ROGUE ANGEL
‘Son of man, take up a lamentation upon the king of Tyrus, and say unto him, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Thou sealest up the sum, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty.’
‘Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone was thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created.’
‘Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire.’
‘Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee.’
Ezekiel 28:12-15(KJV)
This scripture describes a creation of God who was living out the dream of God his Creator, thereby fulfilling his divine destiny.
But one day, this individual decided to abandon the dream of God for his life so as to pursue a different dream.
This new dream appeared to be attractive and ambitious but it was really dark and devious!
‘How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!’
‘For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:’
‘I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.’
Isaiah 14:12-14(KJV)
Since this new dream was fueled by pride (Prov.16:18), it led to the fall of Lucifer to become the rogue angel, the origin and promoter of rebellion against God, the Creator of all things.
The rogue angel is known as ‘the great dragon’, ‘the old serpent’, ‘the Devil’, and ‘Satan’.
Many ignore him, a few openly worship him; but only those in Christ Jesus overcome him (Luke 10:19).
‘And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.’
‘And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years,’
‘And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.’
Rev.12:9; 20:2, 10(KJV)
Today this enemy seeks to steal, and kill, and destroy everyone (John 10:10a) so that everyone’s divine destiny is not fulfilled!
The good news is that Jesus Christ the Son of God has come that anyone may have life and have it to the full so as to fulfill divine destiny(John 10:10b)!!!
For everyone in Christ, the Lord commands that we give no place to the devil (Eph.4:27) by renouncing any form of ungodly pride in our hearts and minds as we walk in unconditional love (Eph.5:1-2) towards God and humanity!
Unconditional love is God’s kind of love (John 3:16,1 John 4:9-10).
God is love (1 John 4:8:16).
Everyone that born of God (John 1:12-13) has the same nature within their recreated spirit so as to walk in that kind of love (1 John 4:7).
This love appears foolish to the world system but it is the greatest demonstration of divine wisdom throughout the universe for all time and eternity!
When God is love to, in and through anyone in Christ, His dreams for that person (divine destiny) are fulfilled!
Beware of the rogue angel-the enemy of God, you, and your divine destiny!
He is only and always bad news!!!
