Standing Firm Against Opposition
Devotional
Opposition often comes when we're walking in our God-given purpose. Like Paul in chains, we may face accusations and resistance that seem designed to derail us. But what if these challenges aren't roadblocks but rather confirmations that we're on the right path? When we understand that opposition often comes because the Gospel is powerful, it changes our perspective. Instead of being discouraged by resistance, we can see it as evidence that our impact is real and threatening to the enemy's agenda.
Bible Verse
'For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes: first to the Jew, then to the Gentile.' - Romans 1:16
Reflection Question
How has opposition in your life actually confirmed you're on the right path with God?
Quote
Sometimes when injustice come against you and the enemy come against you, His agenda is not just to take power away from you. His agenda is to destabilize you mentally so that you will be incapacitated, unable to function mentally, thereby stopping the gospel and stopping you.
Prayer
Lord, give me strength to stand firm when opposition comes. Help me see challenges as confirmation of my impact rather than reasons to retreat. In Jesus' name, Amen.
