What The Devil Knows About God— More Than Most Christians By Joseph Akinrinola
JOB 1:6-12 Sure, the devil is both God’s enemy and ours. And yet, he knows quite a lot about Him, more than most Christians know. Understanding one another is the backbone of a strong relationship. More often than not, believers lose a lot of benefits from God because we do not know Him intimately. Ironically, the longer some people claim to have known God, the less they know about His personality. What you know about a person will determine how far you could trust him. It is also this understanding that will determine how far you can defend him before others. In this message, I will share a few areas where the devil is more knowledgeable about God. That will achieve two purposes. One, it will be a measurement of your relationship with God. Two, it will challenge you to develop an intimacy with God so you may get His best for your life. With little ado, let me run through a few things the devil knows about God but are hidden from most Christians.
First, he acknowledges who God is. The Scriptures say the demons believed in their one God, and they feared. You believe that there is one God. Good! Even the demons believed that and they shuddered. (James 2:19) A study of that passage reveals a type of fear. Demons feared God for His judgment on them on the last day. With the state of Christianity today, do you live with that consciousness as you go about your daily life? While God wants his children to have referential fear for Him, they must have the seriousness of his judgment on His last day in view. Though demons fear the day of God’s judgment, yet they do not repent. I liken this to Christians who claim to love and fear God, yet they live in contrast. Second, the devil knew God to keep his word. (See Job 1:9-1, Luke 4:9-12, Psalm 9:12) Though the devil wanted Jesus to apply the word of God wrongly, Jesus knew God will keep his promises without the devil telling Hm. While answering God, the devil acknowledged he was keeping his promises over Job. Many times, believers forget who they are in Christ. Such believers are losing their faith during the storms of life, though they have Jesus in the boat. At such a time, they forget what God did in the past and His promises to them. God has not promised us a storm-free life, but securing us through all tides of life. This should be your assurance.
