THE LAMP DEVOTION
1 John 5:1-5
Whoever believes that Jesus is the Christ is born of God, and everyone who loves Him who begot also loves him who is begotten of Him. 2 By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and keep His commandments. 3 For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments. And His commandments are not burdensome. 4 For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith. 5 Who is he who overcomes the world, but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?
One of the realities of living under the blessing is the constant victory we have over the devil and his agents who come against us day and night. Thank God we are not helpless against them. God has been victorious in what can be called the conflict of the ages, in which the devil and demons wage war against anything God has established in the earth for the sons of men.
God has not left us at the mercy of the devil. God has equipped us to fight the good fight of faith by standing our grounds and remaining victorious because of the victory won for us by Christ Jesus. The hymn writer has written, “On Christ the Solid Rock I stand, all other ground is sinking sandâ€. This hymn affirms that we already have victory handed over to us. This happened at Calvary when Jesus made an open show of principalities and powers, triumphing over them.
You and I are the church and Jesus just said in no uncertain terms that the devil cannot prevail against us. Faith in Jesus is the source of our victory over the devil and his demons. Standing fast simply means holding on to the faith in Christ as Savior, deliverer, and Victor over the devil.
Prayer
1. Thank God for Jesus’ victory over the devil, rendering him powerless against you.
2. Pray that you will put away all fear and simply stand your ground in Christ.
3. Father, please keep me standing on the Solid Rock every step of the way.
Declarations
I declare that Jesus Christ my Lord is the Solid Rock and the sure Foundation upon which any man should build his life. I stand on this Solid Rock. I build my house on the Rock and no wind or storm of life can knock me off. I declare that I stand firm and I shall not be uprooted because I am firm in Christ Jesus my Lord.
