The Enemy Hide In Plain Sight

Written by Fred Farai Nyakudanga

Most of the time, enemies’ schemes are hidden. They possess knowledge of your potential, which is why they’re master deceivers. They hide in plain sight, convincing you they’re not a threat. Their power lies in manipulating your mind, making you doubt yourself and your abilities or follow their path.

Vulnerability to Attacks

This is especially true when you’re unaware of your destiny and values, leaving you vulnerable to their attacks.

Knowing Your Strengths: The Key to Protection

To safeguard against enemy manipulation, it’s crucial to have a deep understanding of:

1. Your values: What drives and motivates you? Values are long-term investments that yield benefits, not just monetary gains.

2. Your potential: Where your strengths and talents intersect is where enemies will target to exploit before you realize.

3. Raw resource: What skills or assets can you leverage for financial gain? Enemies often keep tabs on your resources, waiting for the perfect moment to strike.

4. Skills development: What areas do you need to improve or learn? If unaware, enemies can misdirect you.

5. Support network: Who are the people that will support and receive you? Enemies often have a list of your connections, threatening your integrity.

The Enemy’s Agenda

Enemies seek to undermine your progress and happiness by:

1. Destroying your values: Eroding your confidence and self-worth, making you appear unfavourable.

2. Blocking your path: Obstructing your progress or misleading you. Enemies are often jealous of others’ success.

3. Withholding resources: Limiting your access to essential resources. Enemies may use fake claims to overprice or hoard resources.

4. Discouragement: Constantly spreading negativity to drain your motivation.

5. Defaming you: Damaging your reputation and credibility before those who could help you achieve your destiny.

By being aware of these tactics and knowing your strengths, you’ll be better equipped to protect yourself from enemy manipulation and stay focused on your goals.

In loving memory of Mrs. Josephine Machuma (Nee Matongo)

Written by Fred Farai Nyakudanga Mrs. Machuma played a pivotal role in shaping my Christian values and that of many during her time as a Sunday School teacher at St. Stephen United Methodist Church in the early 80s. Her catechism teachings strengthened my faith in the birth and death of Jesus Christ, and her picturesque illustrations of God’s omnipotence and omniscience remain vivid in my mind. As a dedicated teacher with stints at Zengeza 5 and 8 Primary Schools, Mrs. Machuma was known for her blunt yet nurturing approach. She would candidly address shortcomings, and her passion for education was evident. Many students, including myself, benefited from her guidance, and I’m sure many share my sentiments about her calling to educate. Together with her husband, Mr. Shepherd Machuma, the family embodied the good teachings of John Wesley. Their union, bound by vows of love and commitment, was a testament to the power of marriage. Even in separation, their love remains unwaver...

United Methodist Church: A Path of Continuous Improvement

Written by Fred Farai Nyakudanga As a product of the United Methodist Church, I've come to realize the immense value of the administrative, business and leadership skills that the church imparts. Initially, I didn't appreciate these aspects, but after exploring other denominations, I returned to the United Methodist Church, recognizing its exceptional leadership development opportunities. The church's reporting system has had a profound impact on my self-development, and the process of worship, family ministering, and starting new churches has equipped me with replicable skills that I've applied to my daily life. Through the United Methodist Church, I've developed strong decision-making skills, strategic thinking, and effective communication. These skills have, in turn, fostered my commitment to transparency and social justice, which are now core values that I uphold in all my endeavors. I've come to expect accountability and fairness in any group or associa...

Love, Sex, and Marriage: Three Sides of the Same Coin

Written by Fred Farai Nyakudanga In today’s society, the lines between love, sex, and marriage are often blurred. Sex has been commercialized and portrayed as a pleasurable act, while love is taught through upbringing and personal experiences. Marriage, on the other hand, has become a duty where two people often find themselves tied together due to sex and social prestige. Love vs. Sex Sex is a natural instinct, while love is a cultivated emotion that allows us to accommodate someone who is not ourselves. As I often say in my sessions with young adults, every creature that reproduces enjoys sex. However, it’s love that sets us apart. We can plan and work on love, tolerating and forgiving someone who is different from us. Love disciplines us on who to have sex with, and mutual desire is a design of our own making. While sex and love are interconnected, they serve different purposes. Sex is driven by inner feelings that aim to satisfy reproduction, whereas love is a choice that req...
