It Is Written | Lord’s Day Sermon | 12th May, 2024 | Martin Obono

The devil's greatest weapon is deception. We see his deviousness in display when in Genesis, he successfully deceived Eve and by consequence, Adam into disbelieving what God had told them. That one event set that pace for his trade of deception throughout the course of human history; seeking to sway the hearts of men away from the truths God has established in his word with the sole intent of turning as many away from their creator. Not resting on his laurels, he went on the tempt the Lord himself, showing the full weight of his war against the one true God. It was from this encounter that the tides were turned and the Lord himself provided our way out of whatever the devil throws at us in seeking to turn our hearts away from God. This ammunition is found in the scriptures and Christ's example shows us that no temptation has overcome us that is not common to man.

Our Lord himself experienced the whole gamut of temptation and showed us how we can overcome. This sermon points us to the power of Christ through his word to enable us stand against any temptation that comes our way. We have our strength firmly rooted in God's written word.
