“He stripped all the spiritual tyrants in the universe of their sham authority at the Cross and marched them naked through the streets.” ~ Colossians 2:15 (MSG)
REFERENCE:
Colossians 2:11-15 (MSG)
The enemy of man, and especially believers, is the devil. He is the serpent of old that has hounded man from the Garden of Eden. He is responsible for many tears, pains, divorces, fears, failures, sicknesses, etc. Our fight is against him; for we wrestle not against flesh and blood but against principalities and power. When Jesus died on the cross, he gave us a complete victory.
April is the month of the death and resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ. This month, God wants you to experience the purpose, power, and privileges of the cross of Jesus Christ. The essence of the cross of Jesus Christ is total victory over satan and all His works. If satan did it, can do it, or is planning to do it, Jesus took care of it, destroyed it, and delivered you from it.
Our text shows Jesus’ victory parade over the devil. He took the devil’s power over you and nullified it; tore all the legal papers of accusations satan raises against you; stripped the devil of his sham (pretend) authority and led him naked (exposed for the defeated foe he is). Jesus disarmed satan of his weapons, dethroned him from his seat of power, and dispossessed him of everything He stole from you. That is the basis for your total victory.
By His victory parade, Jesus publicly showed everyone that the devil that bullies and keeps you awake at night and steals your peace, joy, job, relationships, health, life, etc., has been made ineffective. You now have the victory. God will cause you to overcome every opposition or opponent. You will record new achievements and successful outcomes, gain the upper hand in every contest, and get great success, more wins, and favorable results. It is a total victory.
This will be a month of complete victory for you. It will be an all-encompassing, all-around, all-inclusive, and comprehensive victory. It will affect every area of your life – job, exams, studies, job proposals, targets at work, admission to school, direction over a family dilemma, etc. There shall be victory shouts in your house this month. You will have victory songs, victory testimonies, victory stories, and victory phone calls. There shall be victory all around you.
