The serpent |
In Revelation 12:9, Satan the deceiver was likened as the serpent, but in Mathew 10:16, Jesus himself told us to be wise as serpents.. WHY?
I came to discover that the serpent as a creature is one of the wisest creeping animals ever created. Take some time to study the live and characteristics of a serpent then you will better appreciate why Jesus referred us to the serpent like live. There are So many ways one can be wise, but I will like to mention What I Am inspired about as the basis or foundation
of wisdom which the Bible explains in clear terms.
1. Fear the lord. Proverbs 1:17
let the fear of GOD in your life be contagious. This simply means that others around you should be able to feel it.
2. Discipline Yourself to divine Instructions through the word of GOD. Proverbs 1:17b
The serpent in the Garden of Eden was clever and, if believers were even half as shrewd as he was, they would find that they would help their own cause no end in the situations that confront them (Acts 22:25-29).
The Serpent is very cunning and can easily get to you without you knowing what it is doing.
The serpent became known as "wise", it was not because of its own innate positive knowledge, but of its wisdom in hiding away from all observation; and because of its association with one of the names of Satan (that old serpent) who "beguiled Eve" (2Cor. 11:3, 14).
To be wise as a serpent means to have basic,fundamental knowledge of what areas you can go into and what areas you cannot go into – and to always be on your guard against the snares, traps, and deceptions that the dark side will try and throw at you in order to try and knock you off course, or try to enslave you into a dark area or into a dark side group of people.
In conclusion- We have to be wise, smart, sober, vigilant and always on guard against Satan, his horde of demonic spirits, and all of the bad and evil people who are out there living this life on the dark side.
Blessings....
