How to defeat or overcome the opposition or devil
- Overcome fear to start.
Yes the devil has made so many lack the zeal to start. They always think and nurture the thoughts that they will fail. The thoughts of defeat always saturate their mind whenever they want to venture on anything meaningful. If only you can be bold to start it will amaze you what significant things you can accomplish. Even if you start something new and fail, that is a great experience on your end.
“… but the righteous are bold as a lion.” (Proverbs chapter 28 verses 1)
You should be eager to do something new and believe you will ever succeed no matter the circumstances surrounding you at the moment. Everyone who has achieved something significant has always had the thought from the devil that he or she will never end up victorious. But their persistence and belief in what they were able to start made them never give up and were focused to the desired result.
- Failure does not make you a failure.
Because we have not arrived in that land called perfection, we are bound to encounter failure. Encountering failure is part of the journey of life. Encountering failure never made anyone a failure. Failure will really become a failure in the life of a person when he or she accepts it and quit trying. Let any failure you encounter on the process to achieve something significant be a stepping stone to remain on course and keep trying.
“For though a righteous man falls seven times, he rises again…” (Proverbs chapter 24 verses 16 NIV)
Great and successful people in the society today have encountered many failures on their journey to becoming great, yet they never gave in. You can imagine if these ones were to gave in because they encountered failure what will our world be like this day. Let the failure you encounter fuel your passion towards accomplishing your goals and dreams.
- Overcome your past failures and success.
To some persons it is never their past failures that is their greatest challenge, to some persons it is their greatest success that is there greatest challenge. They are so cage in the circle of their past success that they are so satisfied never to venture into something new. There is a clear understanding when someone has encountered failure on a several occasion and he or she has made up his or her mind whenever going for something great, he or she will not succeed. Past failures have actually crippled the mental faculty of some persons that they can’t think right to start something new and keep pressing till the end.
Paul said in the book of Philippians chapter 3 verses 12 to 14,
“12 – Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus.
13 – Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before,
14 – I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.”
May your achievement never become your opposition and the reason you become too comfortable not to venture into something new and great.
- Hold-on to what you believe concerning the word of God.
The bible ought to be one’s best book we ought to embrace with everything that is within us. It is God’s word to us. It the manual to run life and to fulfill destiny. It is in reading it that we will find out what God has said concerning us and what we get to do to keep proper alignment to God’s will for our lives.
“Through wisdom is an house builded; and by understanding it is established.” (Proverbs chapter 24 verses 3.)
- Don’t listen to any report that is not aligning with your responsibility.
You should understand that in the course to fulfill destiny devil will be throwing words of discouragement to you to quench your passion towards accomplishing your goals and dreams, thereby eluding you to attain to your vision. Be careful of the report you listen to. Faith comes by hearing, also discouragement and defeat come by hearing.
“So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.” (Romans chapter 10 verses 17)
“Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:” (Philippians chapter 1 verses 6)
- Trust in the Lord.
You have to trust in the Lord God Almighty with everything that is within you. As long as you have the Lord God Almighty by your side, every controversy is settled.
“5 Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.” (Proverbs chapter 3 verses 5-6)
Conclusion:
You have what it takes to defeat any opposition or devil because He that is in you is the greatest.
