How to guard your blessings from being robbed and destroyed.

And when the devil had ended every temptation, he departed from Jesus until an opportune time. Luke 4:13

Many people think the most challenging time is when they are going through a bad phase in their life or temptations. Not that is not actually the worst time. During this time you are cautious of what you say, what you think. You go strong confessing the word of God and believing God. This is the time when you are receptive to God. You are more closer to God than ever before. You are faithful with your church and prayer time and word time. You are full of passion and want to get your victory and nothing will stop you from getting it.

The most challenging time is when you get the victory. Everything is peaceable. There is no temptation. Everything you touch is becoming gold. You are prospering, you get your regular promotions, your health is good, your business is expanding, and your relation and family is perfect. Soon you tend to let down your guards and relax. You think everything is going on good and nothing will stop you.

This is the actual time, when you let down your guard and the devil finds his opportune time. The devil then sows pride, ego, lust, disobedience, an attitude of judging others, laughing at others. This is the time when the devil is trying to take the revenge of his last defeat, when you least expect. The result will not be so evident immediately, but the symptoms are seen. Disobedience, arrogance due to riches, pride and ego because of success, etc. You start thinking that you can never go wrong. The devil deceives you completely. Then no matter who says what, you think they are jealous of your success and riches. You think that you have come up to this level and others who are warning you, couldn't even make a good life. This is the beginning of your destruction.

Don't let the devil deceive you. Don't give this opportunity to the devil. No matter how rich you become, or how successful you become, let not pride enter your hearts and minds. Don't let your guard down. Reaching the top is difficult, yes, but remaining on the top is more difficult. Remaining successful and prosperous is very important. Many touch the peak and fall down only because of their pride and ego. Psalm 62:10 If riches increase, set not your heart on them. Don't allow the devil to rob you from your blessings. Proverbs 18:12 Before destruction the heart of man is full of pride, but humility comes before honor.

Don't be complacent and lazy. Don't allow the seeds of the devil to grow. Continue to fight the fight of faith even in your good times. Consistency will help you rise above, overruling the market conditions and even the doctors report.
