BEWARE OF CONTEMPORARY FOXES

Beware of Contemporary Foxes

Songs of Solomon 2:15

As Christians, we must beware of contemporary foxes that can hinder our progress and destroy our vines.

What is a fox?

A fox is a carnivorous mammal of the dog family; metaphorically, a fox is an animal that depicts cunningness.

Some little foxes litigating against the children of God are:

1. CONSERVATISM: This simply means being opposed to change, innovation and holding on to traditional values.

Acts 10: 10 – 15, Galatians 2: 1

Embrace the philosophy of change to eradicate conservatism by:

1. Changing your thinking system
2. Changing your life style
3. Changing your dream

2. PESSISIMISM: This is having a negative outlook or attitude to life.

John 1: 26 (some persons are like this in this pandemic era).

Being pessimistic hinders you from seeing anything good within or outside your environment or spheres of contact.

3. LAZINESS: This simply means to be idle, inability to work hard.

Being lazy gives room to poverty.

4. PROCRASTINATION: This means to put off what is needed to be done now to a later day.

Songs of Solomon 5: 2 – 6

5. SEXUAL IMMORALITY: This sin is now being packaged with new terminologies by the devil that no more heed is now being paid to it.

The scripture advises in 1^st Corinthians 6: 18 to flee from this contemporary fox

 Conclusion:

Beware of all the contemporary foxes to enable you have a meaningful life.

Facts:

1. Not ready to make changes means one is not ready to be successful in life.
2. A lazy man cannot make it in life.
3. God wants you to be optimistic, to have a positive outlook to life

Positive confessions:

• I am wonderfully made
• I am beautiful
• I am optimistic
• The investment of God in my life is not a waste
• I will not sink in this pandemic era
• I will not give up nor write myself off
• I reject laziness

Introduction:

The world today is in a state of fear and tumor; people are running helter-skelter due to insecurity, physical attacks, spiritual attacks and emotional attacks. Of recent times, Nigeria has been described as the most terrorized country in Africa because of criminal activities, etc. The sure protection is in the Lord Jesus Christ; His protection shall be sure as you turn to Him.

Different levels people turn to for protection are:

1. People turn to receive protection from man; some surround themselves with people and armed men, feeling they are adequately secured. 2^nd Chronicles 32: 21.

Protection from man is protection from the arm of flesh.

2^nd Chronicles 32: 8.

Protection from man can fail, disappoint and is not reliable.

Psalms 60: 11.

Protection from man is not a sure protection.

2. People turn to the devil for protection, thereby relying on the power of charms, enchantment and incantations. This kind of protection is not a sure protection.

Exodus 7: 11 -12, the power of charms can fail; note that, there is an antidote to every charm. It’s only the power of God that can’t fail.

Exodus 8: 18

3. People turn to animals for protection, e.g trained dogs in the form of security. The powers of these animals can fail you by turning to attack the owners, the animals can be killed or die naturally.

The sure protection is from the Lord Jesus, the Almighty God will protect you when you run to Him.

Psalms 61: 3, Proverbs 20: 1, Psalms 61:3, Proverbs 20: 1.

The Almighty God can preserve you from evil, Psalms 121: 7.

God can protect you by:

• Calling His name; Proverbs 18: 12
• The word; Exodus 10: 12 -14
• By fire; Zechariah 2:5

The sure protection is the Lord Jesus Christ, accept Him and He will protect you in this ember months and you will enter the New Year with joy.
