The Enemy Within as I already said is a character of an individual that tends to bring you down in so many ways. This enemy might not be known by a lot of people but it has an influence on us as individuals and even tends to separate us from our Maker.
I decide to put this in a form of a story for you to get my point and illustration clearly.
So let's dive in..
Once, there lived a rich man in a neighborhood . He was so kind and caring as people may say . He shared foodstuffs to the needy and did a whole lot of things for them; building social amenities and the rest, aside all this he was also punctual and regular at workplace. So he had a great sense of leaving.
Life in his neighborhood became a blessing to him as a whole lot of people respected him and praised him for his " kindness ".
Due to the praises and respect, he was then growing or showing the attitude of supremacy bit by bit. He quit his work and decided to flaunt. He could just come to your house and give you a reward just to show off.
One day, he was advised by a young man who told him clearly that, what he is doing is not good - he is tarnishing his image bit by bit if he doesn't stop what he is doing , when he decided to do same to the young man.
The rich man couldn't let this go, he spent a whole lot of time at home thinking about this which developed a sense of hatred against the young man in him.. He concluded that the young man has disrespected him so he planned to do something evil against him .
One day, the rich man decided to hire some men to kill the young man at night when he is asleep. Luckily for the young man, he had visitors that night so they had a prolonged discussion at the hall of which the hired men didn't know.
In an attempt to break into the young man's house to kill him the men were caughted by the young man and his visitors of which they handed them over to the police.
Days later, it was pointed that they were sent by this highly respected man in society.The society was shocked by this act , everyone was shocked . The rich man was arrested and jailed of which he had no one to bail him.
He lost all the respect people had for him and he died in jail even though he was "kind".
End Of Story .
Now let's analyze the story.
Per the story ,the man was very kind to his people and dedicated to his work but he suddenly started feeling a sense of supremacy , of which he grew hatred for the one who decided to tell him he is going wayward . He plotted against him of which didn't work and he lost his image in society in the long run..
What then do you think the enemy within is??
Of course the enemy within here is the feeling of supremacy with it's compliment being hatred . Basically, the feeling of being supreme is a very dangerous attitude that when you stick to, it starts to make you think otherwise. You think you are the best man in the world , sometimes making you feel like a god . This situation was illustrated in the Holy Bible when King Nebuchadnezzar felt he was supreme and we all know what happened.
Hatred also tends to be one of the deeds that acts same as the enemy within .. Hatred is what causes a person to take the life of his/her friend's life ..
A lady was poisoned by her friend recently because her boyfriend bought her iPhone 11 as a birthday gift..
Hatred! Hatred!! Hatred!!!
This is what causes communities to fight against each other, individuals to plot against each other . The feeling of bitterness in our hearts goes a long way to affect us as illustrated in the story.
Effects Of The Enemy Within (Supremacy & hatred)
Promotes negative thoughts : This is a minor effect though but it needs to be considered.. Mostly people who feel supreme when they are challenged causing them to think much on how to plot against the "challenger."
Loss of image /Stigmatization : It leads to loss of image as people begin to lose the respect they had for you which eventually vanishes causing people to now stigmatize you .
Imprisonment : Supremacy as well as hatred can lead an individual into imprisonment since it will cause you to do unacceptable things leading you there as illustrated .
Possible death : Sometimes in your plot, you can rather get yourself killed or you can be executed for attempting murder at some places in the world ..
Disgrace to family causing refusal : Your family as well people in the neighborhood will no longer be proud and won't like someone to even mention that they know you not talking about they themselves saying it.
And a whole lot
There is therefore the need to identify this and deal with diligently before it starts to have it's influence on us . Thank you
