Regularly Mow Your Lawn

Luke 4:13 says “when the devil had finished all this tempting, he left him until an opportune time”. From this verse we understand that the devil and his demons tempt us when they see an opportunity. It is said that if you travel to any place and don’t find a Chinese person there you should leave because there are no opportunities in the land. This is a joke of course, but there is a lesson to be learnt in it. People go where there are opportunities and people flee places without opportunities. Demons are that way too. If we give them an opportunity they will tempt us that’s why Ephesians 4:27 says “give no opportunity to the devil”. The only way we can block the opportunity available to demons is if we stay connected to God by daily Bible reading to practice what we read. Reading The Bible is like mowing your lawn. If you mow your lawn regularly, it will be well kept and there will be no weeds. But if you don’t mow it regularly, your lawn will be overgrown and soon weeds will appear. The Word of God is the lawn mower and God’s Holy Spirit is the man operating the lawn mower your mind is the lawn and weeds are opportunities for demons to operate in your life.
