DAILY PRAYER (BY SPURGEON)

Great God, we bless you that the battle between yourself and the powers of darkness has never been uncertain. We praise your name, that now it is forever sure to end in victory. Our hearts this morning, amidst the struggles of the present day, would look back to the conflicts of Calvary, and see how our Lord broke the dragon’s head there forever.

Oh help us to know this morning that we are contending with a vanquished enemy, that we go forth to fight against one who, with all his subtlety and all his strength, has already been overthrown by him who is our covenant head, our leader, our husband, our all.

Amen.

VERSE OF THE DAY (COMMENTARY BY SPURGEON)

“Now the serpent was the most cunning of all the wild animals that the LORD God had made.” (Genesis 3:1)

The only way to repel Satan’s subtlety is by acquiring true wisdom. Again I repeat it: man has none of that wisdom in himself. What then? Here is true wisdom: if we would successfully wrestle with Satan, we must make the Holy Scriptures our daily resort. Out of this sacred book we must continually draw our armor and our ammunition. We must lay hold on the glorious doctrines of God’s Word—make them our daily meat and drink. So will we be strong to resist the devil and joyful in discovering that he will flee.

PRAY FOR THE NATIONS

This week, we’re praying for the Ahmadi of India.

This ethnic group of 75,000 people have most likely never heard the good news of Jesus. Since there are no Christians among them, they never will hear the gospel unless someone brings it from the outside.

Pray that God would send missionaries to the Ahmadi of India.

RECOMMENDED RESOURCE

Read Revelation — Where Satan Loses and Jesus Wins

Revelation, the last book of the Bible, shouldn’t produce fear about the end times (or supply us with a chart or timeline); instead, Revelation should produce amazement about Jesus. This book gives us a stunning picture of Jesus crushing Satan and saving his people forever.

A really helpful guide to understanding this amazing, faith-inspiring book is Between the Cross and the Throne by Matthew Y. Emerson. This simple Bible study will help you understand the story, symbols, and good news proclaimed in Revelation. You’ll walk away confident and hopeful.

We need to understand the book of Revelation, and I know this guide will help you.
