Revelation chapter number 12. I want to— I want you to see something. Um, let's start the reading from verse 7. Revelation chapter number 12, verse 7. There's a word there you have to read with an understanding. Look at it. And there was war in heaven. Michael and his angels fought against the dragon. The dragon fought and his angels How? How did the devil become the one that now say, these are my angels? What did he tell the angels of God that made them become angels of the devil in a moment of time? Look at it in verse 8. And prevailed not, neither was their place found anymore in heaven.

Meaning that he must have promised them a total takeover. It will be about us now.

Did he achieve it? No. Look at verse 9.

And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent called the devil and Satan, which deceived the whole world, and was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him. They became fugitives.

From being a rebel group that could take over to becoming fugitives that will only wander around the earth. Look at verse 10: And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, by the word of their testimony, and they were not delivered unto death. All right, what did he tell them? Then what's their fate? Look at what the Bible said concerning them in Jude. Jude has just one chapter. Look at what the Bible says in Jude 1:6. Jude 1:6. And the angels which kept not their estate but left their own habitation, he had reserved in everlasting chains under darkness until the judgment of the great day. Mean that these beings will be judged and they will burn eternally. But was that the promise?

No.

What did he tell Adam? What did he tell Eve? Sorry, in Genesis chapter number 3, let's start reading from verse 4. If I'm correct, Genesis 3, let's start from verse 4. Look at it, read this, 1, 2, 3, go. And the serpent said unto— let's start from verse 2 so you can understand the context. And the woman said to the serpent, we may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden. But the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God had said, you shall not eat of it, neither shall you touch it, lest you die. What did the devil say? You shall not show. All right, so God said don't eat, when you eat it you will die. The devil outrightly said what God said is not true. It means that for Eve to be deceived, she had to first believe God as a liar. If the Bible says that the soul that sinneth shall die, you must believe contrary to what God said to live in sin. I'm telling you, you cannot rebel against God until you have first perceived him as a liar. Are you following what I'm saying here? The devil said, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, you shall— then he didn't— when he said, you shall not surely die, and so it was not objected, he went into full-blown one. Look at verse 5 quickly. Verse 5: For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof Then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.

God knows.

You see, sometimes you just read this thing and just— so, okay, where is the lie in this statement? For God knows that the day you eat of it, your eyes shall be opened. When they ate of it, was their eyes open?

Yes.

But their eyes was open unto death, not unto life. Before, their eyes were wide open unto life. You know why? Because they were naked and they were not ashamed. It means that it was— they were more conscious of the glory that covers. The moment their eyes got open, though the devil told them your eyes will be open, but he didn't tell what kind The first thing they saw was their nakedness, and the next feelings that came was shame. What kind of promise is this that looks so good but yet disastrous? The devil is a pathetic liar, lying to people who know that he's a liar, and yet they still believe him. Sometimes you see people fall for things like money ritual. Check, go and check people who are living on charms. It doesn't matter the kind of car they drive, you know that there's something missing. There's a glory that only comes from the presence. See, godliness with contentment, great gain. There is something money can't buy— the presence, the presence, the backing of God, that God is saying, this is my Son in whom I'm well pleased. You don't have to be a pastor to enter that status, all right? Jesus had not started ministry when God said that. He's lived 30 years sinless life. When you see where the glory of God covers a man, you'll be amazed. Money can't buy that. The biggest boys who were doing Yahoo 10, 15 years ago, where are they now? Some of them ran mad on the street. You see girls running mad. A Yahoo boy will pick a girl, then send Uber or bike to take her back to her house. Then she gets there and she shares the spoils of war with her friends. Look at what he bought for me. We're chopping life. Chopping life. And the guy knows that he's using the girl, and it will get to a point that there's nothing left of their life than regret and pain and misery. Meanwhile, to follow God's instruction for your life, the things that will come from that relationship, nobody can give you. I've seen people, they make so much boast in their charms. You wake up in the middle of the night, you see, it is— it takes stupidity to insult Christianity, I'm telling you. You wake up middle of the night, you carry sacrifice. Sometimes they say tie this clothes or carry it naked, you take it to a junction. Somebody could see you and shoot you, and you die in front of the food you have prepared for your— If money rituals is good, all our balis will do it for their children. You need to see these guys, how they want their own children. Stay away from it. When the devil gives with one hand, he's taking with 10. The devil give anybody anything? Go and check those who went to river goddess to ask for children. They we saw. That child will be behaving like the devil. I'm just, I'm just telling you, go and check the history of anything the devil gives. Not only will it not last, it destroys the receiver.

It does.

It is the blessings of God that makes it, that maketh rich and have no sorrow. Everything else, you will cry. It's just a matter of when. Everything else, you cry. It's just a matter of when. Say it again: I choose to trust the Lord. Say it again: I choose to trust the Lord. Now, how, how, how do you feel as a young man who have to be dating sugar mommies to buy iPhone 15. Then somebody else who never have to devalue himself is buying something more. So all the compromise— this is what you can afford. Say a young girl is sleeping with somebody's husband, say, yeah, the man just bought me a house. Until the wife catch you, huh? She will beat. The future is not certain for a wrong girl. One bottle of acid away, just one. A touch of acid, there's no peace. There's no peace.

There's no peace.

There's no peace. Everywhere checking who saw me, who saw us as we're entering. Did anybody see us?

Are you sure? Are you sure?

Are you sure? Hope your phone is not being tracked. Ah, there's no peace. Ask your neighbor, do you have peace? Hope if EFCC walks in here now, you will not run under the chair. I say, I know the church, I know the church. There's no peace, huh? What kind of life are you living that they must not post your picture? There's no peace, there's no peace. See, If it is Gary, you are drinking with granola and there is peace. You are wealthier than the man who has the world and doesn't have peace. No amount of money in life can buy peace. There's something these people used to go and do. They perform rituals. Then the herbalist will give them corn. I say, go and pour it for a chicken. Any amount of corn the chicken eats, that's the amount of years you have left. Then you see, look up, look at you. Do you know what your uncle is doing? My friend, look here. Look up, you see a full-grown man will now be begging the chicken, please eat, eat more.

But in Christ Jesus we have all that pertains to life and godliness. We have been blessed with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ. My God, this is what we have!

Indeed, when a man has Christ, he has everything. He has everything. Please sit down. Praise God. Say it again, I'm blessed. Say it again, I'm blessed.

I am blessed.
