Acts 16:25-34

27 And the keeper of the prison awaking out of his sleep, and seeing the prison doors open, he drew out his sword, and would have killed himself, supposing that the prisoners had been fled. 28 But Paul cried with a loud voice, saying, Do thyself no harm: for we are all here.

33 And he took them the same hour of the night, and washed their stripes; and was baptized, he and all his, straightway.

Message
The charge “Occupy till I come” was an express command given by the Lord Jesus Christ to His disciples (Luke 19:13).
Yesterday, we learnt that to occupy means to take charge of already
conquered territories. As a child of God, it is your responsibility to
exercise authority over your enemy - the devil. Though he was made
perfect in beauty and wisdom, his beauty and wisdom have been tarnished
and corrupted by sin (Ezekiel 28:17).
The devil is now full of destructive wisdom, but his wisdom cannot even
stand the foolishness of God; how much more the wisdom of God at work
in believers (1 Corinthians 1:24). The devil, your accuser, is cunning (Revelation 12:10),
but you can live a triumphant life over him by the Blood of the Lamb,
the word of your testimony (your confessions and proclamations) and by
singing praises to the Lord. Revelation 12:11 says:
“And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.”
Many Christians lose out in the battle of life because they do not know who they are and the nature of the fight they are involved in. You are not fighting against flesh and blood. You are at war with an enemy who has thousands of years of experience with human beings, right from the Garden of Eden, where he attacked Eve. Satan knows his strategy very well. He is a dangerous enemy who doesn’t get distracted. It is therefore imperative that you fight against this enemy with the word of God in prayer. Prayers are very powerful. A prayerful Christian is a powerful Christian. The greatest demoraliser Satan uses is fear. God has not given us the spirit of fear; therefore, we are not to be afraid of the devil (2 Timothy 1:7)! The exact opposite of fear is faith. It is a known fact that Satan loves music. He loves dangerous, perverse and distorted music. The day God made Lucifer who later became the devil, He built musical instruments into his body (Ezekiel 28:13). He was the choir master of heaven. Now, Satan takes more souls to hell through music than through any other means. Angels love music too. The more you sing praises to God, the more you irritate Satan because you remind him of his glorious past and his lost opportunity. Satan is irritated because he knows that whenever you praise God, you are making God happy. God loves music too. The devil also knows that whenever you are praising God, the Almighty will draw nigh to you (Psalm 22:3). Christ was able to overcome the devil through compassion, love and humility. These are indispensable weapons you need..
