It is a painful thing seeing Christians who are supposed to live according to the leading of the Lord, however, they are living in the world, serving and pleasing the world instead of God.

It is a sad thing! It is disappointing.

Christians are being carried away with the way of the world. They are more ready to dance to the tune of the world. It is Satan's strategy to win them. Such people choose rather to walk by sight than by faith.

The Arch enemy of mankind, the Devil recognizes this and seizes the opportunity to dangle his "apples" before them to lure them into his snare. He did the same for Jesus Christ. Glory be to God that he failed. Jesus overcame him, Matthew 4:8-11. The same is expected from anyone following Him. After all, He has equipped them to triumph over every temptation because His Spirit of truth is resident in them for help and comfort.

Where is the faith of Christians today? Many have"fallen" and "worshiped" Satan. Something Jesus Christ refused to do.

Why did Satan request Jesus to fall and worship him? He lost the battle in heaven and his position. That is, his place and those of his angels were lost without any hope of recovery. They were cast out of the presence of God forever, Revelation 12:7-8.

The Devil must attempt to deceive the people of God but Christians also must resist him and his deceitful devices.

He has fallen and lost his place. Anyone who wants to "access his glory" must be ready to fall and lose his place in the presence of God. May you not lose your smooth relationship with the Lord your God in the name of Jesus Christ. Therefore, be watchful and prayerful. Do not fall to worship the enemy of your soul. Stay blessed and prepared for the imminent coming of the Lord.
