During World War II, psychological warfare was heavily employed by each warring nation to demoralize enemy soldiers.
One of the methods used to spread this negative propaganda was a kind of bomb called the leaflet bombs. These leaflets, written in a way to inflict doubts and fear into the minds of the readers were often dropped by bomber planes over the enemy population. Some of the leaflets were filled with messages specifically targeted at the fighting soldiers to cause them to lose their motivation and enthusiasm.
For example, some leaflets depicted scenes of marital infidelity, a theme that no doubt touched on the insecurity of some of the soldiers, who were far away from their wives and homes. Also warning leaflets of impending destructive attacks were dropped on these soldiers to create fear in their hearts.
In many cases the intended effect of this psychological warfare succeeded. Some soldiers became intimidated and so much fear was instilled in their hearts that they lost every motivation to persevere in battles and easily surrendered their fights and abandoned their objective of winning.
Christians are spiritually attacked with a similar strategy. Through words of fear and discouragement, the enemy seeks to infiltrate the minds of believers to get them to stop their work and abandon the promise from God.
When Nehemiah received a mandate from God to rebuild the walls of Jerusalem, he and the Jews began this work with excitement and zeal and the people worked with all their heart.
However, soon after, the enemy began to bring negative propaganda of impending attacks which made the people so afraid and discouraged that they abandoned the work, saying “We cannot rebuild the wall.”
However Nehemiah encouraged the people to keep their gaze on God, and not on the fearful propaganda of their enemies. He told them `Don’t be afraid of them. Remember the Lord, who is great and awesome.’” (Nehemiah 4:14)
As a result of putting their focus on God, the same people who had earlier cried “we cannot rebuild the wall” completed the work in 52 days.
Just like Nehemiah, God has called many of us to build and accomplish great things. However, it seems that we have had to sometimes contend with negative news and discouragements .
No matter how impossible it may seem, nothing will stop the manifestations of God’s promise as long as we stay in faith.
As we remain full of faith, giving glory to God, our breaking forth on every side will surely become a reality.
PRAYER; Lord, I thank You that what You have promised to do in my life this year will surely find full expression in this season. I will indeed break forth to unprecedented heights in Jesus Name.
