THE GREATEST OPPRESSION

The Greatest Oppression

Satan has many tactics to keep us from living out our full potential in Christ, but perhaps his most effective strategy is to make us feel like we're just not enough.


He whispers lies in our ears, telling us we're not good enough, smart enough, talented enough, or loved enough. He wants us to believe that we're incomplete, inadequate, and insufficient.


But know this: nothing completes us like Jesus. He is the missing piece we've been searching for, the one who makes us whole. When we put our faith in Him, He fills the gaps in our lives and makes us enough. Not because of our own merits or abilities, but because of His love and grace.


Satan's lies can be overwhelming, but we don't have to believe them. We can choose to focus on the truth of God's Word, which tells us that we are enough because of Jesus. We are loved, we are valued, and we are worthy - not because of what we do, but because of who we are in Christ.


So, let's reject the lies of Satan and embrace the truth of our identity in Christ. Let's remember that nothing completes us like Jesus, and that He is enough for us.


When we rest in His sufficiency, we'll find freedom from the oppression of Satan's lies and the confidence to live out our faith with boldness and joy.

ALWAYS SEEK DIVINE CLARITY

You Need Clarity of Purpose

When Clarity is Blurry...

August 24, 2025
In 2017, I applied to speak at TEDx. Rejected. In 2018, I applied again. Rejected. In 2019, I applied twice—both times, again, rejected. But I didn’t stop. Why? Because I was stubborn about my purpose. Like the widow in Luke 18 who kept returning to the judge, pleading for justice, I kept showing up. I kept believing that one day, the door would open. Eventually, it did. That TEDx stage didn’t come because I was the most eloquent or the most visible—it came because I refused to give up. I’ve learnt that any success you desire in life will demand persistence. Not talent, not applause, not connections—persistence. When all else fails, try persistence. When clarity is blurry, try persistence. When the applause is absent and the doors are locked—try persistence. Seest thou a man diligent in his work? He shall stand before kings (Proverbs 22:29). If I could share one counsel with every dreamer, it would be this: Be stubborn about your purpose. Be relentless in your pursuit. For in due season, you will reap—if you faint not. I believe in you. Dr Samuel Ekundayo | The Purpose Preacher
