"The Bible says, 'I will set a table before you in the presence of your enemies'. If your enemy is not there, the table will be useless. It's good for your enemy to see what you become. What they thought you cannot become - it's good for your enemy to see. They thought you cannot become this or that - it is better they see for themselves. That may change them and win their soul! A good example of what I am talking about is we here in the church today. If we begin to examine the conscience of everyone here and look at the past - at least 50% never thought they would come here. You had a different impression about T.B. Joshua. You stood in opposition towards T.B. Joshua in the past but today, you are alive to see that he is your friend, not your enemy. If you had died then, would you be able to see this?
What is the way out? Pray for
your enemy! Prayer from your heart, not from your lips. If you choose the path
of praying for your enemy, you will have a great relief. Because you are
running to defeat your enemy, it has taken you to many places - spiritually,
physically and financially. It has caused you sleepless nights - fear, anxiety,
pressure. Every bad thing that happens to you -when you have nightmare - you attribute
it to your enemy. The pain you are going through - it's not your enemy that is
going through it but you. Why can't you ignore your enemy and move forward?
Pray for them! You are the one going through the pain.
When you begin to chase your
enemies, you will automatically forget the condition in which you are - because
it's not possible to look at two sides. I am going through pain that the enemy
caused - and at the same time I am pursuing the enemy that caused it. I will
ignore the pain. The pain will be there but how to take care of myself will be
ignored. This is why our pain persists. The situation that you are supposed to
go through within a week, you are on it for the past one year - because you
ignore your condition and you are pursuing your enemies
The bigger your success, the
bigger your enemies. Why are you wasting your time when you know it's a normal
life? You go through your trial according to your position and I will go
through my trial according to my position. It is our position that attracts
trials. Your position in life attracts persecution. If your position is big, it
will attract big trials. Big blessing will attract big trials. You don't want
trials; you don't want success in life. When people talk about you - 'He is a
foolish man; she is a foolish woman' - you know it's a recognition! What you
are going through should not rule your life. What you are going through does
not matter but what matters is whom you are."
- Prophet TB Joshua
