While walking the building early Friday morning, I ran into a person and we talked about me being consistent and persistent, determined and motivated to keep it moving.
I told him about the exercise equipment I was blessed with which would strengthen other parts of my body. I am excited about every blessing that comes my way whether small or large, they are all important to me and I love sharing the goodness of the Lord.
The Person was excited for me and he said, “Everybody will not be happy about your blessings, some Christians or your so-called friends will be jealous but keep on telling it.” I answered with this: “I know what you’re saying is right” because it was already happening. But, I am going to keep telling of God’s goodness, every time the opportunity arises. As a matter of fact, the Lord wants us to share with others about the abundant blessings He sends in various ways.
We must realize, the true source behind enviousness and all other evil thoughts and deeds against is. When Satan and his demons come at you from all angles; with their onslaughts, how do we use the Word of God correctly.
There are a few points that will be shared. We must remember who we are wrestling against. We also must remember that the devil works through human beings. We must remember that God does not fight our battles like He did with the Old Testament saints; they did not have the Holy Spirit to empower them like we do today. We are in spiritual welfare that’s the reason we don’t attack humans physically.
When we understand that our armor is spiritual and what the Word says about “Spiritual warfare” we will not attack others, because we understand that the right way to handle the demons is with the Word of God (Ephesians 6:10-18); it takes every piece of the army in order to win a battle. The Word also tells us how to handle people.
To confirm the Word, Paul tells us what to do when it comes to our human enemies- Repay no one evil for evil. Have regard for good things in the sight of all men. If it is possible, as much as depends on you, live peaceably with all men. Beloved do not avenge yourselves but rather give place to wrath; for it is written, “Vengeance is Mine, I will repay,” says the Lord (Romans 12:17-19).

I am also reminded of what the Word of God says when you “sell out,” stay on the narrow road- who shall not receive a hundredfold now in this time—houses, brothers, sisters, mothers, children, and lands, with persecutions—and in the age to come, eternal life (Mark 10:30). I am not perfect; have not arrived yet, but my mind is made up and my heart is fixed- “I’m going to serve God until I die”
Question is: According to the laws of the land, how would we handle situations in the corporate world (workplace), when there are rules to abide by, as long as they are in conjunction (lines up) with the Word of God. For instance, if another person says rude things to you, undermine, or insults you, what would you do? Obedience is better than sacrifice whether spiritually or in the natural.
Blessed Saturday to you,
