We know that the whole world lies in wickedness, and most often than not people suffer the blunt of wickedness when they have done nothing. We have learned about Job, Joseph, Samson, and Daniel, who did nothing to merit the pinch of wickedness they suffered. Indeed we know that the whole world lies in wickedness and we must do all we can to escape the wickedness in the world.

[1 John 5:18‭-‬20 KJV] “We know that whosoever is born of God sinneth not; but he that is begotten of God keepeth himself, and that wicked one toucheth him not. And we know that we are of God, and the whole world lieth in wickedness.

And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life”.

The truth is, there are many people in prison because of wickedness, some are sick because of wickedness, many more are poor because of wickedness. Wickedness is real and wreaking havoc in many families and communities. There are times when people hate you for no apparent reason. There are times when people perpetuate wickedness against you for no apparent reason

In this month of September, we want to put on the warfare gear and begin to gain some grounds which some of us have lost to the devil and principalities. In the text above, we read that when the sons of God saw the daughters of men, that they were beautiful, they took them wives. All the daughters of men did was to be seen by these angels who did not keep their estate.

[Genesis 6:1‭-‬2 KJV] “And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them, That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose”.

There are many troubles in life that just began by the devil taking notice of you. All of the troubles of Job began started when the devil took notice of him. When the Prince of Persia locates you, he begins to trouble and sifts you. All Job did wrong was to have been located and weighed by the devil. Sometimes, as we walk through life, devils take notice of us and they decided to tempt and try us. That is what happened in the days of Job.

To escape the wickedness that is in the world, we need to do the following;

Walk under the covering of the blood;

Once you have the seal of the blood on your life, your goods are kept safe. The Bible says when the angel sees the blood, he will pass, even the angel of death. You must walk under the cover of the blood. You must take cover under the blood. Just as Israel was redeemed from the angel of death in Egypt when they stayed under the covering of the blood, you shall also be delivered. Just as Rehab, the harlot, and her household were redeemed from the destruction of Jericho when they stayed under the covering of the scarlet thread, you shall be delivered.

Walk under the covering of the Spirit;

You will escape the wickedness in the world when you learn to walk under the witness of the Spirit. You need the roar of the Spirit in your life. We have the Spirit of God that cries Abba Father. The Spirit in you has a voice and a roar that cries Abba Father. There must be a roar of the Spirit in your heart.

Ephesians 1:13 teaches that the Holy Spirit is given to each of us at new birth as a seal. We are sealed with the Holy Ghost when we believe and trust the Lord.

Ephesians 4:30, however, teaches and exhorts us not to grieve the Holy Ghost with which we are sealed unto the day of redemption.

We know that as many as are led by the Spirit of the Lord, they are the Sons of God. They shall escape the wickedness in the world.

Walk under the covering of the word

We know that the word of God from the beginning is Jesus Christ (See John 1:1-14). We also know that this same Jesus Christ is the power and wisdom of God. He is the express image of the father and the embodiment of the Godhead. Honestly, to walk under the covering of the word is to continue in the doctrine. It is to allow the word of God to direct and influence your decisions.

When Jesus Christ encountered the devil in the wilderness, He overcame by the written word. You can escape the wickedness in the world when you walk in the word of God. The word of God is the light that shines on our paths, lest we miss the way. Walking under the covering of the word is to continue in the doctrine and wisdom of the word of God.

I believe with all of my heart that as we walk under the covering of these Witnesses that bear witness on earth, we shall escape the wickedness in the world.

Stay blessed, I love you!
