Man is bound to have challenges in life because of the power
that is controlling his environment. Since Satan has been cast down into the
earth, he has been making it unbearable place for mankind. So he uses difficult
means to wage war with man and all that God has bless him with. Man is born
into affliction according to the scripture “Although affliction cometh not forth of the
dust, neither doth trouble spring out of the ground; Yet man is born unto
trouble, as the sparks fly upward.” Job 5:6-7.
Devil who is very cunning in his ways and full of tricks has many
devices which he uses to afflict man on earth, this result to sickness, famine
and untimely death.
One trap he uses to
capture man is sin, he will come to tempt man, once he or she fall into it is
very easy for him and his cohort to strike either with sickness or death or any
other calamity.
Sin open door for the devil to carry out his plan in man’s
life. “…whoso breaketh an hedge, a serpent shall bite him.” Eccl 10:8. Those that are already save by grace are not
left out in his plan, he always seek for who did not take his/her Christian
race serious in order to devour such fellow, John 10:10. That is why he that thinketh he stand should be careful
let he fall.
