While fighting with the enemy, God sometimes helps us by
causing the enemy to verbalize their evil intent like it happened to Samson in
Judges 16:6. If your enemy tells you his plan towards you, what are you
supposed to do? Sometimes, the enemy will be so full of the evil plot that he
will spill it out unawares; for the mouth releases what the
heart is full of (Matthew 12:34).
If you share your
secret with a particular friend, and you observe that your plans are repeatedly
frustrated, you don’t need a soothsayer to tell you to either cut off from that
enemy disguised as a friend or keep your secrets to yourself afterwards. The
enemy will do just about anything to know the best way to get at you. One area
he will concentrate on is your weak point. He will carefully study you to know
your weak point and usually, it does not take him too long to discover this.
Wisdom demands that you first identify your area of weakness before your enemy does. There is no
human being without one, yet if you can prayerfully present your weakness to
the Lord and follow the instructions of the Holy Spirit, over a period of time,
your point of weakness can become your point of strength.
If you are easily seduced into lust by looking at naked
pictures of the opposite sex, do something fast about it. Avoid being exposed
to any form of indecent exposure of the opposite sex - be it live or in
pictures. Watch the gate of your eyes carefully. A particular brother once
discovered his weakness in this area and as part of checkmating his flesh, he
made sure that whenever he was addressing a lady, he did not look at her eyes.
Some people felt he was too weak but he did not mind their comments. All he was
concerned about was how to ensure he did not become taken in temptation. Many
Christians know their weak points yet they dare their flesh and even the devil,
at the end, they become casualty of the power of darkness. Do you know your
weaknesses? What are you doing about them? Prayerfully minimise any exposure to
a source of temptation. Use the word of God to renew your mind and to
strengthen yourself and ask God to uphold you. You will not fall.
The weakness you ignore will take advantage of you. Daily
ask God to turn your weakness into your point of strength
“Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye
should obey it in the lusts thereof” Romans 6:12
