THE SEED
But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway. 1 Corinthians 9:27
Your biggest enemy is not the devil, neither is it your mother-in-law, witches or wizard. As a child of God you know very well that greater is he that is in you than he that is in the world. (1 John 4:4) Your number one enemy is yourself. The one who is truly victorious is the one who has conquered himself. When you live according to the dictates of your flesh, you give it permission to destroy you and it is good at doing that. Samson took down an entire city single-handedly but could not conquer himself. He was so powerful that cities feared him but in the lap of a woman, he was the weakest of men. Samson told Delilah a lie about the source of his power and awoke to find that she had used the information against him, yet he did not stay away from her. He told her another lie as she tried to exploit it and failed again, yet he did not stay away from her. To make the matter worse, he told her the truth at last and ended up grinding corn for the same enemies that used to fear him. When a child of God is really fervent, the devil starts searching out his weakness. The moment he finds it, he will try to use it as a weapon for that child of God to destroy himself or herself. That is why you must destroy that weakness before the devil uses it against you. Control yourself so that you will be victorious against the attacks of the devil.
