The cliché “After all the Devil tried” why
would you say that when the truth is the
devil isn’t that powerful and yet as Preachers we give more credit and blame to the
devil for our failures, as believers than anyone else I know. It sounds good and makes
congregants, feel wonderful when the
truth of the matter is the devil is only mentioned in the Bible 49 times out of 66
books in the Bible which is very little.
We blame the devil for our finances being
bad, our health, our children, etc. We
wonder why as Saints of God, we always
need an alibi to create a praise break when
we know that many times the devil nor enemy has nothing to do with your circumstances but, its mainly you and the decisions you have made over a period of time
that have caught up with you.
