Evil Triumphs When Good Men Do Nothing

I saw this phrase on one of the MJYFers T-shirt. (If I am not mistaken , it was Brandon's). I pondered about the phrase and the following came to mind :

When we see our friends do things that violate the school rules / laws of the nation do we do nothing ?

When we see our friends being blatantly disobedient to their parents do we do nothing ?

When we hear curse/swear words being uttered , do we do nothing ?

When we know that our friends are watching porn , do we do nothing ?

When we see our friends cheat , do we do nothing ?

When we know that our friends are drinking excessively or doing drugs , do we do nothing ?

When we know that our friends are getting too touchy & romantic with their boy/girlfriends , do we do nothing ?

When we see our friends displaying ungodly character , do we do nothing ?

When we see ourselves doing the above things , do we do nothing ?

When we do nothing … keep silent ….that's when evil spreads itself across the land. Sooner or later, it will affect the landscape of our lives.

The devil prowls around like a lion seeking whom it may devour. The devil wants to see Christians do nothing . The devil is afraid when we stand up and do something. As God's children , we must be brave and stand up to do something ; for He that is in us is greater than he that is in the world. So we must take courage that we can do all things through Christ who strengthens us.

My prayer for you is that you may have God's wisdom to rise up to do something. The Bible says in the last days we will see many who are lovers of themselves, lovers of money , arrogant , disobedient to parents, traitors,blasphemers.... and the list goes on. One of my desires, is to see our youths today , rising up and making a stand for Christ, not ashamed of Christ but being strong & steadfast , crushing the enemy's plans.

Together let us rise up, take the challenge and make a difference !

I wrote this article for the Youth newsletter to challenge them but I think we ourselves called to be ambassadors for Christ in the market place or in our homes also needs to act .Many opportunities will present itself in our lives and in each instance we have to choose what we are to do. When we act as God directs us to , we will be able to do great things for His kingdom.
