Conclusion: Satan is not not able to do these five things;cannot love, Cannot tell the truth, cannot live holy, and cannot be humble. This is the believers five smooth stones to victory(success)if we walk and live in the pathway of God(Micah 6:8; John 15:1-5; 1 John 4:4;1 John 5:4).

           Our Lord Jesus Christ said something so powerful in Matt. 5:16 about the salt loosing its flavor(FAVOR) or savor(its trampled under men's feet). That what happens to success(Gal.5:7;Rom. 8:35-39). When it looses its passion, loses its determination,loses its Knowledge, loses its creativity, loses its empowerment, and loses its energy; success at that point becomes the Valley of the Dry Bones(Ezek. 37th Chapter).
