The devil isn't a foolish being as many Christians assumed. The scripture affirmed, "Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves" (Matthew 10:16). Hence if you tend to call Lucifer a fool you're rather making mockery of yourself.
Someone who was able to convinced about 1/3 Host of angels and arch-angels in Heaven for a Coup d'état to overthrown his creator, his God and owner of his eternal soul . You dare not call such person a fool. However you can only outsmart the devil though the aid of the Holy Ghost, only if you are willing to hearken unto the tiny audible voice of the Holy Ghost for divine instructions and guidance.
Revelation 20:10 "And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever" The devil vividly knew that he has no much time. He had already been judged eternally and he knew where he is heading and presently he is dangerously and wickedly recruiting an end-time Ant-Christ and anti-gospel agents to destroyed the only thing that God loveth with all his soul and might; something which always pleases and gives him eternal Joy and happiness and that is — YOU.
The devil knew he can't challenge and neither contend with God in battle because merely mentioning the name of Jesus Christ by his co-satanist recruited agent in his kingdom, he always fell from his throne as someone who has not eaten for the past 7 days.
However we humanity are his primary target for eternal destruction. It's not because he dislikes or hates us but rather because he desperately hated God and want to ensure that none of his lovely creature
ever get raptures when the trumpet shall sang.
He want to laugh God to scorn and make horrible jest of the Lord God Almighty for casting him out of eternal glory of Heaven. Presently the devil has utilized some dangerous and effective devilish secret weapon against Christian — Against the first born of God creature and inheritance of God's Heavenly kingdom.
The primary weapons of the devil against Christians are derives from Matthew 4:3-11 "And when the tempter came to him, he said, If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread. 4 But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God. 5 Then the devil taketh him up into the holy city, and setteth him on a pinnacle of the temple,
6 And saith unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning thee: and in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone. 7 Jesus said unto him, It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God. 8 Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them;
9 And saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me. 10 Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve. 11 Then the devil leaveth him, and, behold, angels came and ministered unto him"
TOP 3 DEVILISH SECRET WEAPON AGAINST CHRISTIAN

Many Christians find it difficult to fast and pray, food bulldozers and sleep bulldozers. They can eat 5 Plate of Fufu and slept as an heavy truck, while some can snore as a frog while sleeping. Even when you carry them outside they will continue in their heavy bulldozer snoring.

I mean, how are you going to defeat the devil who understandeth the constitutional right written in the scriptures?
3. MONEY AND PLEASURE:
They can lie, gossip, backbite and slander anyone who dare oppose their opinion or suggestion due to their egoistic quest for Church leadership. Moreover, in most cases if you dare removed them from church leadership post, they might forfeit church service.
What about the ushers and church accountants? They are very smart and knew how to siphoned church money into their privates accounts and still jumping in joy of making Heaven.
What about super-glue handy and stingy Christians? They don't give a damn about tithe.
They assumed the pastors and their children are criminal who venture in embezzlement of church tithe. Hence for this reason they don't see the vital need to
pay their tithe in the house of God. They will prefer giving penny to the motherless home and beggar as an exchange for tithe payment —
Stingy Christians.
What about fashion? Some Christians women are ready to spend their last penny on makes-up, jewelries, attachment and fashionistas due to pride. Suddenly they will ponder in their heart "heh, i will wear this cloth and shoe for tomorrow church fellowship, let me go and shew-off this latest design. Let me go and unveiled my nice hair-style to them". I mean, how are you going to overcome the devil with all these pathetic mindset which Christ rejected?
Please my beloved one in Christ, i encourages each and everyone of us to get back to godly track which leadeth unto Calvary because the devil isn't a fool. He has not given-up hope on you. He still believe and much hopeful that you can still fall from that mountain-top of godliness.
Therefore, don't give any loophole to the devil because once he captured any golden chance, he will certainly migrates and extend his diabolic empire of dominion in your life. You must always cultivate the act of been in God’s presence, attends church mid-week activities, fellowship, retreats, crusade, night vigils and programs.
You must cultivate the habit of praying privately and fasting at least once in 2 weeks. You must always ensure perfection and don't relax just because the Lord has broken the yoke of marital stagnancy or poverty in your life.
The devil isn't at rest and neither all those rapid marine agents that filled your neighborhood and church. They are always striving for expansion and aiming for demonic ranks and higher powers. I pray that the Lord will use this piece of info to revitalized the spiritual life of someone today in Jesus name.
Nevertheless, i hope below popular story of a pregnant deer will help to strengthen your spiritual faith and commitment unto God because been a Christian is war. You are a primary target to the kingdom of dankness and you must not give space to the devil to strikes. Your faith must be active and functioning.
THE PREGNANT DEER
In a forest, a pregnant deer is about to give birth. She finds a remote grass field near a strong-flowing river. This seems a safe place. Then suddenly labour pains begin. At the same moment, dark clouds gather around above and lightning starts a forest fire.
She looks to her left and sees a hunter with his bow extended pointing at her. To her right, she spots a hungry lion approaching her. What can the pregnant deer do? Remember she is in labour!!
- What will happen?
- Will the deer survive?
- Will she give birth to a fawn?
- Will the fawn survive?
- Or will everything be burnt by the forest fire?
- Will she perish to the hunters' arrow?
- Will she die a horrible death at the hands of the hungry lion approaching her?
She is constrained by the fire on the one side and the flowing river on the other and boxed in by her natural predators. What does she do? She focuses on giving birth to a new life. The sequence of events that follows are:
- Lightning strikes and blinds the hunter.
- He (the hunter) releases the arrow which zips past the deer and strikes the hungry lion.
- It starts to rain heavily and the forest fire is slowly doused by the rain.
- The deer gives birth to a healthy fawn.
Check the circumstances that took place above and ask yourself whether the deer had any influence in the chain of reactions that happened to her enemies right in front of her very eyes.

Some thoughts are so powerful that they overcome us and overwhelm us. Maybe we can learn something from the deer. The priority of the deer, in that given moment was simply to give birth to a baby.The rest was not in her hands and any action or reaction that changed her focus would have likely resulted in death or disaster. Ask yourself:
- Where is my spiritual focus?
