Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
Who do you submit to in your life? Many people though proud, force themselves to submit to their boss at work because of the paycheck you are expecting at the end of each month, some submit to their lecturers because he has the power to fail you, some submit to the law of their country for fear of fine or imprisonment and others to their husbands because he rules over them. All this is good but not the best. When we submit to people and laws in the absence of submitting FIRST to God will end up in failure. That's why people still lose their jobs, fail their exams, get jailed innocently or divorce. Submit to your Maker first and then He will give you power to dominate your life and resist the schemes of the devil.
Part of resisting the devil is submitting to God. I’ve heard it said that if you are not walking “toward God” you are walking away from Him. God’s position does not move, and He has been clear about where He stands. If you believe in Christ you will be saved and in right relationship with Him. Our enemy however is shifty and cunning, and is always trying to confuse the direction you are walking in. Satan's goal is to exploit anything that can turn you away from God. Has evil worked its way into your life masquerading as something good? Resist evil, and cling to Christ alone.
