Oppositions In Lord Of The Flies Persuasive Speech

The battle grows stronger as men are confronted by attacks by oppositions and this therefore creating courage against Compromise! These oppositions are overtly seeking to draw men closer by employing deceptions and by attacking vulnerabilities of the man; his body, his mind and his soul.
The attacks come first from the world; who hates men because of their confession that Jesus Christ is his Lord and Savior. The world hates men who worships a God for himself and not one that is in the form of a 30-inch chain dangling around his neck; the world hates men who are seen loving his children and taking responsibility as their father.
The second attack is the flesh. The desires of the flesh get control as it is easily satisfied with one press
of the on-button of the cellular phone, where there is immediate access to virtual pleasure that takes the flesh to a place of secrecy and silence. The flesh also enjoys a secret place where man gets preference when he dials a 900 number and listens to that soft voice that tells him to first “give me the 16-digit card number, the expiration date of the card and that 3-digit security number on the reverse side of that Platinum credit card. The voice then begins to tell the man how strong he sounds and how she would love to carry him to paradise if only she could be with him. There is movement, and the man quietly disappears into the guest bedroom; locks the door as his being extends forward beyond normal. He forgets that he is watching his family while his wife is at Bible Study. He is interrupted and his sons knocks on the door and asks, “daddy, what are you doing in there?” The flesh desires attention and if not careful it will accomplish its mission, even if it means hiding to achieve a release. The third and final attack is from our adversary himself, the devil.
He wants to destroy all men and take control over the man’s family. So, he (the devil) encourages compromise over courage. He wants to see men distracted by the “gusto” a man gets after a slightly chilled draft; by advocating pride over obedience; by whispering deceit into the man’s ear, such as; “your Pastor will never know that your mission trip is the cover-up for an excursion with your assistant ministry leader (your wife’s sister). Further, the devil puts his hands over your eyes and leads you to destruction. He enjoys men abusing their positions as ministry leaders. So he (the devil) is satisfied when a ministry
fails.
The goals of the opposition (world, flesh and devil) are simple. They are calculated to (covertly or overtly) convince men to choose compromise over courage. To combat the oppositions and to choose courage counter to compromise, men need to be developed in their disciplines (their physical, emotional and Spiritual disciplines).
It is through their developed that disciplined men can do what is required and choose what is right when it is needed or when it is necessary to police his emotions, his desires, his actions and yes, his oppositions. The disciplined man is not born with attributes to police himself against oppositions. Nevertheless, when learned and fully developed, men are conditioned to control themselves in a variety of scenarios. Without discipline, men are not totally free.
When disciplined men are developed through deliberate plans from their fathers, from other men and from their church, a transformation begins.
With this transformation, impulses bent towards his emotions, his desires and his actions are now turned so they are developed to be used to be a blessing, in any situation.
When fathers invest love, modeling and time into their sons, love, modeling and time are developed into discipline that builds physiological development.
When men are connected in fellowship with other men, in a place where sharing examples of life from experiences, the environment is favorable for psychological development.
But then, when men join the local church where teaching, guidance and the truth is based on the Word of God and Scriptures come alive, an induction is beginning to develop men’s Spiritual Discipline. Spiritual Disciplines that are (and will be) essential for men’s survival because men are targets of an invisible adversary and with an enemy whose objective is to destroy ALL men.
So men must be in a Truth Revealing environment in order to open-up his heart for the acceptance of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is the touchstone that men need to activate courage against
oppositions.
