Message
A long time ago, a border community in a country was frequently attacked by a gang of dangerous trans-border robbers. The situation was so bad that it took a combined security force of army and police to drive the gang away and restore peace to the community. The peace was short-lived, as the robbers returned as soon as the security officers left. The community then begged thegovernment to keep the security men with them till they were certain there would be no further attacks.
The enemy of our soul is fighting Christians in order to prevent them from entering the heavenly home that God has promised them. He will continue to fight with Jesus’ friends until he is finally defeated by Christ at His return. While on earth serving Jesus, believers are daily involved in battles against sin, self, the world and Satan. However, Christ has promised believers victory in every battle.
We must be ready to confront the enemy of our souls whenever he appears. To overcome in the battles, we must rely on God’s word, His promises, His name and the shed blood of Jesus. Don’t give up because “a quitter never wins, and a winner never quits.”
