Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: God the Father, Jesus Christ (God the Son), and the Holy Spirit make up the Godhead who have been in existence since eternity past. They constitute the Divine Trinity, consisting of three distinct persons working in unity. They then created the heavens and the earth (out of nothing) in the dateless past. Among their creations were angels and pre-Adam beings. One of the chief angels created by God was called Lucifer. He was an anointed cherub, full of wisdom and perfect in beauty. He was made ruler of the earth and was perfect in his walk until iniquity was found in him. He became proud, exalted himself, and wanted to be like the Most High (God). This iniquity that originated from his heart led him to rebel against God, making him the originator of sin. He then slandered God, causing numerous angels and the pre-Adam beings of the earth to join him in the rebellion against God. He and the rebellious angels were thrown out of heaven by God, and he lost his position as ruler of the earth, which had been destroyed as a result of the rebellion. Lucifer became Satan (adversary) or the devil. God recreated the heavens and the earth (universe) and formed man to rule over all the earth. The universe formed by God was again perfect. Since Satan's rebellion, his main goal has been to incite all beings to join him in rebelling against God. To achieve such objective, he uses various strategies, tactics, and methods to cause man to join him in rebelling against God. The strategies, tactics, and methods that Satan uses to deceive human beings are largely similar. It is, therefore, important for us to understand them so that we can effectively resist him. That has been the focus of this book. Beginning with the causes of Lucifer's sin, we have examined his strategies and tactics as he has applied them on some selected persons in the course of history. These include his encounters with Adam and Eve, Job, Jesus Christ, and Paul the apostle. The aim of this approach has been to identify Satan's strategies, tactics, and methods which he employs as his tools of warfare against human beings. Such knowledge will help us resist him.
