If Satan Depended On Truth To Survive Why Do We Think We Can Survive On Lies. by Corrections: 6:32pm On Aug 31
You don't need to raise eyebrows in response to this topic. Yes, devil values the truth more than gold. That is the undiluted truth if you ever care to know. Even though the Devil is the father of all liers (john 8:44) it completely relies on the truth to survive.

The truth is like a compass in the devil’s hand, without it, there is no direction of mission or purpose. It is from the Devil’s knowledge of truth that it produces weapons of lies.

What is truth? Truth is aligning with the reality and authenticity. The yardstick to measuring the truth is “God and his words”. Why? It is because he laid the foundation of all things that ever existed anywhere.

Colossians 1:16-17
For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him.

Therefore, God is where you can get the authenticity and reality of everything concerning life. Even the Devil knows this reality of getting the truth from “God and it’s words”. In other words, the Devil is a specialist and a master at searching the scriptures (the bible) where God’s words are found. It is unfortunate that while the Devil searches for truth from God many people comfortably reject the same God and the truth it possesses.

Truth is the bedrock of reality, anything built on foundation of lies will only crumble and fall. We don't build a nation on lies or rub faeces on body claiming we working towards a good healthy life. That can't be the truth!! It's a lie and the result can't be positive. Satan's reliance on truth points out the importance of authenticity in survival. Satan uses truth to his advantage inorder to ensure its continuity in existence. Satan uses the truth to create convincing narratives that deceive the most discerning individual.

Satan's goal is to remain hidden while executing his plans, making his influence look like a mere natural consequence of human action, hence bible warns us about Satan's tactics, urging us to beware of them.

1peter 5:8
Be alert and of sober mind . Your enemy the Devil moved around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.


Yes! Satan is always on a mission to devour people with lies. God says 'you are great and you will end well but Satan knowing this truth, will twist (lie) it and tell you ..."what a hopeless failure you are and you can never end well". You can imagine God saying he is God of all flesh and creator of everything that exists anywhere, but Satan keeps lying to people saying there is no God. The funny part of this is that after the deception of "no God" to people, the same Satan goes behind to recognize God as his "creator" and "Lord" when in God's presence.

Job 1:6

Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them.

Satan's reliance on the truth may seem ironic but it is a testament to the "power of truth". It only shows how truth is important and adored
by Satan. God expects us to choose the truth that it may be well with us and our children.

Deuteronomy 30:19

New International Version
This day I call the heavens and the earth as witnesses against you that I have set before you life and death, blessings and curses. Now choose life , so that you and your children may live.

Truth beautifies and sustains life. No scientist or researcher builds on lies (incorrect facts) and gets positive result, hence the reason they rely on truth (correct facts) to succeed.You need to decide today on which to survive on between the "truth" and "lie" but one thing I can assure you of is that, even Satan , choosed the "truth" to survive on its continuity of its existence.





HOW TO CONNECT WITH JESUS

John14:6
Jesus told him ' I am the way-
Yes, and the truth and the life. No one can GET to the father (GOD) except by means of me (JESUS ).


Say lord Jesus am sorry for the sins have committed and today I accept you as the son of God and as my lord and personal savior. Help me to follow you now and for ever more. Amen!!!

Good one brother.
I think most Christians live on assumption that God and devil has no commonplace. The truth is that God and Satan demand for faithfulness from their followers

Much more than that, the Faithfulness of God is misunderstood. When we say God is faithful, the question is to whom?
Firstly, God is faithful to Himself. 2Tim. 3:13
Then He is faithful to whomever is faithful.
It doesn't matter who that person is. Psalm 18: 25.

The demonic encountered Jesus and reminded Him, though had the power to destroy it, of His faithfulness to existing judgement. The Bible called the devil, the accusar of brethren, the question is where and for what. The Devil is looking for justice form the person who can dispense it. If he is not looking for justice why is looking for justice?

The devil is God's enemy but God still keeps to his own faithfulness and would permit the devil to torment any erring children.
