While growing up, I always cringe when I hear the word "devil" being mentioned. The many stories told of how he fell from heaven, and how he came to earth and ever since been a torn on the children of God. This has never sat well with me as I always wondered why a loving all knowing God will Create such a being to torment his children, it never made sense to me. So I set out on a quest to find this all evil being, if not for anything, but at least to hear his own side of the story. I was surprised to learn that the so called "ruler of darkness" is just the MOON. you can imagine how I felt, the fear built up over the years just disappeared in a twinkle of an eye... Is the moon evil? NO, is Darkness evil? NO.... we all spent the first 9 months of our lives in the darkness of our mothers womb. So this lead me to understand that light and darkness are NOT opposing forces, but complimentary as we need both to survive... So next time you hear the word "devil" do not fear, do not freight... Just know that it is nothing but the personification of darkness.... Knowledge is power..

Happy Sunday.

He is known by many names.. Nanna, set, Esu, ekwensu... Etc.

God is light and in him is no darkness at all.

Jesus is the only way to be saved. Dont go to hell!

Only in darkness can you see stars, lol.

The darkness that surrounds us, by itself cant hurt us. It is the darkness in the heart we should be attentive to or wary of. As humans, since the inception, we all got both light and dark inside of us, we really do have a light side and a dark side, but its up to us, the part we choose, to act on. Now what part we act on, defines us, reveals who we really are, but even if one starts out, on the dark side, it doesn't mean you have to continue the journey to the end, that way, lol.

"And no wonder, for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light.
(i.e. But I am not surprised! Even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light.)"

At times when darkness does not show you light, you will never forget the person who came to you with a lit up candle in the dark. No amount of darkness can hide a spark of light, darkness dies in the light. Just as the light of a single candle can dispel the darkness of a thousand years, the moment we light a single candle of wisdom, no matter how long or deep our confusion, ignorance is dispelled

sonmvayina:
Happy Sunday.

Don't fear the darkness if you carry the light within. Light dispels darkness. Be the light. A candle never loses any of its light while lighting up another candle. Happy Sunday, lol.

Do you think that there is anything God created that he can't control?

Nothing is beyond God's control, if God is bent on controlling whatever it might be.

What makes you think the devil is an exception?

What makes you think the devil is an exception

"“All right, do with him as you please,” the LORD said to Satan. “But spare his life.”
(i.e. Then the LORD told Satan, "Very well then, he is under your control. Just preserve his life.
"All right!" the LORD replied. ''Make Job suffer as much as you want, but just don't kill him.'')
-Job 2:6

The devil controls what the devil is allowed or permitted to control. In fact, the devil also, by hook or crook, will make attempts to grab power to control.

Grab power from where?.. From God?

Grab power from where?.. From God?

"God has spoken plainly, and I have heard it many times: Power, O God, belongs to you;
(i.e. More than once I have heard God say that power belongs to him)"
- Psalm 62:11

"And you shall remember the LORD your God, for it is He who gives you power to get wealth, ..."
- Deuteronomy 8:18a

All power comes and/or is obtained from God. God is always in the mathematical formulae and equation of power

So where do you think the devil will look to grab power?

Duh, I don't know. Is there a prize to be won for having the correct answer, lol? OK, the devil will look to grab power anywhere the devil thinks will find or have no resistance, lol.
