“Satan Cannot Create”

Reference: Proverbs Chapter 13

The devil has no ability to create.

The devil cannot create a new planet.
The devil cannot create a new world.
The devil cannot create a man or woman.
The devil can only pervert what God has created.

The devil makes himself rich yet he is poor.
God makes Himself poor yet He has all the riches.

There are those who present themselves rich though are very poor, and there is the One who presented Himself poor but owned cattle on thousand hills.

Psalm 50:10 “For every beast of the forest is mine, and the cattle upon a thousand hills.”

The devil makes himself rich so that the unbeliever will be poor.

Jesus Christ made Himself poor so that the believer will be rich.

Jesus Christ took crucifixion pain to Himself so that the believer will be free from pain, sickness, and disease.

Jesus Christ took even death upon Himself so that the believer may have eternal life.

The devil makes himself giver of life yet he is a giver of death.

Genesis 3:4-5 “And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die: [5] For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.”

The devil sold death in the garden of Eden, and sells death even today to the world.

Let’s read:

Proverbs 13:1-7 “A wise son heareth his father's instruction: but a scorner heareth not rebuke. [2] A man shall eat good by the fruit of his mouth: but the soul of the transgressors shall eat violence. [3] He that keepeth his mouth keepeth his life: but he that openeth wide his lips shall have destruction. [4] The soul of the sluggard desireth, and hath nothing: but the soul of the diligent shall be made fat. [5] A righteous man hateth lying: but a wicked man is loathsome, and cometh to shame. [6] Righteousness keepeth him that is upright in the way: but wickedness overthroweth the sinner. [7] There is that maketh himself rich, yet hath nothing: there is that maketh himself poor, yet hath great riches.”

All true riches come from God. Riches is not what we own on earth but what we have in Heaven. Those are the true treasures.

Matthew 19:21 “Jesus said unto him, If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and follow me.”

Following Jesus Christ is following riches. Following anything else is following things that will not last.

We continue our reading:

Proverbs 13:8 “The ransom of a man's life are his riches: but the poor heareth not rebuke.”

Jesus Christ is the true ransom from heaven that came to unite men and women with God the Treasure of life.

The unbeliever has no concept of this truth, therefore remains poor eternally.

We continue our reading:

Proverbs 13:9 “The light of the righteous rejoiceth: but the lamp of the wicked shall be put out.”

The light of the righteous is the light that has escaped Adam’s blood into the blood of Jesus Christ.

The lamp of the wicked is the light turned off by unbelief,  remains in the blood of Adam. The lamp of the wicked shall soon be caught up in a nightmare (hell) as soon as the blood of Adam expires.

We continue our reading:

Proverbs 13:10-20 “Only by pride cometh contention: but with the well advised is wisdom. [11] Wealth gotten by vanity shall be diminished: but he that gathereth by labour shall increase. [12] Hope deferred maketh the heart sick: but when the desire cometh, it is a tree of life. [13] Whoso despiseth the word shall be destroyed: but he that feareth the commandment shall be rewarded. [14] The law of the wise is a fountain of life, to depart from the snares of death. [15] Good understanding giveth favour: but the way of transgressors is hard. [16] Every prudent man dealeth with knowledge: but a fool layeth open his folly. [17] A wicked messenger falleth into mischief: but a faithful ambassador is health. [18] Poverty and shame shall be to him that refuseth instruction: but he that regardeth reproof shall be honoured. [19] The desire accomplished is sweet to the soul: but it is abomination to fools to depart from evil. [20] He that walketh with wise men shall be wise: but a companion of fools shall be destroyed.”

Jesus Christ is the Wise Man. He that walks with Christ by faith is wise.

Satan is the foolish man. He that walks with  Satan in unbelief is foolish.

We are either walking with Christ in His blood or with Satan in the blood of Adam. We cannot be in both blood.

We continue our reading:

Proverbs 13:21-24 “Evil pursueth sinners: but to the righteous good shall be repayed. [22] A good man leaveth an inheritance to his children's children: and the wealth of the sinner is laid up for the just. [23] Much food is in the tillage of the poor: but there is that is destroyed for want of judgment. [24] He that spareth his rod hateth his son: but he that loveth him chasteneth him betimes.”

Love chastens.

Hebrews 12:5-10 “And ye have forgotten the exhortation which speaketh unto you as unto children, My son, despise not thou the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when thou art rebuked of him: [6] For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth. [7] If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not? [8] But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons. [9] Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected us, and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live? [10] For they verily for a few days chastened us after their own pleasure; but he for our profit, that we might be partakers of his holiness.”

We are chastened because we are sons and daughters of Holiness.

We conclude our reading:

Proverbs 13:25 “The righteous eateth to the satisfying of his soul: but the belly of the wicked shall want.”

There is only one thing that will satisfy a man or woman, and that is the ever presence of God the Holy Spirit. This is Who is available to the righteous.

The wicked (unbeliever) will always be in need and never come to satisfaction.

In Christ we are heirs of God and co-heirs of Jesus Christ.

Eye have not seen not ear heard what God has in store for those who love Him.

Walk with Christ the Wisdom of God. BELIEVE and confess Christ the riches of God as we’ve revealed Him from the First Adam. Your ransom from heaven to earth, in Christ!
