THE DEVIL DOES NOT HAVE THE FINAL SAY
“Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: whom resist steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world.” 1 Peter 5:8-9 (KJV)
The devil doesn’t have the final say in your life. God is still on your side. He will never leave you nor forsake you. He will fight your battles and silence the voice of the enemy that is coming against your life.
The Lord will arise on your behalf and frustrate the devices of the wicked. To frustrate is to make plans or efforts of no avail. It means to defeat, to disappoint to thwart, to nullify, to hinder, to prevent, and to upset. You will defeat every attack of the enemy against your destiny. If you have been a target of these devilish attacks, don’t throw up your hands in surrender to your adversary. Whether the devil likes it or not, the double portion is what God has planned for you. God will give you double for all your troubles.
Beloved, this is your defining moment! Don’t ever believe in the lie of the devil. The devil doesn’t have the final word. You serve the Alpha and Omega. He is the Beginning and the End. He is the First and the Last. When He shuts a door, no one can open it. And when He opens a door, no one can shut it. So, the devil cannot have the final say. Get ready to receive your portion.
You may have suffered setbacks and frustration, but that is not the final word in your situation. Don’t give up. The devil doesn’t have the final say. That is why you must resist him. Resist him until he flees from you. You are coming out of that difficult situation. You will not stay there any longer. Whatsoever is frustrating you in any area of your life is terminated. Things will turn around in your favour. Your ground will answer to you, and you will not end in disgrace.
