Destiny Empowerment Daily Devotional (14th December 2023)

TOPIC: Humiliating Evil (Part 2)

For our fathers have trespassed and done evil in the eyes of the Lord our God; they have forsaken Him, have turned their faces away from the dwelling place of the Lord, and turned their backs on Him. II Chronicles 29:6 NKJV

*Message*

Evil became rooted in the earth realm when it found its way into the nature of Mankind after our first parents (Adam and Eve) disobeyed God in the Garden of Eden (Genesis chapter 3). The result was that the good nature of humanity became perverted, and evil became part of us, and turned into some sort of gene being passed from one generation to another.

You see, evil is not a 21st-century thing. Evil didn't start in the 5th century, nor in the 10th, nor in the 4th - but it has always been here with us after those ugly incidents, many years ago. Evil had been on earth while the earth was still very young. Consider the scripture that said:

*"Unlike Cain, who was of the evil one, and killed his brother. Why did he kill him? Because his deeds were evil, and his brother’s righteous."* 1 John 3:12

Having seen all these, let's ask: "Is God happy with the activities of Evil in the world?" The answer is No! Then, "Why isn't He offering any solution?". God actually did offer a potent strategy to disgrace Evil, and He has done it once and for all. Unfortunately, many humans have yet to embrace His Wisdom of His solution.

What is God's Solution To Defeating Evil? Jesus Christ!

*At Calvary, Jesus disgraced and defeated Evil, and turned the word 'evil' into 'Live'. In John 1:4, the scriptures say: "In Him was life, and the life was the light of men." When you accept Jesus as Lord and Savior, you become a new unique breed that has a nature that's above Evil, and the light of Christ in you illuminates your entire being (mind, thoughts, conscience, habits, characters, etc) making it easy to walk in the narrow path of holiness and righteousness that is devoid of evil.*

This makes you immune from any form of evil flying around in the environment.

Imagine how beautiful our world would be if every one of us decided to accept Jesus Christ and embrace His loving directives.

And if you are a believer, please preach Him to the world. Remember, the more people accept Him in spirit and in truth, the less evil the world will witness.

*Prayer*
Ask for boldness to partner with the Lord to keep exposing the works of darknes around you.

*Further Reading*
For everyone practicing evil hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed. John 3:20 NKJV
