Memory Verse: Matt 1:21
21 And she will bring forth a Son, and you shall call His name Jesus, for He will save His people from their sins.” NKJV
Today’s Reading: Gen 3:14-15
So the Lord God said to the serpent: “Because you have done this, you are cursed more than all cattle, and more than every beast of the field; On your belly you shall go, and you shall eat dust All the days of your life. 15 And I will put enmity Between you and the woman, and between your seed and her Seed; He shall bruise your head, and you shall bruise His heel.” NKJV
Words of the Ministry
Today we would be looking at another reason to celebrate the birth of our messiah, the Lord Jesus Christ. Following the fall of man in Genesis, God visited Eden and laid a curse on the serpent who was a physical expression of Satan. As we read from today’s reading, GOD said the seed of the woman would bruise the head of the serpent. I would like to comment a little on this point. The seed of the woman as we learnt is Jesus the Christ, So God in due time sent his son to bruise the head of the serpent, making a public show of his victory at the cross.
The bible records that in Col 2:14-15 that “14 having wiped out the handwriting of requirements that was against us, which was contrary to us. And He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross. 15 Having disarmed principalities and powers, He made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them in it.” We see from this verse that indeed the devil was bruised alongside his demons. The victory was won by Christ and we are to enforce his authority over the earth. Through the sacrificial death of Jesus, the devil has been put under our feet, we are overcomer, we have victory, we are the continuing seed of the woman, bruising the enemy wherever we find them.
Jesus during his earthly walk did the will of the father by undoing the will of the devil. In Act 10.38, the bible said Jesus was anointed with Holy Spirit and power and went about doing good, delivering the oppressed of the devil because God was with him. Saints we have been delivered to deliver others, we have been commissioned as soldiers to extent the kingdom of our God. Just like the Spirit was upon Jesus, it is upon us to extend God’s rule and authority. All thanks to the God-man who became a man for us step into the riches of Christ. Today we have seen another reason to celebrate Christmas which is the God made a promise and fulfilled it. We can now celebrate our victory, we can now bruise the serpent because Jesus was born, amen.
