BELOVETH, LET'S HANG ON TO THE TRUTH FOR THE REST OF THIS YEAR.
In any hand-to-hand combat, there’s a constant back-and-forth of blows, dodges, blocks, counterattacks, and so forth. That’s exactly what is going on in the unseen around us.
Only it takes place, initially, at the level of our thoughts. When we are under attack, we’ve got to hang on to the truth. Dodge the blow, block it with a stubborn refusal, slash back with what is true.
This is how Christ answered Satan — He didn’t get into an argument with him, try to reason his way out. He simply stood on the truth. He answered with Scripture and we’ve got to do the same.
This will not be easy, especially when all hell is breaking loose around you. It will feel like holding on to a rope while you’re being dragged behind a truck, like keeping your balance in a hurricane situation affecting us in Nigeria.
Satan doesn’t just throw a thought at us; he throws feelings too. Walk into a dark house late at night and suddenly fear sweeps over you; or just stand in a grocery line with all those tabloids shouting sex at you and suddenly a sense of corruption is yours.
But this is where your strength is revealed and even increased — through exercise.
And EXERCISE by what?
By following what Proverbs 4:23 advised us, ''Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it''.
Stand on what is true and do not let go. Period.
Remain Indomitable to the devices of evil beloved.
LET'S HANG ON TO THE TRUTH
