THE WORLD IS OUR ENEMY
Readers, do you know that the world is our enemy? As soon as we are born, we are entering the enemy’s territory. Do my readers understand what I am saying? We are entering the enemy’s territory when we were born. I hope you can understand this. I have written hundreds of articles trying to explain to you that the world is our enemy. We are living in the enemy’s territory until we surrender our soul to our Maker. This means that we have to be careful knowing that we are living in Satan’s territory. Brothers, we have to be extra careful how we live in this world, because we live in this world only once, not twice, and then we shall die. We have no more chances to correct our mistakes after we die, none! If there are any mistakes that we have made in the past, correct them now while we still can. Do not ignore this opportunity. Why? Because if we ignore it, we may never see another opportunity again to correct our mistakes. And we may regret it for the rest of our lives, Bro. I know we will regret it. What are the dangers of living in an enemy territory? The dangers are many, one of which can shorten our lives. They can cause daily pain and suffering. It's called diseases. My niece died of cancer a few months ago. Her husband died of brain tumor some years ago.
If you are told that your home is in a gang’s territory, or drug dealers territory where each night somebody gets killed, what can you do? And you are too poor to move to another safer place. What can you do?
We are living in Satan's territory. What can we do to protect ourselves and our children from the influences of Satan? We use the armor of God - His words to resist Satan. That's what we do. That’s the only way we can win over Satan. That’s how Jesus won over Satan, remember? “It is written,” Jesus said. Do we know “What is written”? I don’t think we know because we flushed them all in the toilet.
My dear readers. Do you know why Jesus said, “If you love me keep my commandments”? John 14:15.
Because He wants us to utilize His commandments to resist Satan while we live on Satan's territory. Do you know why our lives are so miserable sometimes? Because we covet what other people have. And coveting is one of His commandments - thou shalt not covet. He prohibits us from coveting. And when we covet, we will suffer the consequences for sure. We won’t live forever in this world. This world is our enemy. Let us prepare ourselves for a much better world to come. Let us not invest our 401K, future pensions, and wealth on earth where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal; but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” Matthew 6:19-21. The premium interest that we will receive for investing our treasures in heaven is eternal life.
In the meantime, take care of our health. Avoid sin. Avoid living in sin. Love others as we would love ourselves. Love God with all our our strength, and love Him with all our heart. God bless.
