FAITH CAPSULE: You are the enemy of yourself!

Acts 12

The devourer of man, the father of all lie is the number one enemy of all man.
The weapon of the number one enemy of your life is your inability to please God.
The inability to please God is the assess ability of the number one enemy and his agents into your life. The only way for the enemy into your life is your sleeping in the place to remain awake. The Parable of the Wheat and the Tares identified sleeping as the enemy’s way to gain assess man’s life as stated in Matthew 13:25, “The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field; but while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat and went his way.”
Are you one like a good sower that fell asleep but not awake?
You are the enemy of yourself!
You are not pleasing God.
One that is not awake will not be watching and praying.
Watching and praying before God is connecting with God, to hear, to see and to receive direction from God.
Are you awake in your prayer before God? Luke 21:36 records warning against not watching and praying, “Watch, therefore, and pray always that you may be counted worthy to escape all these things that will come to pass, and to stand before the Son of Man.”
Watching and Praying before God is having communion all day all the time with God without sleeping.
The Parable of the Wheat and the Tares said, “but while men slept, his enemy came…” (Matthew 13:25) With the enemy’s assess ability there will be no remedy to resolve the enemy’s agenda but only the mercy of God that can reverse what seems or looks irreversible to man.
All man should be awake, to be watching and praying before God in this wicked world is the will of God for all man.
Are you sleeping, not know that you are slipping off, making self assessable for the wicked one?
The summation of the consequence of the enemy’s in the parable is captured in the word as stated, “So the servants of the owner came and said to him, ‘Sir, did you not sow good seed in your field? How then does it have tares?’ 28 He said to them, ‘An enemy has done this.’ The servants said to him, ‘Do you want us then to go and gather them up?’ 29 But he said, ‘No, lest while you gather up the tares you also uproot the wheat with them. 30 Let both grow together until the harvest, and at the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, “First gather together the tares and bind them in bundles to burn them, but gather the wheat into my barn.” (Matthew 13:27-30)
From today, stop deceiving yourself, get to know that you are sleeping and not awake before God.
Learn from it that, in the parable, sleeping allowed the enemy to do evil with no remedy against the enemy until the day of harvest when God will separate good and evil.
Wake up from sleeping, stop slipping off the presence of God’s deliverance and preservation over your God-given life.

Prayer for today: Ask from God that you desire for the strength of prayer.
