Satan’s attacks are sneaky. That’s his hallmark. His trait is to capitalize on human weakness by planting doubts, fear and anxiety in the hearts of Christians. He is the deceiver. His ultimate aim is to convince Christians that the security of their faith in Christ is a lie. Attacks seem to come in a number of different ways:
Anxiety – Satan plays on our fears, bringing back into our minds things that are from the past, and should belong in the past. …………….
On Church life – Division, disunity and personal attacks on church leaders, stewards and members are the weapons that Satan uses to disorganize the church from focusing on moving forward. Satan has planted few converts within the church to frustrate and discourage members who would have been useful to the church. Constant wrangling and unproductive arguments within the rank and file of leaders have led the new weak members to look for another church. This is how Satan uses some of us in the church and unless we recognize these tricks, we shall continue to wonder and look for enemies outside the church when in fact we are our own enemies. We have many vision killers, those who are not committed enough to deliver or have the zeal to serve God but are ready to blackmail, to assassinate the good characters of the stewards trying their best to serve the Lord and discouraged them. I never knew that was also part of Satan’s strategies until now.
On relationships. – Satan loves division between Christians. We should remember that people are never the enemy, although the attack may often come through people. That is part of the devil’s game. Ultimately temptation can lead Christians into improper relationships
