The key to avoiding the bait is not to taste it at all. "What you should not eat, you should not sniff." Ask anyone who is addicted to something bad, and they will tell you it all started with a taste.

If a snare is prepared by the fowler and you stay away from the bait, you will not be caught in it.

“If you are addicted to a sinful habit, you need the power of the Most High God to break free from it. Seek help from a spirit-filled mand of God and you may also consult a Christian professional counsellor to break free from that addiction.”

Memorise: All things are lawful unto me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any. -1 Corinthians 6:12

The fowler's bait is usually attractive and difficult to ignore. You will hardly see a man commit adultery with a woman he considers ugly. -Genesis 3:6

The devil knows what you are attracted to, and he will use that as bait to get you. Beware! -1 John 2:16

Christians must circumcise their hearts to change their affections. Soak yourself in the word of God so much that the only things that are attractive to you are the things that please Him. *-Proverbs 4:23

“If you discover that hings of the world are becoming more attractive to you than the things of God, it means that you are vulnerable to the devil's snare. *Declare a fast for yourself, go on a retreat and spend quality time in God's presence till that lust dies.”

Memorise: And if thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell. *-Matthew 5:29

According to the word of God, anyone who catches prey with a trap (as described yesterday @view/84878) can legally lay claim to it. -Isaiah 49:24

When a fellow walks into the trap of the enemy after being lured by his or here lust, the devil can lawfully lay a claim on the fellow.

The bait the devil uses does not usually look like death. It has 3 major qualities to make it effective: It is usually attractive to the prey, it is pleasant to the prey's taste, and it involves the prey's pride.

“Beware of the things you lust after; they are baits of the devil that will lead to death eventually.”

Memorise: For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes and the pride of life is not of the Father, but is of the world. -1 John 2:16

A very good example of a fowler is an adulteress (Proverbs 6:26). The bible says that she hunts for precious life.

A fowler uses a snare to entrap prey. The chief of all fowlers is the devil. -1 Peter 5:8

There are countless of people in hell today because they tasted sin and nothing seemed to happen, so they kept sinning until they got caught in the devil's trap.

“If a Christian does not pray, he or she will become prey. Psalm 91:3 If you don't want o fall into the snare of the fowler, your secret place with your Father must be on fire.”

Memorise: Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour. -1 Peter 5:8

Pray fervently for at least on hour every day, and it will be difficult for you to be the devil's prey.

When a person's vision dies, it means old age has set in. (One of the ways you will know that you are old is when you no longer have visions.) -Genesis 27:1

The definition of old age is 'dreamers'. As long as you still have a vision you are pursuing, it means you are not yet old. -Joel 2:28

When a person's vision is gone, the fellow is on his or her way out. If you had a great vision, but now, you have forgotten about them. Wake up!

“It is pathetic to see young people who are already old because they have no vision. Yes, they talk about dreams for their future, but they are mere wishes because you don't see them pursuing them at all.”

Memorise: And the Lord answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it. -Habakkuk 2:2

What is the vision you have been actively pursuing?

Eternity is real, and where a person spends eternity is determined by the way he or she lives in this present world. -Romans 2:3-10

Don't let the cares of this world and the deceitfulness of riches blur your vision of the place Christ has prepared for you. -John 14:1-3

To escape the horrible and eternal torment, give your life to Christ today, and if you have done so, live holy and remain eternity minded. -Matthew 25:41

“It is surprising that some Christians live in this world without eternity on their minds. (Such Christians can be easily spotted from their lifestyles and attitudes towards the things of God. They live as if they will be on earth forever.)”

Memorise: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. -1 Thessalonians 4:17

My God does not need to follow protocols when He wants to promote His children. Psalm 115:13 sys that : He does as He pleases. I pray for you today that God will break all protocols and take you to the very top, in Jesus name.

Memorise: I will overturn, overturn, overturn it: and it shall be no more, until he come whose right it is; and I will give it him. -Ezekiel 21:27

“Prayer Point: Father, break any protocol that needs to be broken and bless me, in Jesus' name.”

Clearly, you cannot start anything without God's permission, and you cannot finish anything without His approval.

You will have a better quality of life if God (whom the world is under His control), is your guide. -Proverbs 3:5

God knows where is danger and where your blessings are hiding. He will show you the treasures of darkness and hidden riches in secret places. -Isaiah 45:3

“Let God guide your every move and decision. He knows the end from the beginning.”

Memorise: Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand and I will do all my pleasure: -Isaiah 46:10

Many who claim to trust God with all their hearts surprisingly depend on their own understanding and attempt to strategise their way through life.

If you are truly a child of God, you must always be led by Him (Romans 8:14). You can't be in the driver seat and only remember God anytime you run into trouble.

When you trust someone, you don't ask unnecessary questions. When He says move, you move. No arguments.

“When boarding a plane, you trust the bilot knows what he is doing and will take you safely to your destination; you don't ask to see his license or inspect the plane. If you can trust human beings with your life that much, how much more the Most High God?”

Memorise: Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. -Proverbs 3:5

READ: Proverbs 3:5-8

God cares about what you wear (1 Timothy 2:9), how you use your body (1 Corinthians 9:27), and if you get a tattoo or not (Leviticus 19:28). He cares as much about your body as He cares about your soul.

The state of your soul will determine the state of your body. (What is inside will show on the outside.)

If Christ that you claim to have on your inside is not showing on the outside, it is likely that you do not have Christ in the inside in the first place.

“Whether we like it or not, people look at your outward appearance and make conclusions about Christianity based on what they see you do with your body. Don't make people turn away from the gospel because of your outward appearance, keep your body blameless”

Memorise: What? Know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? -1 Corinthians 6:19

When God makes you a promise, you can rest assured that He will keep His promise. -Romans 4:20

If God promise you something and after waiting for a while, you begin to think that God lied to you and won't fulfil the promise, it may never come to manifestation.

“If you want to see God's promises concerning you fulfilled meanwhile, you must accept Him as your Lord and Saviour, live holy, have faith, and wait patiently on Him.”

Memorise: Calling a ravenous bird from the east, the man that executeth my counsel from a far country: yea, I have spoken, I will also bring it to pass; I have purposed it, I will also do it. -Isaiah 46:11
