The Lion’s Menu: No Fruits Allowed

This is a powerful revelation I got from a man of God and I would love to share it with you.

The Bible refers to the devil as a roaring lion. Actually, the devil is a toothless, powerless lion who just scares its ignorant victims by roaring at them.

1 Peter 5:8 [KJV] Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:

However, the Bible tells us that this roaring lion walks about seeking whom he may devour. That means he can’t devour everybody. He has to seek the type of people he may devour.

Now lions don’t eat fruits, they only eat flesh. Flesh will attract the lion anytime.

The Bible talks about the works of the flesh.

In Gal 5:19-21 we read the works of the flesh

Galatians 5:19-21 [KJV] Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,  envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.

That means if we still have the works of the flesh in us, we will attract the devil, and then he may seek to devour us.

In 2025, we must eliminate the works of the flesh from our dealings in our marriages, and every aspect of our lives.

The fruits that the Holy Spirit within us grows are recorded in Galatians 5

Galatians 5:22-24 [KJV] But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. And they that are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.

Let our goal this year be to develop the fruits of the spirit more. Just like Jesus, when he was on earth, the devil could not find any works of the flesh in Him. He lived in total victory.

Do you want to experience total Victory in your life? Then, focus more on developing the fruits of the Spirit because lions (the devil) don’t eat fruits.

God bless you!
