Lesson 9: Surviving Opposition from Within.

It is important to know that satan will oppose anything you are doing for God. His assignment is to ridicule Gids work like he dud in the days of Nehemiah through sanballat and Tobias.

Satan operates in the following ways:

– He introduces opposition to leaders, he introduced subtle strategies like discouragement, bitterness in the hearts of christians against their leaders to disorganized committed works., he uses frontal assaults like persecutions to scatter the church, through greed, he creates a disgruntled people introducing rivalries. He uses money and pride to kill commitment and the dear of God 1 Ti 6:10. Finally he uses women to lure men of God to shame and disgrace then failure and vice versa.

Men of God, to survive in these circumstances, develope the fear of God. Ps 111:10, prov 8:13. This will help you to watch your thoughts, attitude, response and behaviors in and out of the church. The fear of God is really the only medicine we need because through it you will be committed to your work and desperately seek God’s presence ,your safe space.
