Bishop David Oyedepo has revealed how some christians make themselves available for Satan to cheat. He made this revelation during his sermon at the second day of the Week Of Spiritual Emphasis.
The Bible warns us that Satan is the thief, and he delights in stealing from people and cheating them.
The Bishop revealed that christians make themselves available for Satan to cheat when they are too gentle and docile. He said the only way to get something from God as a believer is when you show your violence of faith, because the kingdom of heaven suffers violence, and only the violent take it by force.
“Docile christianity does not pay,” he said. “Let’s come boldly, not sleepy kind of prayer.”
“When we were little kids, there were some folks that looked very cheatable, so we took delight in cheating them. There are believers that look cheatable; they look available for the tormentor. No reaction. No reaction against evil, no reaction against attacks. Father, I dont like what I am going through. God will say thank you for the information, what do you want me to do? Only the violent will take it,” he said.
He went ahead to narrate the account in the Bible, where the Lord sent the Prophet Isaiah to the King Hezekiah to tell him to set his affairs in order because he would soon die. Rather than accept the negative verdict, the king immediately began to tell God why he should live, and God sent Isaiah back to tell him that he had added 15 more years to his life.
