2 Corinthians 4 – Pastor Mac Daily DEVO

And even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing. In their case the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelievers, to keep them from seeing the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God. ‭‭‭‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭4:3-4‭ – Paul is seeking to make it clear to the Corinthian church that the message he is sharing to them and the world of the Gospel is clear, honest, and without any hidden agendas. Any who are willing to truly listen to his words will hear and see for themselves the light of the Gospel. Yet some have closed themselves off from the truth, veiled from seeing. Through their rejection, Satan, the “god of this world,” has blinded them from seeing the truth of the gospel and he is working overtime to keep their eyes from seeing the light. Let’s keep this in mind as we are sharing with others about Jesus. When we have someone who rejects our words and rejects anything of the Lord, remember Satan is feeding their “blindness.” He is daily seeking to keep their heart cold to the gospel and their eyes darkened from seeing the light. So truly this is a battle we are in when it comes to the Gospel. We are seeking to fight against the holds the devil has on those who don’t yet know Jesus. Pray for God’s power to break the holds of Satan, allow the fruits of the Spirit to be evident in your life with these relationships, and if the doors are opening to opportunities to share with them about Jesus…take it. The enemy isn’t taking a day off, but remember neither is Jesus. The question is are we being lazy in the fight that Jesus has called us to? Let your light shine and let it be seen by those still under Satan’s yoke. While the “god of the world” may appear to have victory in some people’s life, Jesus, the One True God, is able to easily take the victory for Himself. I love you, but Jesus loves you more – Mac – Daily DEVO 3126
