You whom I have taken from the ends of the earth, and called from its farthest regions and said to you, ‘You are My servant, I have chosen you and have not cast you away

Isaiah 41.9

The Church of Jesus is identified by the Creator and Lord of the Universe as His greatest treasure, which the devil will never steal. It is like a closed, untouchable garden. Therefore, even if the men of the world gather and rise up against the work of the Holy Spirit on Earth, which gives Jesus the glory due to Him, He will raise His banner and go against the enemy as soon as he tempts even one of the redeemed. We are saved by the blood shed on the cross (Revelation 12:11).


For the Church of Christ to be built, God called people from the ends of the earth – peoples who were lost in sin. He brought them back to a living hope through the grace poured out on them (1 Peter 1:3). Today, we are free from the devil’s clutch, but he is still allowed to tempt us. However, if we persevere in following the Lord, the Head of the Church, we will be safe. He is the only one who went to Hell and defeated the devil (Colossians 2:15).


There are excellent nations that stand out in many aspects. However, the only ones with special victories are those who have learned from the Savior to do God's work with respect and faith. People who go to church and convert to Jesus become victorious over the power of evil. Temptations only happen to those who are not firmly established in the Lord.


Jesus prepared us with His words and His example, so that we may follow in His footsteps. We must walk the ground where the Master walked; thus, the evil one will not be able to touch what is ours. God is the Refuge during the storms of life, the Fortress to face our defeats, and the help whenever the evil one seeks to defeat us. We are infinitely greater than the prince of darkness because we have Christ in us.

  

We serve the Master of masters and Lord of lords. Just as He demonstrated humility in His days on Earth, we also need to be humble daily. Never hope to fight the devil, for Jesus has already fulfilled God's plan in favor of those who call upon Him in spirit and in truth. God made us His chosen generation, set apart for His glory (1 Peter 2:9). Christ is in our hearts to never let us fall into the traps of Hell. We are free in Him!


The decree from the Father's throne involves us as His special people, and this is a great responsibility. He has given us power over the enemy, so we must go where He has determined to do the work (Luke 10:19). Being under God's orders, we will not be overcome by the devil, but rather we will emerge victorious from his attacks. The Lord is our Strength, to put the evil one in his place: under our feet (Romans 16.20).


The Most High chose us, and did do not reject us, because we were recreated in Christ for the good works prepared by Him (Ephesians 2:10). We possess all the qualities to fulfill them; we only need to be His agents and receive people from all over the world to mold them in His image and likeness!
