Devil’s trap is so diverse that the Christians must be sensitive every moment to identify Satan’s devices. The Devil’s intention every day is to disconnect you from Jehovah, and he wants you to keep falling. Did you notice that the manifestation of the Devil is prominent in this generation?

I am scared with the high rate of disbelief in God’s holiness increasing tremendously. Are you afraid about the stained situation of the church? So do I, but today’s message will guide you on steps to take to sustain your holy relationship with the LORD and get you safe from the devil’s trap.

Why Does the Devil Prioritize Setting Traps for the Christians?

1. Satan is a fallen archangel, and he is so wicked that he wants you to fall as well.

The book of Revelation chapter 12 verse 17 says: “And the dragon was enraged with the woman, and he went to make war with the rest of her offspring, who keep the commandments of God and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.”

2. The Devil knows his eternal abode, and he wants all humanity to join him in the lake of fire.

The book of Revelation, chapter 21, verse 10, says: “The devil, who deceived them, was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone where the beast and the false prophet are. And they will be tormented day and night forever and ever.”

3. He foolishly thought having many humans on his side signified winning God as a revenge for the heavenly battle he couldn’t win.

The book of Revelation, chapter 20, verse 15, says: “And anyone not found written in the Book of Life was cast into the lake of fire.”
