(TEXT: Psalms 27:2)
When the wicked, even mine enemies and my foes, came upon me to eat up my flesh, they stumbled and fell.
FOCUS :
For every believers journey through this world, we should always have it at the back of our minds that “battles and enemies” are not always far from us in our journey of Faith. There are all kinds of enemies, and there are even some who are closer than you can ever imagined, and their thoughts towards you can never be good but evil. They grinned at you, but deep inside their grinning, lies evil towards you.
Proverbs 12:20
Deceit is in the heart of them that imagine evil: but to the counsellors of peace is joy.
Jeremiah 17:9
The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?
In addition, there are some enemies who wants to steal from you, there are some enemies who wants you dead, there some enemies who wants to kill you slowly, and of course, there are some enemies who wants to destroy you completely. Don’t ever forget that the world we are in is full of battles. Any direction you turned to, be always ready to face the “hot battlefield” prepared by forces either “known or unknown.” Two of the greatest enemies any man or woman can ever have is: “enemies within or you being the enemy of yourself.”
Micah 7:6 For the son dishonoureth the father, the daughter riseth up against her mother, the daughter in law against her mother in law; a man’s enemies are the men of his own house.
Romans 8:31 What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?
Finally, in our memory verse today, Jesus was the one talking, and He was talking about those who came to arrest and to crucified Him. I mean, there were literally enemies everywhere for Jesus, even among His own very close disciple. So, who can you now trust? Honestly speaking, enemies and battles are everywhere around you. If Jesus had enemies and definitely had to fight the battle for you and I; and which He did fought until He gets to the Cross for Him to be crucified”, that means, there are enemies who will also need to prepared to fight on our path of FAITH. But we gotta stay strong and fight the “good fight of FAITH.”
1 Timothy 6:10-11 For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows. But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness.
2 Timothy 4:5-8 But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry. For I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand. I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing.
