Deception is a terrible weapon the devil uses. The devil uses deception because he knows you are too brilliant for him to confront you on the grounds of the knowledge you already possess. Therefore, he launches his attacks from the premise of your ignorance. The Bible tells us that, “my people are destroyed because of lack of knowledge”. Not because the devil is so powerful that you need some extra spiritual gymnastics to defeat him. What you are lacking is knowledge.

Jesus gave us the victory over death.

Death, (the grim reaper) has no power over a believer except if you foolishly placed your life in his hands e.g. by your mouth. However, there are a lot more people out there (unbelievers) who are yet to be born-again and are vulnerable to the attacks of the devil.

Here is your take home truth (knowledge) today. You have the power and authority to save those that are yet to be born-again. You can save them by giving them the gospel of Jesus Christ, to give them the same authority you have over death.

However, instead of taking the gospel of Christ to the unsaved the devil deceive you by telling you someone else will do it. As innocent as this lie of the devil is, this is the very reason why there are many unbelievers in the world today.


Then saith he unto his disciples, the harvest truly is plenteous but the laborers are few. Matthew.9:37.

As at 2015, there were about 2.4 billion Christians in the world. Imagine if each of those 2.4 billion Christians took responsibility to lead one unbeliever each to Christ, we will have 2.4 billion more Christians by now.

Do not give in to that deceit of the devil. If you don’t take the gospel to the world nobody will. The laborers are indeed very few. Would you rather add to the burden of the few faithful laborers and make yourself a liability to the kingdom or you will man-up and step into what God has called you to do, a kingdom harvester (a Holy Ghost reaper).

This is how we win against the grim reaper. By getting to the harvest first.
