Satan is envious of you
Satan is envious of your existence because he knows man was created in the image and likeness of God. He understood vividly that man does not look like one of the angels. Man is a special being on its own who can exercise full dominion on earth. Devil knew it will only take a supreme being to take full responsibility here on earth. To him devil when creation was going on, the devil was mindful looking out for which of the angels that will be in charge.
“What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him?” (Psalms chapter 8 verses 4 KJV)
“And they heard the voice of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God amongst the trees of the garden.” (Genesis chapter 3 verses 8 KJV)
Maintain you walk with God
The point in Genesis chapter 3 verses 8 I want to draw out is the fact that God Almighty made it as a point of duty to be visiting man at the cool of day for fellowship. God longs to have communion with God on a daily basis. What an awesome degree of love that man and his God is peace talking as loyal father to his humble son or daughter. You see why devil is envious of you? It is because you have a genuine relationship with God Almighty.
Devil knew there is something unique about God Almighty and man. No other creature has drawn God attention the way man did. To the devil how can God descend this low to be having cordial relationship with man? Devil knew man is in for something significant and that will add to devil’s torment.
There is something unique about you
Satan is envious of your existence because God made it clear that man will be like God Almighty, every thing created will be under man’s care and man will exercise full dominion on earth. As God is in charge of heaven, man will be in charge of the earth. To the devil, how can man that just came into existence be in charge of everything created? What the devil could not get by rebellion, man got it at free will. God freely gave it to man because man was created in God’s image and likeness.
“So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.” (Genesis chapter 1 verses 27 KJV)
Satan is afraid of you
Devil understands that he has made himself an enemy of God that man created in the image and likeness of God is going to deal with him. He knew that the enemy of the father is the enemy of the son. Devil knew that God must have explained to man why the devil was cast out of heaven and was sent to a place of torment.
Devil believes man is aware of everything that brought devil’s downfall and devil is afraid that man is going to come hard on him devil whenever the devil shows up. Devil envy because devil thought that man does not deserve the authority given to him. It broke the heart of the devil when the devil found out that the breath of God flows through us.
“And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.” (Genesis chapter 2 verses 7 KJV)
You are powerful in Christ Jesus
Devil is not as powerful as some persons attribute the devil to be. Devil only tread in deception. That is why he went after Eve according to Genesis chapter three verses one,
“Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?” (Message bible)
That was on the bases the devil built its conversation which is on deception. But here is the good news to everyone who believes and accept the finished work of Christ on the cross, according to the book of Colossians chapter 1 verses 27 says,
“To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:”
Conclusion
As long as you live in this earth as a true believer, devil envys you and you are the devil night mare. Always maintain your fellowship with the Father and you will continue to exercise full dominion on the devil and its agents.
