CHECK THESE LITTLE FOXES Monday, November 1, 2010
MEMORIZE: “Take us the foxes, the little foxes, that spoil the vines: for our vines have tender grapes” (Songs of Solomon 2:15) READ: Songs of Solomon 2:14-15 Until you terminate all your internal enemies, they will send an invitation to external enemies to team up with them to see your end. What you fail to terminate concentrates on terminating you. The internal enemy you cannot stop will end up stopping you. There are many whose imprisonment is not defined by physical walls but are prisoners of anger.  Ecclesiates 7:9 says, “Be not hasty in thy spirit to be angry: for anger resteth in the bosom of fools”. Some leaders have simultaneously put into play what it takes to gather and to scatter a crowd, and as a result they cannot ever show the fruit of their labor. There is one of my children who is wonderful and highly anointed. He could by the anointing of the Spirit put together a crowd within one month, but through the spirit of anger he could scatter the church and tell off the congregation. In one Sunday service, he could undo the labor of two years! That is imprisonment! If you are scattering what others are building, you are in a satanic prison. Anger has limited the progress of many Christians and perpetually pegged them as baby Christians. The prison of some is laziness. They are so lazy that making an effort in an endeavor is like confronting a giant. Their laziness turns mole hills into mountains. Giants are not necessarily by size, height or age but by the extent they can resist opposition. That an effort meets with  a formidable resistance does not necessarily imply that the resisting party is stronger.  Sometimes, what you consider a giant, which has strongly resisted your full strength may suddenly collapse at the slightest and faintest push the second time around. This is why you must continue to make effort until you reach your goal. The prison of some believers is the lust of the flesh. One of my sons came to me complaining of a problem. He said he gets excited and looks forward to Monday mornings because he would see his secretary again. So I asked him to fire her.  The elders say ‘Stay away from a snake whose head is still intact’.  The death agent capable of snuffing your spiritual life must be avoided like a plague.  What is your prison? Is it over eating, over sleeping, talkativeness? Destroy them today! ACTION POINT: Today, make a vicious move against any prison your flesh has held you in. N.B One way to be free from the prison of greed is to be generous. Visit and support www.10millionexercisebooks.com today.
