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...

Greener Pastures Do Not Secure A Fat Cow

Written by Fred Farai Nyakudanga Just like cows seeking greener pastures, humans are drawn to opportunities that promise better living standards. However, I pose a critical question: do greener pastures truly guarantee prosperity if the underlying conditions are flawed? Perhaps the lack of progress is not due to the absence of opportunities, but rather the result of haphazard approaches, poor planning, and neglected resources. In the pursuit of a better life, many Africans seek opportunities in diaspora, enticed by promises of higher salaries and improved living standards. Yet, I firmly believe that true fulfillment and lasting impact can only be achieved by addressing the underlying conditions that hinder our progress in our own autonomous land – a land where we have territorial integrity. These underlying conditions include : 1. Absent value creation mechanisms : Failing to harness value from our resources and talents, instead relying on others for validation. 2. Disunity : Lac...

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...
