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”.

This is full of revelation!

One of God’s many characteristics is that He is very generous. You can see that in all of creation. Just look at the forests, the rain, the ocean, etc. He is also very generous in wisdom. Proverbs 2:6 (TPT) says: “Wisdom is a gift from a generous God, and every word he speaks is full of revelation and becomes a fountain of understanding within you.” If we ask God for wisdom, He will give it abundantly (James 1:5). Every word He gives us if full of revelation. Did you get that? This is why it is so important to read a verse or two, then stop and think about what was written. You will find that when you meditate or think about what you just read, the Holy Spirit will begin to give a you deeper understanding of what is hidden in those verses. Never rush when you are studying God’s word. Take your time because when you do, more revelation will come forth. His word is a fountain of understanding. And to those that love and desire knowledge from above, God will generously grant it to you. Remember, God’s word contains life, purpose, joy, peace, confidence, strategies and power to overcome any challenge or obstacle you might be facing. Be like David, who loved God’s word. It was said of David, “He is a man after God’s own heart.” What will they say about you?
