Apostle Alfred Nyamekye Shares Four Strategies a Christian May Use When Under Attack (1)

“The Spirit of the Lord will lift up a standard against him.” Isaiah 59:19, NKJV

The biggest mistakes often occur in the early stage of a trial because they catch us off guard. Surprise is one of the devil’s favourite weapons. Here are four winning strategies to use when you’re under attack:

First, don’t panic. Live by the Scripture, ‘Be still, and know that I am God’ (Psalm 46:10 NKJV). That means God is present, fully aware of your situation, and has a solution. Just be sensitive and responsive to the voice of his Spirit within you (see John 16:13). Remember, time is on your side. Patience is a weapon that exposes truth and motive.

Second, analyze it. Solomon said, ‘In the day of prosperity be joyful, but in the day of adversity consider’ (Ecclesiastes 7:14 NKJV). What looks like a crisis may be concentrated information, so take time to analyse; you’ll benefit from it.

Third, seek advice. ‘Where there is no counsel, the people fall; but in the multitude of counselors there is safety’ (Proverbs 11:14 NKJV). Ignorance is your enemy and instruction is your friend. Somebody somewhere knows something you need to know; something that can help you survive and even succeed during this painful chapter in your life. Reach for them.

Four, expect God to move. ‘When the enemy comes in like a flood, the Spirit of the Lord will lift up a standard against him’ (Isaiah 59:19 NKJV). Adversity is often the enemy’s reaction to your progress. Rejoice; your heavenly Father’s eyes are on you today. He is pleased with you, and he is going to bring you through this victoriously.
