1 Corinthians 10:19-20, Sacrifice to Devils?

Posted on Posted in Devotions Tagged with , ,

1 Corinthians 10:19-20 What say I then? that the idol is any thing, or that which is offered in sacrifice to idols is any thing? But I say, that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to devils, and not to God: and I would not that ye should have fellowship with devils.

When the believers go to the temple and be a part of the temple feast, is he not partaking of the worship? He may not think anything of the idol but the fact that this sacrifice is brought to devils. Be aware of the spiritual implication of such actions. Demonic power culminates in Satan worship. Satan is the evil one, the prince of this world.

We know that Satan possess great powers to torment mankind. Job suffered under the onslaught of Satan. God protected him. Mary Magdalene was possessed with seven devils before she was glorious saved by Jesus. The demons departed out of her, never to bother her again when she received Jesus Christ, the Son of God, in her heart. She was the first to be at the tomb of Jesus on resurrection day. She was the first to see the resurrected Christ. She loved her Lord. Jesus comforted her.

Two angels were sent to comfort her heart after Jesus’ burial – John 20:12-13 And seeth two angels in white sitting, the one at the head, and the other at the feet, where the body of Jesus had lain. And they say unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? She saith unto them, Because they have taken away my Lord, and I know not where they have laid him. Our Lord Jesus Himself appeared to Mary Magdalene comforting her heart –  John 20:15-16 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? whom seekest thou? She, supposing him to be the gardener, saith unto him, Sir, if thou have borne him hence, tell me where thou hast laid him, and I will take him away. Jesus saith unto her, Mary. She turned herself, and saith unto him, Rabboni; which is to say, Master.

May never looked back since here deliverance from the demons rather looked to Jesus who gave her life eternal and peace and joy. May God’s people who have tasted of the goodness of God not return to their idolatrous past. Amen.
