FAITH CAPSULE: The temptation of the devil is a deception of interaction for Adam and Eve to violate God. 

Genesis 3

Deception is dangerous. 
God has created all not to be a victim of the way of deception.
Deception encases lying and manipulation covered in pride.
Pride is the garment of the devil. 
Are you living a life of deception?
The word of God does not accept deception. 
Adopting deception is disengaging the word of God; deception is despising the word of God. 
Without a doubt, despising the word of God is the avenue of destruction as Proverbs 13:13 declares, “He who despises the word will be destroyed, but he who fears the commandment will be rewarded.” 
The majority frequently adopts deception to deliver deceitful messages in the name of God. 
Devil is the author of liars, and the master of deception interacted deceitfully to derail all from the route journey of life through Adam and Eve. 
God gave a word of command to Adam, “…Of every tree of the garden you may freely eat; but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die.” (Genesis 2:16-17) 
The skill of deception, twisted the word of God, “And he said to the woman, “Has God indeed said, ‘You shall not eat of every tree of the garden’?” And the woman said to the serpent, “We may eat the fruit of the trees of the garden; but of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God has said, ‘You shall not eat it, nor shall you touch it, lest you die.’” Then the serpent said to the woman, “You will not surely die. For God knows that in the day you eat of it, your eyes will be opened and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.” (Genesis 3:1-5) 
The temptation of the devil is a deception of interaction for Adam and Eve to violate God. 
The devil deceitfully added and took out from the word of God to twist the word of Eve.
As a result of evil deception, “…the Lord God said to the woman, “What is this you have done?” The woman said, “The serpent deceived me, and I ate.” (Genesis 3:13)
Deception is of the way of the devil that many acclaimed believers and non-believers adapt to. 
Living life as a victim of deception or operating as an agent of deception is a way of getting displaced in the presence of God like Adam and Eve got displaced from the presence of God. 
Genesis 3:24 states, “…He drove out the man, and He placed cherubim at the east of the Garden of Eden, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to guard the way to the tree of life.” 

Prayer for today: Ask that the grace of God shall not enable you to become a victim or an agent of deception.
