This world is a battleground. It doesn’t matter whether you are righteous or unrighteous, poor or rich, white or black. Whether you like it or not, satan will come for you because he came for Jesus at the cradle and up to the grave. Jesus was able to defeat satan through prayer and the word of God. This world is not the place for PLAYING. Instead, it’s the place for PRAYING. If you love PLAYING more than PRAYING, you will soon become a PREY.

1 Peter 5:8-9 (NKJV)Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. Resist him, steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same sufferings are experienced by your brotherhood in the world
1 Peter 5:8-9 (NLT)Stay alert! Watch out for your great enemy, the devil. He prowls around like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour. Stand firm against him, and be strong in your faith. Remember that your family of believers all over the world is going through the same kind of suffering you are.
As seen in the scriptures above, all believers need to know that we have one ferocious enemy: the devil, who comes to steal, kill, and destroy. You need to stay alert and be on guard because your indefatigable enemy, the devil, is planning to eat you for lunch. Don’t allow him to do you any harm. Resist him vehemently because he is also fighting against other believers in Christ across the globe. The only language that the devil understands is VIOLENCE. Take everything that belongs to you that the devil is hindering through the force of prayer and the word of God. The devil will not win against you in this spiritual battle in Jesus’ victorious name! Glory to God.
