If I were the devil

1 Peter 5:8-11

- The devil is real from Genesis to Revelation.
- Satan, father of lies, accuses and condemns us, appears as angel of light to seduce us.
- Evil, cruelty and sin destroy families. It brings pain and bondage on mankind.
- The devil knows we are the height of God's creation.

If I were the devil, I want people to :
- Challenge Biblical Authority
- Doubt God's Power, then Despair about Life
- Distort God's Grace
- Promote Complacency among Christians
- Attack the Family Structure
- Exalt Greed & Selfishness

But in spite of seeming success in some areas, if I were the devil I would cringe in fear :
- Redemption!
- The Bible
- Transformation

What to Do?
- Be self-controlled & alert (1 Peter 5:8)
- Resist devil (1 Peter 5:9; Ephesians 6:12)
- God will restore (1 Peter 5:10)
- Fulfill your destiny! Impact your world (1 Peter 5:11)
