No man shall be able to stand before you all the days of your life; as I was with Moses, so I will be with you. I will not leave you nor forsake you.

Joshua 1:5 NKJV

In life, there are individuals who are negatively bent to prevent others from reaching their goals and achieving their dreams. Maybe out of envy, insecurity or just sheer wickedness. They engage diabolical means, witchcraft, charms, psychological manipulation, and spread lies in order to negatively influence others against you.

This attempt to hinder one may stem from an offence, rivalry and competition, or just sheer wickedness. While we do not deny their existence, yet their ability to stop us are often over exaggerated, we have given them more power than they actually possess while neglecting our most formidable enemy that can truly stop us, the man in the mirror,  yes that man, YOU.

God said “No man will be able to stand against you,” they will come but they will not stand, they will not last, because God is with you. He will fight for you, defend your cause, raise help for you, cause men to speak in your favor & turn your situation around.

Therefore, the real enemies are those destructive habits, negative attitudes, limiting mindset and belief system, traditional practices that can sabotage your success and frustrate your progress. If we spend half of the time we spend on the enemy without, on the enemy within, our victory will be guaranteed and our progress speedy.

Have you been focusing on the wrong enemy? It’s time to re-examine the situations of your life again. If we’re able to deal with the enemy within, whatever anybody does will only serve as stepping stones rather than stumbling block.
