Don't Be A Scapegoat For The Enemy!

Don't Be A Scapegoat For The Enemy!

In our world where wickedness is seemingly becoming a norm at the dismay of innocent souls, you ought to be careful so you don't become a scapegoat for the enemy. Why, because as a roaring lion the wicked seeks one to devour (1 Peter 5:8).

The world is full of temptations, though one can not do without these temptations, you have the power to control and resist, and that is to rest on God and His guidance (through the Word and prayer).

Nobody is above temptation, and not all temptations are meant for evil. God allows some trials your way to strengthen your faith and to equip you for your future well being (1 Corinthians 10:13). This not withstanding, the devil also implant certain trials to distort your future glory. And this is why you don't have to be a scapegoat for the enemy.

How do you then avoid being a scapegoat for the enemy? Just by seeking God, allowing Him to direct your steps and by obeying His commands (in the Word). Most especially, the instruction on LOVE. For love covers multitude of sins (1 Peter 4:8), as sin is the only opportune tool for the enemy to have access over your life.

God loves you, and allowed His precious son to become a divine scapegoat for your sake (John 3:16). Why then do you wish to be another scapegoat? Are you trying to say the Saviour's sacrifice is worthless? Don't be deceived!

Preserve your pride as one who has been saved from eternal condemnation and live to please God, and stop creating unnecessary traps for your life. For you can not handle the pressure that comes with it if God is not on your side. Be wise and escape from being a scapegoat for the enemy.

Stay Blessed!

Ephesians 4:1-32, Leviticus 16:7-22, Psalm 7:1-2, Psalm 31:1-5, Psalm 52:1-7, 1 Peter 5:8.

Shalom!!!
