OUT NUMBERED OR OUT ORGANIZED.(5)

*WISDOM FOR TODAY.*

*OUT NUMBERED OR OUT ORGANIZED. (5)*

*Scripture Treasure.*

2 Cor 2:11  *Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices.*

*Insight and Highlight.*

The Christian must maintain command and control always. He must not take what the scriptures warn us about Satan for granted. His information management is key.

*Scripture Commentaries.*

Some do not see the need to know Satan. They see him as immaterial and one to be ignored and pay no attention to.

It is dangerous to fail to know or seek to find out an enemy who seeks after your life to destroy it.

A Christian is organized when he knows the schemes and devices employed by his enemies, 2 Cor 2:11. Satan's major weapon is deception.

Knowing Satan's mission is also key, John 10:10a.

The knowledge of how to use or deploy the Christian's spiritual weapons is also key.

There is power in prayer, 1 Thess 5:17, and in praying all kinds of prayers, Eph 6:18.

We must be circumspect and with a careful and prudent way, or with caution, avoid Satan and his agents, Eph 5:15.

If you are circumspect, it would be difficult for Satan to gain advantage of you.

There are people who do not see Satan as evil. They believe Satan does not cause evil, but children of men are the ones to blame. Though people are traceable to evil, Satan remains the source of temptation and evil.

A reasonable suspicion of Satanic activities can help you disorganize Satan and his agents. An appearance of evil is a ground for reasonable suspicion, 1 Thess 5:22.

Rom 16:17 says, *Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them.*

Do not be unaware of the danger around you.

Even while we pray, we are still admonished to watch, ref Matt 26:41 and Mk13:33. 

Do not be an unsuspecting victim of Satan.

People who are not watchful or suspecting of Satan may not be alive to defend their ignorance.

Be in control by knowing your enemy, Satan!

*Remorse corner.*

Satan can disorganize a life that had been carefully organized for years.

*Call to Word action.*

Rather than be an unsuspecting victim, be suspicious of Satan.

*The prudent see danger and take refuge, but the simple keep going and pay the penalty.* Proverbs 22:3; 27:12. 

*The Christian clarion duty.*

Victory over Satan is the high point of every believer. We must avoid getting any lower.

*Prayer.*

Lord, help me. Do not allow Satan to gain an upper hand over me. Help me to have full knowledge of his schemes and tactics in Jesus name.

Good morning all, and have a blessed day.

God bless you.
