FIGHT MAN FIGHT!!

"Satan walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour". 1 Peter 5:7-8. My friend, Satan has found that discouragements is the most effective of all tools he employs against God's people. No saints in the Old Testament or in the New Testament could escape this. Prophet Elijah a champion on Mount Carmel becoming a coward of the worst sort next day under a Juniper tree. Apostle Paul enjoyed abundance of divine revelations. But he was bothered by a thorn in the body. He calls it "a messenger of Satan". He pleaded with God that this pricking arrow of Satan would be removed from him. But God strengthened him to live with it. Diseases unknown to our forefathers have become common today. Satan uses all these to discourage God's people and depress them. But through it all we know that "HE cares for us". You know what I found? Satan is not only busy discouraging us , but he also works against all our encouragers. Apostle Paul highlights this strategy of Satan in his letter to the saints in Thessalonica while they were going through trials and tribulations. He wrote "We wanted to come to you- even I, Paul, time and again- But Satan hindered us.. Brother, don't be a lukewarm Christian. Understand that there is a strategy employed by Satan to discourage us. Our warfare is not carnal, but against principalities and powers fighting against us. You are on his "HIT LIST" you like it or not. We must depend on God and the Holy Spirit to defeat this enemy. The OMNISCIENT GOD, being wiser than Satan, has supplied us suitable weapons to counter- attack him. When he challenges you, when he accuses you, when he discourages you, USE THOSE WEAPONS. Bible says "SUBMIT TO GOD, RESIST THE DEVIL, HE WILL FLEE AWAY FROM YOU". Did you hear buddy? yeah yeah. fight man fight.
