WHEN THE ENEMY TRIES TO STEAL YOUR GOD-GIVEN SUCCESS: STAND FIRM

"No weapon formed against you shall prosper, and every tongue which rises against you in judgment you shall condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and their righteousness is from Me," says the Lord. (Isaiah 54:17)
The enemy doesn't fight what he's already defeated; he fights what threatens him. When God gives you an assignment, hell will try to stop you. First, they set you up for failure. But when you defy the odds and succeed anyway, they switch tactics. Now, they recruit others, whispering, manipulating, conspiring, to push you out, thinking they can take over what God built through you.
But here's what they don't understand: Your success is not by your power, but by God's hand. And if they force you out, the anointing on your assignment leaves with you because it was never theirs to claim.
When you were struggling, they laughed. When you were fighting, they doubted. But now that you've succeeded against all odds, they can't stand it. So they will
send distractions, even putting spies in the camp. People who once ignored you now want to "help."
They spread lies to make out "suddenly, you're "difficult," "uncooperative," or "not a team player."
They rally others to question your position, hoping you'll walk away. They will even try to make out that others are doing the job better than you, even though those very people sat on their laurels and did nothing to promote the success, except gossip and try to turn others against you.
But don't worry, remember when they are fighting God's plan, they're only fighting themselves.
They assume your success is about position, not purpose. They think that if they remove you, they'll inherit the favour God placed on your life. But they're wrong.
Saul chased David, but Saul couldn't take his throne.
Joseph's brothers betrayed him, but they couldn't stop his destiny.
They crucified Jesus, but death couldn't hold Him down.
Your assignment is yours alone. If your enemy did succeed in forcing you out, the blessing doesn't stay with them, because God's favour isn't transferable to the faithless.
When you refuse to run, refuse to quit, refuse to bow to pressure, they will exhaust themselves trying to figure out why you're still standing.
They fail to realise you're rooted in God's foundation.
They don't understand that perseverance, resilience, and endurance are your weapons.
They can't comprehend that you've already won because greater is He that is in you! (1 John 4:4)
Let them scheme. Let them plot. Every attack only proves you're a threat to darkness.
To those who think they can push you out and inherit your success: They are fighting God, not you.
They can't steal an anointing they didn't earn.
They can't claim a victory they didn't fight for.
They can't sustain a blessing they didn't receive from God.
If God didn't give it to you, you won't keep it.
Stand firm. Fight on. Do not negotiate with the enemy's threats.
Your perseverance is your power.
Your resilience is your resistance.
Your endurance is your evidence that you serve a God who never fails.
Even before the battle commences, it's fixed. And you win because Christ already won.
"They will fight against you, but they shall not prevail against you, for I am with you," says the Lord, "to deliver you." (Jeremiah 1:19)
Prayer:
"Father, let every enemy of my destiny fail. Let every plot against me backfire. I stand immovable, unshakable, and victorious in You. Let every tongue that rise up against me be crushed and every hand that come against me be severed. Let the enemy's schemes crumble now. In Jesus' name, Amen."
This article is more than encouragement. If you are a child of God and you are going through, in your workplace or wherever, use this as your war cry.
Let the devil know he picked the wrong fight.
Because you do not stand alone, and therefore you will not run; instead, you will reign on the sure foundation. Written by
