OUR CHIEF 'EVANGELIST'
…and they brought to Him all sick people who were afflicted with
various diseases… and He healed them.
Matthew 4: 24
Did you know that the devil is our chief evangelist? Yes! This is true because were it not for the problems he has been giving to men, only
very few people will seek God. For this, we can say that the very gospel Satan thinks he is fighting can be said to be 'helped' by him if you play your role well as a disciple of Christ.
In the verse above, we have Jesus, Peter, Andrew, James and John - a church of five and hospitals were emptied. All kinds of problems that the devil caused drove men to Jesus for solution.
Look out for the oppressed around you. Their problems have driven them to you for solution. Do something. Pray for the oppressed. Until you get men healed, stop criticizing them for going to false prophets. Truth always prevails. If you have the truth, let it solve problems.
About ten years ago, a young man who was a banker came to our church because he defecated blood. Before that day, he never agreed to go to
any church. He felt there was no need for it. Instead, he spent his
time at beer joints drinking with friends. As he was prayed for, a
‘skeleton’ went out of him and walked away. In the end, he that was
carried in walked out by himself. All these things happened to him but
he got saved and he was healed. Satan gave him problems that made him
agree to come to church.
Jesus came for the 'sick' and to destroy all the works of the devil. Give the oppressed around you the Jesus that you have. This is the only way we can win the battle against our chief 'evangelist', the devil.

Inspiring Quote
The devil is no idle spirit, but a vagrant, runagate walker, that never rests in one place. The motive, cause, and main intention of his
walking is to ruin man.
