The devil is immeasurably merciless. This is a good example - In Nigeria, Syria, Iraq, the devil has seduce this countries with different groups of terrorist to kidnap children and kill people, tie explosives on their bodies and teach them how to trigger them in the midst of lots of people so that those children are shattered and the lives of other hundreds or thousands.

GREAT LESSON!
Jesus, if any one fails to learn from Him may likely fall into the nets of the devil and perish - (Mark 1:35-37). But look at verse 36, implies, that they were looking for him because it says, "when they had found Him', the leaders MUST from time to time leave the people, the activities without notice, (because such notification will distract or alter that cause and determination to take leave to pray). Verse 37 further says 'all men seek for thee' Jesus knows that if you are with the people all the time, binding and loosing without withdrawing to go and pray you would become a casuality, another Sampson, Demas, and empty barrel. (Luke 5:16). Watch and pray!.
