WISDOM FOR THE DAY DEVOTIONAL

TOPIC: SATAN’S WILL IS ILLEGAL
“For where a testament is, there must also of necessity be the death of the testator. For a testament is of force after men are dead: otherwise it is of no strength at all while the testator liveth.” – Hebrews 9:16-17 (KJV)
Beloved, for a will to take effect, the testator must first die; otherwise, it cannot be enforced. Jesus died and rose again, and because of this, His will is legally established and fully enforceable. The will of the devil, however, can never be enforced in your life because there is no record of the devil ever dying. His words have no ultimate authority over you.
In order for any declaration to carry weight, the one declaring it must have authority through death. Jesus’ death gives His Word power, while the devil’s words are powerless because he has never died. And the beauty of it is that Jesus rose again, not only to demonstrate victory over death, but also to ensure that no one can cheat you of your rights.
Beloved, I declare that everything the devil has fashioned against you will never prosper. Sickness and disease are leaving your body. Delays, disappointments, and frustration in your life are being canceled right now. The will of the devil has no authority over you.
No more delays in your marriage. No more shame or disgrace. You will not be embarrassed or ridiculed. You will not die prematurely. Refuse to accept the devil’s will for your life, he has no legal right to impose it. Only God’s perfect will shall be fulfilled in your life.
As Hebrews 9:18 reminds us, “Whereupon neither the first testament was dedicated without blood.” Beloved, by the blood of Jesus, the New Testament; representing God’s eternal will for you, has been established forever. Every promise of God is backed by His blood, and nothing can nullify it.
Stand firm in this truth: the Word of God is alive, powerful, and unstoppable in your life. The devil can issue threats, but they will never come to pass. Your life is secured by the blood of Jesus.
