Good -Life Devotional: PRAYING IN SUPPORT OF CRIMINAL ENTERPRISES REMOVES YOUR  DIVINE PROTECTION — Part 2

By Rev Michael Benson Ajayi
Scripture: 1 John 5:18; Luke 1:74–75
   God's protection is not a license to support evil. The believer's confidence rests in God's power to preserve those who walk in His ways. First John 5:18 declares that the one born of God is kept, and the wicked one does not have unrestricted power over him. This protection, however, must be understood within a life surrendered to God.
  The Bible repeatedly warns that sin exposes people to spiritual danger. When people deliberately embrace wickedness, they give evil an opportunity to operate. Ephesians 4:27 therefore says, “Neither give place to the devil.” James 4:7 gives the answer: “Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.”
  God promised His people deliverance from enemies so that they could serve Him without fear. Luke 1:74–75 speaks of being delivered from the hand of enemies so that we may serve God “in holiness and righteousness.” Deliverance is connected with a life devoted to God, not with helping those who practice evil.
  Psalm 10:3 describes the wicked person who blesses the covetous and renounces the Lord. A Christian must never turn prayer into a blessing upon criminality. Instead, we should pray that criminals repent, abandon their enterprises, make restitution where appropriate, and submit to righteousness.
  Proverbs 28:13 says that whoever confesses and forsakes sin obtains mercy. We should therefore pray for the failure of criminal enterprises, the exposure of wicked schemes, the protection of innocent people, and the salvation of those involved.
PRAYER: Heavenly Father forgive me of my sins against you I believe Jesus Christ died and was raised again for my salvation I receive Him as Lord and saviour and receive the Holy Spirit and power to overcome falsehood Father, expose every criminal enterprise and frustrate every wicked plan. Protect the innocent, deliver those trapped in criminality, and bring perpetrators to repentance and justice. Let no Christian knowingly lend prayer, influence, resources, or support to evil. May Your kingdom of righteousness prevail. In Jesus' name, Amen.
Additional Scriptures: Psalm 140:1–8; Job 5:12; Proverbs 21:15; Romans 12:9; 1 Thessalonians 5:22; 1 Peter 3:10–12.
