Betrayal at its worst.
Have you ever felt a deep-seated ache in your soul, the kind that leaves you breathless, the kind that makes the ground beneath you feel like shifting sand?
Betrayal. It cuts deeper than any blade because it comes disguised as love, as trust, as friendship. And yet, as children of God, we were warned not to take everything at face value, for there are wolves in sheep's clothing, wheat among tares. Some watch your purpose with envy, waiting, hoping for your downfall.
But tell me this: why are we surprised when the enemy pounces? When he does what he has always done? The serpent has not changed his tactics since Eden. He slithers in with whispers, twists truth with half-lies, and strikes when hearts are unguarded. So why do we act startled when he acts like himself?
The greater question is, why do we forget who we are? God call us to be vigilant, to be wise as serpents yet harmless as doves. Our command is to anchor ourselves in God, not in man, not in the shifting loyalties of this world. So why do we falter? Why do we place our hope in hands never meant to hold it?
But hear this, my soul, and listen to it well: The enemy may set the trap, but he does not get the final say. Betrayal may wound, but it does not get to define you. The same God who saw Joseph in the pit, Daniel in the den, and Jesus on the cross, He sees you. And His promise remains: "No weapon formed against you shall prosper." (Isaiah 54:17)
So rise. Rise with wisdom in your spirit and fire in your prayers. Let the enemy know you recognise his schemes, and let him watch as God turns them to dust. Refuse to bow to bitterness. Refuse to surrender to despair. For we do not fight for victory, we fight from it.
Tonight, as you pray, declare this over your soul:
"I will not be shaken. I will not break. I am armed with truth, shielded by faith, and crowned with purpose. The enemy thought betrayal would be my end, but God has ordained it as my setup."
Stay vigilant, beloved. Stay prayed up. And never forget the same power that raised Christ from the dead lives in you. The enemy's time is limited. But your destiny is eternity.
