The Source of Pain and Sin

December 9
In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.—2 CORINTHIANS 4:4
The Source of Pain and Sin
The fact cannot be denied that evil exists in this world. Andthe existence of evil has caused many earnest people to reject
the belief in a God of love. They’ve not understood that evil was the result of Satan’s reign over humanity as the prince and god of this world. They thought that God was ruling over everything.
But, no, Second Corinthians 4:4 says that Satan is the god of this world. The Bible does not say that God is the God of this
world. Satan is the god of this world. He is also called the prince of the power of the air (Eph. 2:2).
There are philosophers who have been so affected and impacted by the reign of evil that they have concluded that the “central principal” of the universe is evil. But they’re wrong. It is not the Creator, but the usurper, Satan, who is the source of
evil. The two divisions of evil are pain and sin. Now pain may have several subdivisions, but the major body of pain known and expressed by humanity is the pain caused by disease. Sin and disease are both the work of Satan. Sin is a disease of the spirit, and sickness is a disease of the physical body. Settle in your spirit once and for all that Satan is the author of sickness and disease. And when you know where it came from, you are not afraid of it anymore.
Confession:
Satan is the god of this world; he is the author of sickness and disease. Therefore, I resist sickness and disease in Jesus’ Name.

STERLING LEADERSHIP

D.C.L.M. DAILY   MANNA WEDNESDAY 9TH MAY, 2018 STERLING LEADERSHIP TEXT: GENESIS 47:13-31 KEY VERSE: “And they said, Thou hast saved our lives: let us find grace in the sight of my lord, and we shall be Pharaoh’s servants” (GENESIS 47:25). “No one needs aspire to leadership in the work of God who is not willing to pay the price greater than his/her contemporaries and colleagues are willing to pay. The more effective the leader is, the higher the price to be paid”, said J Oswald. Joseph stands out as an enduring proof of what the grace of God can do for a perfect, upright and diligent child of God. The expected season of the lean kine finally came. Pharaoh was prepared only because of Joseph’s astuteness in the management of the trust conferred upon him. He started to alleviate the suffering of masses by exchanging corn for money, then corn for land. In an uncanny display of shrewdness, he ultimately transferred the national wealth and citizens to the crown and saved the

WELL OF LIFE

March 3 WELL OF LIFE The mouth of a righteous man is a well of life . . . . — PROVERBS 10:11 Immediately after the birth of our son and daughter, I took those little ones into my hands and said, “Lord, I thank You for this child. Because I know the Bible, I realize it is my responsibility to train up this child in the way it should go, and when it is old, it will not depart from it. “I realize Your Word says to bring our children up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord, and I’m going to do that. I know that children are taught in two ways: By precept and by example. So I’m going to live right in front of this child. I will set the right example. Then, too, I know that you can have what you say, so I say over this child that it will grow up strong physically, without sickness and without disease; it will be alert mentally; and stalwart spiritually.” Our children grew up without sickness and disease. I never prayed a prayer that they would be saved. I never prayed a prayer that they

SUPPLYING OUR NEEDS

May 3 SUPPLYING OUR NEEDS But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus. — PHILIPPIANS 4:19 It is God’s will that our needs be met. All of them! Philippians 4:19 includes all of your needs (all means all!), whether spiritual, physical, material, or financial. Believe that! Lest someone think that God is not concerned about our financial needs, this verse is set in a context which discusses material and financial affairs. Read it and you will see that the Philippians had taken up an offering of money and goods to send to other Christians. Paul was telling them, “Because you have given to others and have helped them, my God shall supply all your need.” So Paul was talking about material and financial matters. With what boldness, then, we can pray for finances to meet our obligations! Having all of our needs met is according to God’s will! Confession: When I pray concerning finances, I pray according to God’s Word — His will. Therefore, I am confid
