It is a common saying that "Your destiny is in your hands"
and likewise, "Your number one enemy is you". Some still do not
understand. In life, to understand those adages one needs common sense. There
are seven enemies that resides in every human being but we have the ability to
defeat them if we don’t defeat them they will destroy us. These enemies have
destroyed so many people and derail them on the path to success. Are you
willing to overcome those enemies?
Our Creator is aware of the dangers enemies pose to each one of us. As
many as the possible enemies may be, our God wants us to know that once He is
for us they can never derail us on the path to success.
But there is someone who can derail you, that person is YOURSELF. You can
be against yourself despite the fact that God is with you.
Today, I want to share with us ways we can achieve Personal Victory
and defeat the seven enemies from within. To be successful in all aspect of our
endeavors we must defeat those enemies within us in order to be more than
conqueror.
Seven enemies from within that can stop you from attaining greater
heights:
1. IMPURE THOUGHTS: having and nurturing impure thoughts
have defeated many and still defeating great and wonderful people. Do you know
that if the pure in heart are blessed, then the impure in heart are cursed so
guard your heart with all diligence for out of it comes the issues of life. Do
not let your thoughts derail you. Think positive always, do not pay evil with
evil. Be different and unique.
2. LUSTS: There are various kinds of lust. Stay away
from them all. They are poisons that destroy, steal and also kill. Lust for
food, materials, opposite sex, quick success and ungodly desires. Do not envy
anyone. There is time for everyone and everything under the sun. You also will
succeed at your own time.
3. PRIDE: Hmmm, pride they say goes before a
fall. Whatever you have today was given to you and likewise it can be taken
anytime any day, so why do you see others who are less privileged as nothing. Whatever
you have today, some people had it hundreds of years ago and they left it here
on earth. Learn to appreciate and tolerate people around you.
4. ANGER: Do not be hasty to be angry, for anger
rests in the heart of fools. Anger and pride are relatives. When you feel too
important about yourself, anger and pride easily come in most of the time. Anyone
that allows anger, the word of God calls them fools. It is a fool indeed that
will allow anything to be against himself after all that God has done. Keep away
from things, people that will cause you to be angry, flee from them.
5. LAZINESS: lazy people are asleep when they ought
to be working. They cannot think, they do not meditate, they cannot visualize
way forward. Ants are far better than lazy people, and that is why the Bible
asked Lazy people to go and learn from the ants in Proverb 6. Laziness leads to
sins and destroy lives. Work hard now so you can be at peace later in life.
6. CARELESSNESS: Some people are just careless and
reckless about everything. The exterior enemies tend to capitalize on your
carelessness and gain access into a vital part of you and there strike you deep
within. Be vigilant and observe every single details about you, business and
families thoroughly.
7. MOUTH CONTROL: You must be able to control your
utterances at all time. Process your thoughts clearly, if they won’t promote
peace desist from saying it. Let your words build up and edify others. Some have
the specialty in talking till they destroy their lives and their generations to
come. Learn to control your words and put them to good use.
Now that you know the seven
enemies from within, what change do you need to effect?
