Don’t let your hungry enemy catch you!
“Be self-controlled and alert. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour” (1 Peter 5:8).
If you have a ministry of any sort—public or private—as a teacher, preacher, leader, helper, or as any kind of salt and light in the world (Matthew 5:13-16) —then take heed: you are a targeted man, a marked woman. The forces of evil have taken out a contract on you. Satan is out to get you. Why? Because he wants to nullify your ministry and your call. Because you bear on your shoulders the reputation of Christ.
Our battle is not against flesh and blood, but against principalities and powers of darkness, against spiritual forces of evil in the invisible realm (Ephesians 6:12). These desperately evil beings have vested interests in our moral collapse. They will do everything in their power to strike out at Christ and His church.
Therefore, be well balanced, temperate, sober of mind, be vigilant and cautious at all times. Recieve the grace to watch and pray unceasingly in the name of Jesus.
Your Brother in Christ,
Apostle Ashok Martin
