As Christians we all struggle with some form of weakness. Some struggle with Girls, some with Boys, some with money, some with lustful thoughts, some with masturbation, the list could go on.

The point i am trying to make is that the Devil is going to use your weakness to bring you down. Your Weakness is the Devil's Strength and the Devil's Strength is your weakness. Let me give you an example.

Lets say I have a passion for money. I love money. Money is my weakness. Now I am also heavily involved in Ministry in my church and the Devil knows that and doesnt like that. So what the devil does is create an opportunity for my weakness to be exposed and hopefully I will fall. So he may go and play with my Boss's mind and tell him he thinks I should get a raise. Now the Boss in my work may tell me he is going to give me a raise next month but I will have to work extra hours on a Friday. Now Friday is when i minister at Youth Group and the Devil successfully puts me in a trap here. Im torn between my desire to make extra money or minister in youth group. The following day i go up to my Pastor in church and I tell him that I cant minister in Youth Group again because my job needs me to work extra hours and I must obey my boss. Did you see how easily I was captured by the enemy.

The devil is going to use your passions and use that against you. Your passions become your weakness. Whatever you love to do is what the devil is going to bring more of into your life so that you would be distracted. What are your passions? Are you making your passions your idol?

Moses' weakness was his temper and he ended up hitting the rock twice, Solomon's weakness was women and was led astray, Samson's weakness was women and he ended up being defeated because of that. What is your weakness? Remeber your weakness becomes the devil's strength. The devil is going to aim all his strength on your weakness to bring you down. Are you going to allow that?

We spend so much time working on our physical flaws e.g straightening our hair, working on our acne, exercising in gyms, eating properly, etc but how much time do we spend working on our spiritual flaws.

Im sure some of you have certain secret sins that only you and God knows about. The devil knows it too. Are you going to allow those sins to take over. If you give the enemy an entrance he is going to come in.

Here's what i want you to do.

1. Spend some time and think about your weaknesses.

2. Acknowledge that they are your weaknesses and that they could be hindering you from your walk with God.

3. Ask God to help you to overcome this weakness..Make this your prayer everyday..

4. Find yourself people you can hang out with who can help you to overcome this weakness.

5. Continue to ask God to reveal to you areas where you might not be pleasing him in and to help you to fix them.

If you carry out these 5 steps you will slowly but surely begin to overcome these weaknesses and live the overcoming life you were saved to lived. Remember no one is perfect.

I hope this has blessed you. Please leave your comments on my page of what you thought of this article and feel free to share it.
