TOPIC: Don’t Believe The Lies Of The Devil (TREM Devotional 13 July 2022)
“And he knew it, and said, It is my son’s coat; an evil beast hath devoured him; Joseph is without doubt rent in pieces. And Jacob rent his clothes, and put sackcloth upon his loins, and mourned for his son many days.” Genesis 37:33-34 (KJV)
Wisdom For The Day MESSAGE:
Beloved, anything that influences your thought pattern will influence your feeling. Let me paint a scenario to drive home the point I am trying to make. If for instance, you have been rejoicing and celebrating with dancing and singing, then suddenly someone comes to sell a lie to you that he saw your letter of termination from your job. At that moment, if you pay attention to the lie, the joy, the celebration, the dancing and the singing will change to anger and tears immediately. There will be no more joy and celebration because right there and then you just believe that you will be fired from your job.

When the children of Jacob came with the blood-stained dress of Joseph and told Jacob that his son has been killed by an animal, he went into mourning. He was shown the coat of many colors as evidence. But it was a lie they sold to him. Yet his feelings changed immediately. He thought and said that his end had come. He thought he will no longer see his son. Why? Simply because somebody came and sold a lie to him.
You will be surprised how people today believe a lie concerning their business, family, health, job, career, finance, and academic life. The devil is painting all kinds of negative pictures; telling you that you will not come out of your present predicament. I want to encourage you that the word of God is more powerful. God’s word can never fail. If God has said something concerning you, it will surely come to pass. “God is not a man, that he should lie; Neither the son of man, that he should repent: Hath he said, and shall he not do it? Or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?” Numbers 23:19 KJV
