SATAN CARES?


Intriguing topic, yes I know. 

For a reason you will see soon.

As you noted, it’s a shortened question not a statement of fact.

So let’s start by asking it fully as a proper question: Does Satan care?

Does he care if he tells you to sleep a little longer when you wake up to pray? Does he care about your health?

Does he care if he reminds you of all your bills and pressing needs or quizzes you on why you want to give all of that tithe and offering? Does he care about your welfare?

Does he care if he suggests to you that you need to get down with someone you’re not married to because you need physical or emotional intimacy? Does he really care about your emotional health?

If he tells you to not forgive, or to not humble yourself and apologize, or to not give support of any kind that you are capable of, do you think he is protecting you, or helping you cultivate relationships, or doing you any good?

If he convinces you to fight, downgrade, abandon or destroy your relationship with your spouse or other significant people (or potentially valuable people) in your life, do you think he is helping you? 

When he came to Eve with his unique proposition to make her “as wise as God” by stepping out of alignment with Divine order/instruction, subtly casting aspersions on the word and integrity of God, do you for a moment think his goal was to enhance her life and wellbeing?

Whenever he tempts you with seemingly appealing offerings of sorts, do you perceive him to be working in your best interests?

Does Satan care about you?

Why is he interested in your affairs?

What’s in it for him?

Does your advancement give him any advantage?

Does he have a track record of promoting those who pleased him?

Does he have a reputation of elevating those who worked for him?

Have you spiritually or scripturally evaluated him?

Have you psychologically profiled him and his push notifications in your life?

Have you ever perceived him walking up to you with a seemingly wise suggestion or seemingly kind gesture which you intuitively knew and practically tested to be a trap, bait or pitfall?

This obviously speaks to your spiritual perception. 

Remember the words of the Master:

Watch and pray, lest you fall into temptation.

The temptation to misjudge a situation (or person) and thus fall prey to a suboptimal, negative and harmful approach and outcome.

So let’s end this short piece by asking the proper question again, now in its full form:

Does Satan truly care about anyone and has he ever genuinely cared about the progress of humanity? 

Does he love mankind?

Let this insight teach you a deeper truth.

And let this truth guide you.

Selah and peace.

SUPPORT NOT SUPPLANT

Image
  Do we have genuine connections? I’ll give a quick definition of the word supplant. So I can dwell more on the concept of support. To supplant means to take the place of, to displace, to replace or to undermine.  To support is to be actively interested in and concerned for the success of a person or thing, for example: supporting a particular sports team. It also means to provide assistance to, or give approval, comfort, or encouragement to.  It is a product of goodwill and belief in someone or something.  Many of us support different football teams which we gladly and passionately refer to as “our teams”. Observe the enthusiasm, excitement and in some cases excessive zeal or fanaticism with which we promote, defend and celebrate people who do we not personally know, or an enterprise from which we may not even earn a single penny or cent—except for those who are into sports betting.  That’s the power of connection. That’s the power of camaraderie. That’s the po...

DESTROY THIS TEMPLE

Image
  "Destroy this sanctuary, and in three days I will raise it up."   The words of the Lord Jesus to the dangerous and conniving religious leaders of His day who sought to kill Him and thus to silence the Truth of Yahweh (YHWH). He said this in reply to their demand for a miraculous sign in query of the authority He had to chase the money changers and merchandise sellers from the Temple just after He had cleared the Temple of these economic profiteering activities in the (falsely) religious space.  This same Christ who is the Truth gave His Word and Spirit of Truth to His Apostles who, as He had done, also bore witness to the Truth even with their lives and passed the same Truth down to the Church, which is the Body of Christ, who is the Only Head of His One Body. Selah. To be clear, we don't need to chase any religious merchant from their self-owned religious centres or overturn any tables. We only need to "bear witness to The Truth" and "earnestly contend f...

OPEN LETTER TO EX AND WARNING TO SINGLES

Image
WARNING TO SINGLES ASPIRING TO MARRIGE AND OPEN LETTER TO AN UNSCRUPULOUS EX To whom it may concern. Don’t marry a man whose leadership, integrity, vision, commitment to and love for you you don’t trust and afterwards rebel against his authority.  Don’t marry a woman who doesn’t meet your standards or requirements, who is not committed to you, who pretends a lot, is deceitful, inauthentic, lacks healthy self-image and is led by or under the control of third parties or public expectation. Marriage is for adults.  Don’t let your parents or peers choose your spouse for you when you are not really into that person or if your values don’t align. Don’t be desperate to get married. Take responsibility for your choice.  Don’t also pretend before marriage so that your target marital candidate chooses you.  If you have already defaulted in these areas and married wrongly, hold yourself accountable and don’t put the blame on one person. Do not deploy sinister schemes to make th...
