The Devil Is Clever. by Revadebola(op): 3:15am On Jan 30, 2018
THE DEVIL IS CLEVER.


Genesis 3:1 says, "Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?"

Whatever language of insult you like, you may use to describe the devil. But certainly, the devil is not foolish nor stupid.
The above scripture introduces the devil to us and it describes him as " subtil". That implies, cunning, being crafty, clever and deceitful. Indeed, the Bible says, he is "more subtil" than any beast of the field.
The devil is so cunning, so the Bible warns us that he can transform into an angel of light. And when he does that, he can easily deceive people.
Indeed, the Bible says, there are false apostles and deceitful workers in Christian circles and churches. All these transform as apostles of Christ.
2nd Corinthian 11 :13-15 says "For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works".
Because of such deceitful activities of Satan and false prophets, we need a great amount of discernment as 1st John 4:1 says, "Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world".
How do discern false apostles and prophets?
1. They teach and practice things contrary to the Bible.
2. They are not preparing you towards the rapture.
3. They encourage sinful living. Especially immorality.
4. They practice fetish things, idolatry.
Years ago, I heard the story of a man who calls himself, a prophet and deliverance minister. His speciality were only women and his particular way of ministrations was sexual immorality with them.
That is a false minister. Run from such people.

PRAYER POINTS :
1. Holy Spirit give me the spirit of discernment.
2. Lord deliver me from false apostles and prophets.
3. Lord prepare me for the rapture.
