𝗦𝗘𝗥𝗠𝗢𝗡 - 𝗘𝗡𝗘𝗠𝗜𝗘𝗦

We are in a world in which enmity and jealousy dwell among us. Propaganda is the order of the day. The learned ones use technology to create perceptions about other nations and individuals.

The Americans are masters of creating a positive perception about their country using movies - look at the heroism of Rambo who can single-handedly win a war. In Africa, our movies depict us as masters of witchcraft - the enemies of America use guns but our enemies in Africa fly on brooms.

We shall speak about 3 types of enemies that are in your life:
𝗬𝗢𝗨𝗥𝗦𝗘𝗟𝗙
You may be fighting yourself unaware. To defeat this internal enemy, you need to take a stand. For example, last week I taught that you need to pray every day but you didn't do it. Who is the enemy? It is you!

The devil may decide not to even attack you because you are already finished. Some people fail to forgive. Other people are scared to start a business. Who is the enemy? Yourself!

The truth is you really know the good thing that you are supposed to do. It is in you yet somehow you deny yourself that opportunity because your enemy is yourself.

When you do not bathe, you are your enemy. When you fail to speak properly to gain favour, you are the enemy. When you are indecisive you are the enemy. The enemy is anxiety. The enemy is fear. You are afraid to relate with proper people.

The problem with this internal enemy is that we often forget to deal with it. We may have 52 church services in a year and forget to address the internal enemy.

How many times have you resolved to start going to the gym and failed? How many times have you resolved to read the Bible and failed? You are your enemy.

𝗘𝗫𝗧𝗘𝗥𝗡𝗔𝗟 𝗘𝗡𝗘𝗠𝗜𝗘𝗦 (𝗣𝗛𝗬𝗦𝗜𝗖𝗔𝗟)
This enemy is jealous. It attacks us using natural means. It may lack spiritual power but it has influence.

Some people just don't like you for no reason. These people can taint your image. They can take away your work. They can take away your tender. They are not witches in a spiritual aspect but they are witches in their act.

We want the Holy Spirit to deal with those in Jesus' name

𝗦𝗣𝗜𝗥𝗜𝗧𝗨𝗔𝗟 𝗘𝗡𝗘𝗠𝗜𝗘𝗦
These are Spiritual and are peculiar to Africa. They use spiritual means to control physical outcomes. They use altars to attack us. They cast traps and snares in our path.

The determination of witches is higher than that of people in prayer. They operate in darkness. They use powers from mountains and other spiritual hosts. So long as they feel satisfied in their covens they don't stop until they destroy your life. They operate in teams. Once they decide to attack a person they don't stop.

They specialize in hiding identity. You can dine with them without knowing them. You may live with one but there's no that you will imagine that this is a witch. They are more active in the Spiritual than physical.

Enemies don't care about you. They will go to any lengths to affect you, to destroy your name, and to humiliate you. They are happy to see you subjugated. It happened during the time of Esther - Haman just wanted to destroy to children of Israel.

There was a King called Asa who was blessed with a son Jehoshaphat. He was a good King but his physical enemies decided to attack him.

Jehoshaphat panicked when he heard that 3 kings were after him. (2 Chronicles 20:1). He called for a prayer. When they were praying the voice of the Lord said wait and see how this battle will be won. The voice of the Lord said when you listen to your prophets you shall prosper. When he received the word, Jehoshaphat became calm (2 Chronicles 20:2-18)
