Stop allowing yourself to be taken advantage of!

The Apostle Paul knew the strategies, plans and schemes of the enemy of our souls. There were many times when he exhorted the people of God to remember that we must always be alert and aware of the plans and weapons that have been formed against us. Isaiah 54:17 says: “No weapon formed against you shall prosper, And every tongue which rises against you in judgment You shall condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, And their righteousness is from Me,” Says the Lord”. God reminds us today that weapons and plans have been formed against you, but He is with you, and the greater one resides within you. Also, we know the enemy’s schemes, among which are: deceit, lies, lust for fame and fortune, fear, doubt. Since we know about these weapons, we reject and renounce them. Instead, we pursue the fruit of the Spirit, the walk of faith, forgiveness and love. 

2 Corinthians 2:11 “I have done this so that we may not be taken advantage of by Satan. For we are not ignorant of his schemes”.

He is no match for us in this arena!

This week, you will be challenged by rogue thoughts, challenges at home and at work, and unfair circumstances. You will have to match these challenges with strong faith and confidence in His word. It’s not time to doubt or to allow anything or anyone to take you out of your place of authority. It’s time to stand on His word. James 4:7 says: “Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you.” Submit to God today. Resist with the strength that God gives you in the Holy Spirit, and the devil will flee. That is God’s promise to you today! Greater is He that is within you!

James 1:6 “But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind.”
