INTRODUCTION
“Be self-controlled and alert. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaming lion looking for someone to devour”. 1Peter 5:8. “ For they (devils) cannot sleep till they do evil, they are robbed of slumber till they make someone fall”. Prov.4:16 .
The above two passages indicate that, Satan and his accomplices chase Christians everyday to make them fall. The question this book is asking is why are they always against us? Why do they try to make us fall, or cause others to do the evil things which they are to separate themselves from? These are some of the questions believers want answers to. We thank God that this book provides answers to all these questions and helps believers to know and combat the hold Satan may have in their lives.
This book is therefore recommended to all Christians so that they may know what is expected of them and not to fall prey to Satan and his accomplices. Again this book reveals the Lord’s will concerning faithful worship without any fear of evil. But to know what the Lord’s Will is, in order to worship Him faithfully without any fear of evil. (Eph.5:17, Prov.1:33). Finally this book will appeal to all readers and also remain beneficial to especially those who desire salvation.
All the scriptures were taken from NIV/TNIV unless otherwise stated. However, some statements in these versions seem to be incorrect but in order not to complicate it, I want the editors to maintain it. So if any statement quoted directly from any Bible Version in this book is confusing, please refer to KJV or any Bible of your choice for better understanding.



CHAPTER 1
SATAN IS THE RULER OF THE WORLD
Satan was once a leading angel of God called Lucifer. Due to his pride and subsequent rebellion against the Almighty God, whose kingdom cannot be shaken nor overthrown (Heb.12:28-29), he was cast down to the earth where he is known as Satan—the devil.
“How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning, how art thou cast down to the ground, which didst weaken the nation. For thou said in thy heart I will ascend into heaven. I will exalt my throne above the stars of God. I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation in the side of the north. I will ascend above the heights of the clouds. I will be like the Most High. Yet thou shall be brought down to the side of the pit”. Isaiah 14:12-15. (KJV)
The above scripture clearly explains that in spite of the evil plans of Satan, the Almighty God was able to cast him and his followers down, because the kingdom of God cannot be shaken. The coup to overthrow the kingdom of God could not succeed, but he won a third (1/3) of the angels, who have become the “evil spirits”. (Rev.12:4)
When Satan was cast down to the earth, he lost the beauty and the glory of God he had once possessed. (Ezek.28:11-17). Unfortunately, Satan’s evil ambition did not change and consequently, he devised another plan to take God’s Throne on this earth. Since he lost his position with God, he has become an enemy to God, opposing whatever God does, including the man God created to take care of the earth. God gave Adam authority over the earth and told him to keep it under his dominion. Regrettably, he listened to his wife—Eve, disobeying God and ate from the tree God commanded them not to eat from. (See Gen.3:1-7).
Satan was able to deceive Eve, the woman God created to help Adam. He convinced her that the tree of knowledge of good and evil which God had commanded them not to eat from was not really bad. Rather, he lured her into believing that eating from this tree would make them like God. At that juncture, Madam Eve who was delighted to be like God, trusted the devil who is a liar because he is the father of all lies, (See John 8:44) and she ate the fruit from the tree. Unfortunately Mr. Adam also joined her and ate the fruit although he knew it was a lie. (See Gen.2:9, 15-24, 3:1-6, 1Tim.2:14). Through that one act of sin, man lost the glory of God and the dominion over all creations (See Gen.3:7-24). Satan then took over the throne vacated by man and exercised his authority over it; he then became the ruler of the earth (See John 14:30, 1John 5:19).
Since then, sin and death filled the earth bestowing unto all generations that followed Adam and Eve an inheritance of the fallen human nature. Hence, bringing all under the power and dominion of Satan (See Rom.5:12, Heb.2:14-15, Eph.2:1-3, Rom.3:23). Man’s assigned dominion over all creation would have been perpetual had man obeyed God. (Gen.2:9, 15-17, Heb.2:5-8).
Truly God did not give up on man because of his sins, instead He set into motion another great plan; the plan to save mankind from Satan’s power and restore him to His original state of being His son and sharing His Throne. He prepared the coming of the Savior Jesus Christ for the world to save mankind from Satan’s power. “ For as in Adam all die, so in Christ all will be made alive”. 1Cor.15:22. The Prophet Isaiah saw this great plan and prophesied about it (See Isaiah 9:6-7). Evidently, God’s perfect plan worked out nicely at the right time through Jesus Christ. “ When the time had fully come, God sent His Son,
