settling down for Satan's lie? Repent,arise and return back to God's original plan for your life. Don't settle for less!
