Understanding Human Nature.
"Look, I am sending you out as sheep among wolves. So be as shrewd as snakes and harmless as doves" Matthew 10:16 KJV.
Many believers today are sheep that is, not knowing they are sent into the midst of wolves. It takes being as wise as serpent and gentle as doves to be able to navigate safety through these wolves.
"Pray too, that we will be rescued from wicked and evil people, for not everyone is a believer" 2 Thessalonians 3:2 NLTJesus likened the unregenerated soul as wolves and some believers have that wolf nature in them because they will not allow the Lord Jesus to fully have complete reign in their life.
Any Christian who approaches life as sheep is naive. It takes sound and quality maturity to pick up wisdom as a serpent and gentleness as a dove as a lifestyle. Many of my words today are going to be in parable to be understood by the Spiritual mind.
Many Christians only pick up wisdom after they have narrowly escaped from wolves that have bitten so deeply that the scar cannot be removed. Christians, especially young ones approach life with open heart and after the full view of the fiery darts of the enemy in their life, they run back to their comfort zone and some never even make it back to their comfort zone.

I think it is time for young generation of our time to be taught about the evil and the evil men of our world before they completely lost their hearts.
The Church is losing so much due to this ignorance, as the young hearted and spirited believer jumps out in full passion for his dreams but he meets these wolves along his path unprepared which quench the fire and consequently derail from the truth and they begin to tear down all the knowledge of God inside of them.
Help the young generation to be rooted in the word of God and knows scripture like its a water to drink at any point in time. Help them attain a position of maturity before being sent into the world full of wolves. Knowing that in maturity they will do great exploit in the midst of wolves of the world.
The truth is many of us has ignored the fact that enemy are around us like the cloth we put on. They are very close and some are even pals. The Bible says, the heart of man is desperately wicked, who can know it or understand it.
Don't rely on nobody but God alone. Man will fail you but God will never fail you. There are evil forces contending with Christians around us are enormous but the weapon of our welfare are not carnal but strong and mighty through God to the pulling down of stronghold and casting down imaginations and every high thing that exalts themselves or itself against the knowledge of our God.
If you look at the analysis of lies being told daily, you will marvel and the victim of these lies are enormous and gigantic. But my beloved brethren, be off good cheers because we have overcome. We are not victims but Victors. HALLELUJAH!
All we need is to be as wise as serpent and as gentle as dove to be able to counter the wicked fiery darts of this world. Don't give up and never give in because we are not off this world.
Thank you for reading and may God give you the right understanding to know the word of God in depth in Jesus name Amen.
