Games the devil play with people.

A pastor warns that aging ministers become targets for the devil's attacks through dishonor and rejection. When good people withdraw respect, the devil sends false friends with occult backgrounds who offer fake honor, confusing the minister's judgment and opening the door to false prophets.
Chapters
This is a father in the body of Christ. Let's assume this is a father and he's close to the finishing line of his ministry. One of the ways the devil fights men like this is to fight them with dishonor. And like the case of Elisha, Get boys that be throwing stone. Bald-headed man, go away. Then this man— because never— you don't underestimate what rejection can even do to greatness. He's now put in a point, unless God helps him, that he's wandering. All that I have done with my life, have I failed? Then he enters another mode where he assumes everybody hates me. Once he can be in that place, the devil has him where he wants him. So once he can be in that place that nobody likes me, so now he's love-starved. What makes him love-starved? Dishonor. Then the devil now looks for his own children among the folk, those whose life behind the scene is bad. Some of them are occultic, some of them doing dangerous things. Then they will now get them to give him the honor that the people that he has blessed are silent about, then they will be the one to honor him. The moment he receives dishonor from them, he can never discern them. You'll be there saying, how can this man be a genuine man of God, but he can't discern that this person is a bad person? Dishonor presented by the good people, honor presented by the bad, kills discernment. False prophets will thrive around him, and you will be at the receiving end. So when you walk in dishonor, it will backfire because the natural heart of a man desires acceptance and honor. The devil will get his own to bring it. He can't disarm them, he will endorse them. It's a playbook. And when he endorse them, they will spread their poison. Well, he's on the way out. You are the one whose day will not be long because of their poisons. You are welcome.
