Ephesians 6:11 (KJV)
Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.

When a robber plans a heist, one of their priorities is to neutralise any guard dogs that might alert to the robber’s intrusion or attack them. Incapacitating these animals is seen as the most effective way to eliminate potential noise or resistance. One of the more common strategies is to lace the dog’s food with poison. The bait looks harmless, but it’s deadly. The enemy uses the same strategy.

When the devil seeks entry into your life, he targets your vulnerable areas and entices compromise through things that look appetising but are laced with poisonous repercussions. As a child of God, no weapon formed against you can prosper, but you must fortify every area of your life through the Word. The devil is fighting a losing battle, don’t give him an entry point.

PRAYER FOR TODAY
Father, help me to recognise and reject every subtle trap of compromise. Strengthen me through Your Word so no deception or enticement of the enemy finds access into my life.

PROPHETIC DECLARATION
I refuse every enticement from the enemy’s camp! Every area of my life is fortified in Christ through His Word. Every trap and snare of the devil is exposed now, in Jesus’ Name!
