Success always breeds opposition, and often buy ridicule.* Our enemies will challenge our abilities. If we become convinced that we can’t... then we won’t!* Our enemies will decry our logistics. The Jews were few! But... God loves to take just a few and do much. * Our enemies will mock us because we haven’t been serious-minded in the past. They will point out and amplify our past failures.* Our enemies will challenge our perseverance!* Our enemies will attack our resources! Since Christians are a small minority, their resources are also relatively small. How to respond to verbal attack?* PRAY... and turn it over to God!* Be persistent!* Be resolved and focused!
