A backslider is one who moves away from Christ rather that moving towards Him, after salvation by grace through faith. Backsliding is forbidden for every believer in Christ because it makes them unfit for the kingdom of God. There is no point in getting saved if one will not make heaven at last. In our walk with God, we must always remember Lot's wife, who was saved but later backslid by looking back with the desire to return to Sodom.

If Satan had the power, he would have killed everyone on the earth and destroyed the world in a moment. But glory be to God, all power in heaven and in earth belong to Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of the Almighty God. Therefore, there is a limit to what Satan can do in your life. He does not have the final say in the issues and affairs of your life. Although he may afflict you, Satan cannot destroy you if you remain faithful to Jesus Christ, the source of all power.

David was a valiant man: he killed a lion, a bear and Goliath without any sophisticated weapon. He was a prophet, a priest and a king yet the spirit of Jezebel cast him down and he was spiritually wounded. Reading the Psalms, and other records about David in the Bible, you will discover that he was very spiritual and close to God. So why did he fall? He yielded to the temptation presented by the spirit of Jezebel.

Compared to eternity, long life on earth is very brief, so let us learn to number our days, that we may know how to live. It will not be long before your pilgrimage on earth comes to an end. Where is your great grandfather? If he's still around then surely his father is no more. And one day it will be your turn to expire. This world is not your home; you are here on a journey that will eventually come to an end someday.

When a man through the study of the scriptures comes to the knowledge of the truth, it makes him wise unto salvation. From that point he begins to speak wisdom out of the abundance of God's word hidden in his heart. The Lord also gives him the tongue of the learned that he may know how to both speak and answer every man. Every true child of God should therefore have a soft, wholesome and tamed tongue to speak edifying and encouraging words.
