Why Do the Heathen Rage?
We attract into our lives what we project into the lives of others. This is why when you pray for others your own prayers are not amputated or neglected. When Job prayed for his friends, his own captivity was turned around. What you make happen for others, God will make happen for you. Those who always wish for the best for others can’t have a bad ending themselves; but those who on the other hand always wish for the worst for others can’t have a smooth ride or sail through life.
Life is laden with varieties and this is actually the spice life. One of such is that everyone has enemies. Enemies make us stronger. Without enemies there won’t be a fight, and without a fight, the word victory wouldn’t exist in the believer’s vocabulary. Every now and then, we are either coming out of a fight or getting into another. As believers in Christ, we emerge victorious in every fight we engage if we remain obedient to God’s word.
Why Do We Fight?
“Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing? The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed…”
Psalm 2:1-2
The enemies of God are automatically the enemies of His people. The devil often and moves to thwart them at every given opportunity. We are here on earth to carry out God’s programme as He has purposed in destiny for us, but the enemy rages at us every time they sense we are making progress towards achieving our God-given destinies. When it comes to the battle of life, you don’t have to go for the enemy; they will readily come for you. Your best option is to stay on the offensive and not lose heart.
“O LORD my God, in thee do I put my trust: save me from all them that persecute me, and deliver me: Lest he tear my soul like a lion, rending it in pieces, while there is none to deliver.
Psalm 7:1-2
The word rage means violent and uncontrollable anger. The rage of the enemy concerning you shall not prosper in Jesus name. So many today are not living their divine original, they are living the script the enemy has written for them, which is contrary to God’s plan. A lot of people merely exist without anything to show for life. The glory of many have been aborted unknown to them. Many only see their original personality in the dream, they have laboured in life but with nothing to show. Many have prayed but the answers to their prayers are still hanging. So many Christians are already hopeless; they only go to church to pass time. No matter the category you have found yourself, there is hope for you and you shall surely fulfil destiny in Jesus name.
When and Why Do the Heathen Rage?
1. When your destiny is colourful the enemy will rage against you. While we were young, we thought life was a bed of roses, but now we understand that you have to fight to even stay alive not to talk of succeeding. There are people who have ‘the third eye’ and are able to see a great destiny. And when they do, they begin to fight against the manifestation.
2.When you are about to change history. The wicked takes pleasure in seeing people, places, and events remain the same, so, when they find any man who wants to undo or change what they have done; they go to war with such. Only those who fight to finish change history.
3. When heaven is about to celebrate you. Every man who walks with God has his season of celebration. When it is time, the signs will show; and when that happens, the wicked will stand to resist the testimony. When you receive prophecy of God’s blessing, don’t just sit back and rejoice. Know that it is time to go to war against opposing powers.
4. When you are at the edge of your breakthrough, and you about to enter a new level of your life, they enemy will want to say no.
5. When you are about to sing your new song and dance your dance. It is the will of God for us to go from testimony to testimony. It is our duty to fight against the powers that seek the reverse for us.
6. When your evidence is about to appear.
7. When the yoke of the wicked on your life is about to break. Bondage is evil and cruel; but when a man is at the verge of gaining his freedom, the wicked rage.
8. When they are about to be disgraced concerning your case.
9. When your speed becomes a threat to their devices. Nothing angers the enemy like when their device against a person fails. You aggravate their anger when you are always steps ahead.
10. When the heavens announce your lifting. The heavens announce your lifting when your cloud is full and your rain is about to start.
11. When your case has been fast tracked by heaven. The wicked begin to rage when you are taken from the back of the queue to the front line.
12. When there is a word of prophecy upon your life. Don’t celebrate when you receive a word of prophesy; it is indeed the time to intensify prayers, so that you can see the manifestation.
13. When you have just had a major victory. When soldiers celebrate their victory, they don’t let down their guards completely, they celebrate and watch at same time.
14. When the Lord has lifted you above them. When you are lifted above them like Daniel, you automatically become an enemy.
15. When you refuse to take No for an answer. When you insist you want to change the status quo, the enemy begins to rage against you.
16. When your harvest is ripe. There are blessings you cannot hide, when your harvest is ripe, the alarm goes off in the spirit realm and this attracts the rage of the enemy when your blessings begin to show before all.
17. When you are determined to change your family history. Every family has a history. Almost all families have problems that are unique to them; the wicked rage against whoever attempts to change the story.
18. When you are determined to go from zero to hero. Anyone who desires and is determined to become somebody in life becomes the target of the enemy.
19. When the enemy realise that your blessings are irrevocable. There are certain principles you put to work that can make your blessings irrevocable. When you operate such principles and the enemy rage against you.
20. When they know you are the chosen one. The enemy is on the watch out for who the deliverer is in the family and seek to take him out like they sought to do to Jesus. If you are the deliverer of your family, you shall overcome you in Jesus name.
How Do You Stay on The Offensive?
· Surrender all to Jesus. Don’t tell your problems to anyone until you have told them to God.
· Remove your hands from sin.
· Serve God. When you serve God, He becomes jealous over you and fights for you.
· Love God. If you love God, you’ll put him first above everything else.
· Don’t give up. You must fight to overcome and not surrender to the enemy.
· Be a Kingdom addict. God is seeking for kingdom addicts so He can bless them, may He find you worthy.
