Vigilance, your duty in the divine security
1 Peter 5:8 “Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour”.
Most often than not, your degree of alertness or vigilance determines how fast you can escape the snares and traps of the enemy. The Bible says, “The devil, is like a roaring lion, sneaking around to find someone to attack”. Meaning that, the devil is not just moving to and fro for sightseeing. Remember that, he is too smart for that. His motive for walking about is to do evil.
That’s why God is admonishing believers to be vigilant. Being vigilant means that, you are watchful, you are on the lookout and you are observant. But knowing very well that the devil operates first and foremost from the spirit since he is a spirit, your vigilance must be spiritual.
You see, you can’t use your biological or natural eyes to be on the lookout when the devil is in the game. You can’t also set CCTV cameras on the devil, it will amount to nothing. You can only maintain a spiritual vigilance on the devil and his activities with the eyes of your spirit or your spiritual senses.
Not being alert in the spirit and failing to pick fast negative spiritual signals coming from the devil may cause you a lot.
As a Christian, your success in life is not only dependent on your ability to see “blessings or the goodies God has for you”, you must also master your spirit to pick fast satanic activities that wants to stand against your life and resist it fast.
Be vigilant and you will not be taken by satanic surprises
