Acts 8
God's power vs the devils. This is a no brainer. Gods' power is no match for the devil. God is omnipotent, meaning "all powerful". The devil was a created being and his power is not close to being equal with Gods. Many people are decieved though and think that the devils power out does Gods'. What a crock! Here the sorcerer had deceived the people to think that he had great power from God but when he heard and saw Phillip ministering by the power of the Holy Spirit he can to see that his power was nothing in comparison. In his carnal nature and ignorance he offered money to Peter to be able to do business by ministering the baptism of the Holy Spirit as he saw Peter do. Why do people today give so much credit to the devil for everything that happens? and seemingly give to him more power that he deserves? Maybe if we spent our time meditating on Gods greatness and power that we could understand that seeing the devil and God side by side, there is no comparison.
