Introduction
Kakoucheō and Antithesis have been in operation before the creation of humankind.
The Creator (Yahweh) of the universe has an enemy known as Satan. Satan
recruited some of God’s creations to rebel in heaven.
By heaven’s
court order, Archangel Michael and his subordinates drove Satan and his
minions out of the Celestial City. If the Creator of the Universe has an enemy,
how much is humankind?
Let’s be analytical. Did God (Yahweh) know that Satan would rise against
him? If yes, it means God created his “enemy” (Satan). God created a perfect
(sinless) entity known as Lucifer (see Isaiah 14:12-20, Ezekiel 28:11-19).
When Lucifer rebelled against God, his name was changed to Satan (the devil). Satan allowed sin to dominate him, paving the way for Kakoucheō and Antithesis to occur in heaven and earth. Since Sin and God has no fellowship, there had to be a separation.
When Satan chose the path of sin, he became a servant of sin. This is
one reason we experience Kakoucheō and Antithesis in the spiritual and earthly realms. I recommend
reading my series of articles labeled mysteries of sin.
I have explained some mysteries of sin, Satan, and the impact of evil. Kakoucheō and Antithesis are
not new seeds, virtues, and activities of humankind and spiritual forces. As
stated, Kakoucheō and Antithesis existed
before God created Adam and Eve.
Kakoucheō is a Hebrew word for Adversity. Antithesis is a Greek word for opposition. It doesn’t matter how
poor or rich you are; you will face Kakoucheō (adversity) and Antithesis (opposition).
Opposition and Adversity are the weapons of the enemy to limit our assignment.
In this article, I will share the top fourteen reasons you face Kakoucheō and Antithesis.
I will further share with you seven ways to overcome opposition and
adversity. That is, I will provide you with seven practical and biblical ways
to stand Kakoucheō and Antithesis. Do well to share the link to this article with your
loved ones because the revelations and wisdom keys in this article can deliver
a soul from the gates of hell. Below are the top fourteen reasons you are going
through opposition and adversity.
The Top fourteen reasons for Kakoucheō and Antithesis
1. It is the nature of the natural man
We have children of God, creatures of God, children of the devil, and
several people living among us. I encourage you to download and read my book, the
forty types of people and how to live with them, for more profound
revelations.
In the book of first Corinthians chapter two, verse fourteen, Apostle Paul
writes that the natural man does not receive the things of the Holy Spirit
because it sounds foolish in their soul. People who are not born again do not
have the nature of Christ Jesus.
These people don’t care about hurting you because the Holy Spirit does
not have absolute control over their lives. These people enjoy the pleasures of
sin. It is their nature to inflict pain on themselves, people, animals,
plants, and other creations of God.
Because these people are not born again, they have the Adamic (sinful)
nature incorporated into their spirit and soul. They do whatever their flesh
tells them to do. Like a cat, it will hurt a mouse or cockroach when it crosses
its path.
That is how the natural man operates. These people are creatures of God.
They have not migrated to become children of God. If you live with these
people, they will oppose you. It is a hard truth you cannot deny.
These people live all over the world (in workplaces, schools, churches,
homes, and social gatherings). As far as these people are alive, you will not
escape Kakoucheō and Antithesis. Keep reading because I will provide some vital keys to
stand and overcome their wickedness.
2. Insecurity
People hurt, fight, oppose and disgrace because of insecurity. Most
often, insecurity emanates from an inferiority complex. Inferiority complex
creates images of rejection, unworthiness, and shame in the subconscious mind.
People who fight you usually act out of low self-esteem.
In the attacker's mind, he feels he does not match up with you, so the
best way to overcome that mindset is to attack you. Anytime someone attacks you
for no reason or for a bit of offense that should not have attracted Kakoucheō and Antithesis, know that the person is suffering from insecurity
(inferiority complex). For more profound revelations, freely download and read
my book on how to break the spirit of inferiority.
3. Fear
Fear is an invisible spirit that makes a man act outside the will of
God. Fear is not of God because God has not given us the spirit of fear (see 2
Timothy 1:7). Fear shuts your eyes of faith and opens the door for the enemy to
manipulate you.
When someone is under the control of fear, he will do anything to harm
you. Because the person is determined to offend you, he initiates Kakoucheō and Antithesis. Analyze people who oppose others; they act out of
fear.
It is said that “the bark of a dog is not might but fright.” In other
words, dogs bark at people because of fear. Most animals attack when threatened.
In the same way, some people attack because of fear.
The fear that you will reject, ignore, forsake, or destroy them in the
future makes them exhibit Kakoucheō and Antithesis. For more profound revelations, freely download and
read my book, the mysteries of fear.
4. Jealousy
Some people attack out of envy. Some people see your glorious future, so
they devise ways to bring you down. They can visit shrines and pay money to
witches and wizards to cast curses and spells on you and your loved ones.
It is an act Kakoucheō and Antithesis. Like baby Moses, Pharoah assassinated the Jewish
children because he saw a new king (Moses) coming from that tribe. The birth of
Christ Jesus also got the attention of Herod.
Herod killed innocent children because of Jesus the Christ. Anytime
people oppose you or form a group to eliminate you from a specific position, it
can be jealousy. For more profound revelations about jealousy, freely download
and read my book, the mysteries of jealousy. Also, check out my article,
the
mysteries of household enemies for more wisdom keys.
5.
Acceptance of erroneous
advice
Life without sound counsel can be dangerous because we don’t know everything.
However, it is better to be ignorant than to receive corrupt advice. Some
people are experts at giving bad advice.
Jonadab is an example. He gave Amnon the best strategy to defile his half-sister,
Tamar. Amnon died prematurely because of his lust and the bad advice of Jonadab
(2 Samuel 13). Some people are experts in giving deceptive advice.
Be watchful of such people because they are pretenders. These people are
always fond of giving negative comments. If you find yourself among such
people, you will face opposition. You will face Kakoucheō and Antithesis because such people attract these spirits.
Like rainwater, it is clean and pure when it flows from heaven. However,
the rainwater becomes contaminated if it enters a polluted container. Some
people are like polluted containers.
It doesn’t matter how clean the water is; as soon as it falls into that
container, everything becomes impure. You will likely face Kakoucheō and Antithesis because of the false news these people have spread
about you.
6. Past experiences
Some people attack because of their bitter experiences. One thing you
must know about the experience is that it can stay in your heart for a long
time. Some people will attack you because they have categorized you in the same
arena as their former victim.
The attacker would say in his heart that this person might end up like
“Kofi Samson” or “Ama Lydia.” As these negative thoughts run through his soul,
he will devise ways to destroy you. I will oppose him with all my strength!
Meanwhile, he has not spoken to the person or observed the person for
some time to gather evidence. Experiences are good but don’t solely depend on
them because time and seasons make experiences null and void. Anytime you see
someone maltreating, opposing, fighting, or destroying others, check their past
experiences.
7. Demonic manipulation
Demons are agents of the devil. They oppose anything that brings glory
to Christ Jesus. Demons can work through human beings, animals, trees, tangible
things, and anything that has breath.
Some people are too vulnerable to the extent that demons can work
through them. With these people in your arena, expect Kakoucheō and Antithesis because demons get strength in an environment of
conflict, fear, confusion, pain, depression, disaster, and evil (meditate on
James 3:16).
If you are born again, you have the Spirit of discernment. You can
detect whether demons and evil spirits are controlling the person or people
opposing you. Demons are rebellious, wicked, tormenting spirits.
If they get hold of people, animals, buildings, trees, water bodies, or
anything that has breath, they can use that medium to oppose, destroy, and
eliminate you. Keep reading because I will provide some keys to counter these
wicked forces and satanic agents.
8. Mental problems
Some people attack because of psychological problems. As human beings,
we are limited because of the flesh. The flesh can generate diseases if you don’t
take care of it properly. Some foods are full of poisonous substances.
With these foods entering the body, it can affect the mind. The issues
of life, too, can affect the mind. When the mind becomes overburdened, it
behaves abnormally. Some people carry too many problems, and the only way to
offload their problems is to project attacks on you.
If you analyze most of the attackers, you will realize that they have
mental imbalances (partially insane). They might think they are doing the right
thing, not knowing they are harming you. People who often attack are not well
in the brain, so stay calm.
9.
You are operating outside
God’s will
Sometimes you will face Kakoucheō and Antithesis because you are walking outside the path of Christ
Jesus. God can be the one opposing you. He does not want you to perish, so He
puts stumbling blocks on the road.
God does that to make you return to the right path. God is love. He does
not want his children to perish. He wants you to end well, so he sends some
people to caution you. In the process of correction, some people may oppose
you. The opposition will bring you back to your senses. When you come back to
your senses, the people God sent to oppose you will stop worrying you (meditate on Proverbs 16:7).
10.
Faulty
foundation
Kakoucheō and Antithesis can emanate from bad foundations. If you have
not dealt with evil altars in your bloodline, generational curses following
your lineage, and evil covenants accusing you in the courts of heaven, the opposition can limit to your success.
One thing you must know about the devil and his cohorts is that they
operate with a license. Although some demons operate without laws, most work
strictly by laws, and one of the seeds that open doors for evil spirits to
fight you is sin. I recommend reading my article, the
mysteries of evil foundation and deliverance, for more profound
revelations.
11.
You
are in the perfect will of God
Christ Jesus was doing the will of God, yet some people (especially the
religious people) opposed him. In John chapter sixteen, verses thirty-three, Christ
Jesus promised us that we would have tribulations.
Christ Jesus promised that He had overcome the world. Some people will fight
you because you are in the perfect will of God. The enemy knows that your
accomplishment is expanding the kingdom of God, so it will use natural people
(unrepentant vessels) and demons to hinder you.
Don’t give up on the path of Christ Jesus. Keep up the good work because
it is the part of the cross we must carry as Christian believers. For more
profound revelation, check out my series of articles, the
adventures on the road to the Celestial City.
12.
You
are causing trouble in the kingdom of darkness
None of the twelve disciples died naturally except Apostle John. Some
were stoned to death. Some were crucified. Some were speared. Some were beaten
and abused to death. Several Apostles of Christ Jesus died unnaturally
because of the harm they brought to the kingdom of darkness.
The devil could not stand watching the kingdom of God expand, so he used
wicked leaders to assassinate the disciples of Christ Jesus. In the same way,
if you are doing the work of God, the devil and his agents will not watch you
depopulate their kingdom.
They will see you as a threat. The kingdom of darkness will do anything to
end your life. Glory to the King of Kings and Lord of Lords; they cannot kill
us unless God permits them.
You are an enemy of Satan and his cohorts as a Christian believer. The
only language the devil and his minions understand is war. They will give it to
you if you are on the path of Christ Jesus (meditate on 1 Peter 5:8-9,
Ephesians 6:10-18).
13.
Ignorance
Some people will fight you because they don’t know you. If they knew who
you were, they would not have attacked you in the first place. They would not
have issued curses and insults at you if they knew that you are called and
chosen by God Almighty.
Life is a school. Either you learn, or someone learns from you. Some
people are ignorant to the extent that they are ready to attack with their
mouths, money, connections, position, and power, not knowing what you stand
for.
It is part of life. Some may receive mercy. Some of your opposers, too,
will receive punishment from God. It goes in that way. Kakoucheō and Antithesis often emanate from ignorant people with no vision for
their lives.
14. Poverty
Some people attack because of financial depression, hopelessness, and
confusion. Most often, poor people have no vision or mission. They gossip and
attack people of vision and mission. Accept it as part of life.
Poor people are full of depression. They feel better when they bring
others down. Because they are going nowhere, they are determined to bring
others to their level through insults, false accusations, gossip, lies, and opposition.
Poor people’s mind is often full of negative thoughts. Anything that comes
out of them is offensive to humanity. If these people live around you, expect Kakoucheō and Antithesis. If you encounter these people, expect Kakoucheō and Antithesis.
Also, note that some poor people have good thoughts while some “rich”
people have evil thoughts. Freely download and read my book, the 40 types of
people and how to live with them, for more wisdom keys.
What
to do in the season of Kakoucheō and Antithesis
- Apply the key of Glōssa
Praying in the Spirit can liberate you from the evil energies people
projects at you. When you pray in the Spirit, the Holy Spirit fights for you in
the spiritual realm. Your battle becomes the battle of the Holy Spirit when you
pray in tongues (meditate on Romans 8:26-27).
One reason Apostle Paul could stand the season of Kakoucheō and Antithesis was that he applied the
key of Glōssa. If you are going to overcome the false accusation,
insults, depression, and attacks of the enemy, engage in tongues (the Holy
Spirit's way of prayer).
- Be
focused
One thing that keeps me going despite the opposition and adversity is
that I
am focused. Aside from praying in tongues, I have programmed myself to
be consistent. It doesn’t matter what I am going through; I keep moving forward.
With God’s grace available, I can do everything through Christ Jesus,
who strengthens me. I know my own strength is low to take me through Kakoucheō and Antithesis. My strength is in the Lord.
Because my strength is in Christ Jesus, I press toward the mark. I don’t
allow the negative words of others to distract me. With this mindset, the enemy
cannot stop me with the weapon of Kakoucheō and Antithesis. If you are going to be successful in your life
journey, apply this principle.
- Apply
wisdom
Take a break. Analyze the words of your enemies. Some of their offensive
words may be constructive. Pick constructive
criticism and work on it. Disregard the destructive criticism to
prolong your life.
- Stay
connected
Surround yourself with genuine people who love you from their hearts.
Have time with them to reduce some stress. Even machines depreciate when you
use them for a long time. You are not a machine.
Rest at the appropriate time. When you rest, your mind and other body
organs become fresh. The freshness of the body will drive some enemies away
because they will expect you to grow lean, but you are growing stronger and stronger.
- Apply the key of kôach
kôach
In the book of Revelation chapter twelve, Apostle John wrote that
Michael and his angels fought the dragon (the devil) and his angels (demons) in
heaven. Some enemies will not leave until you apply spiritual power.
Fasting, prayers, holiness lifestyle generates spiritual power. When you
fast and pray as the Holy Spirit leads, God and his angels will deal with the
enemy you cannot handle. If you are going to be successful in the field of Kakoucheō and Antithesis, apply the weapon
of kôach kôach.
- Apply the key of spiritual songs
Spiritual songs have the power to change the atmosphere. Fellowshipping
with the Holy Spirit through spiritual songs opens the portal for your
spirit, soul, and body to receive divine touch and encounter.
When you receive a touch from the Holy Spirit, the enemies bothering you
will depart. Like king Saul, the evil spirit tormenting him left when David
played spiritual songs. You need active emotions to live a victorious life.
Without spiritual
songs, the enemy can hijack your soul. The enemy can attack you when
you have no fellowship with the Holy Spirit. Engage in spiritual songs in the
season of Kakoucheō and Antithesis. You will see the power of the Holy Spirit breaking
the walls of the enemy.
- Be still
God is a Judge. He knows how to deal with enemies you cannot handle. You
don’t have to spend your precious time fighting some enemies because vengeance
belongs to Him (see Romans 12:19).
If you take all the battle, God and his angels will not be to help you.
Leave some battles to God by refusing to retaliate to the enemy’s provocation. In
the short run, the enemy might think he has won. God will show forth his power
if you exercise patience. You will see the power of God when you allow God and
his angels to tackle the case in the courts
of heaven.
