Blessed By Your Enemies: God Uses Enemies To Give YOU The Victory!
Sometimes, the very people who oppose us are the ones who push us into our destiny…
Embrace the Challenge
Have you ever felt like the world was against you? Maybe you’ve faced opposition, criticism, or even betrayal. It’s easy to get discouraged when enemies seem to surround you, but here’s a powerful truth: God can use those enemies to bless you.
As the Psalmist says in Psalm 23:5, “You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.” Your enemies might be trying to bring you down, but God is using them to lift you up!

The Purpose Behind the Opposition
When enemies come against you, it’s often a sign that you’re on the right path. The enemy wouldn’t bother with you if you weren’t a threat. Consider the story of Joseph in the Bible. His brothers sold him into slavery, thinking they were destroying his dreams.
But in God’s hands, that very act of betrayal became the catalyst for Joseph’s rise to power. What others meant for harm, God turned into good.
Positioned for Promotion
Opposition isn’t a setback; it’s a setup for your next level. Think about how God uses the challenges we face to position us for promotion. The greater the opposition, the greater the opportunity for God to work in your life.
Your enemies are just a stepping stone to your destiny. Remember, the battle is not yours; it’s the Lord’s. He is fighting for you, and He will give you the victory.
Three Affirmations to Consider
- I am stronger because of the challenges I face.
- God is using every opposition to bring me closer to my destiny.
- I trust that God is turning every setback into a setup for my promotion.
Overcoming with Grace
It’s important to respond to your enemies with grace, not bitterness. Jesus taught us to love our enemies and pray for those who persecute us. When you rise above the negativity, you align yourself with God’s purpose and open the door for His blessings.
Holding onto bitterness will only hold you back, but walking in love will propel you forward. Remember, God is your vindicator, and He will take care of those who oppose you.
Victory in the Presence of Your Enemies
No matter what opposition you’re facing, remember that God is with you. He is using your enemies to accomplish His greater purpose in your life. Just as He did for Joseph, He will turn every situation around for your good.
Romans 8:31 says, “If God is for us, who can be against us?” Keep trusting Him, and watch as He prepares a table of victory for you in the presence of your enemies.
Today’s Prayer
Heavenly Father, thank You for turning what the enemy meant for harm into something good in my life. Help me to see the challenges I face as opportunities to grow closer to You. Give me the strength to respond with grace and love, even when others come against me. I trust that You are working behind the scenes, using every opposition to position me for promotion. Thank You for being my vindicator and for preparing a table of blessing for me. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
