*Charis Daily Devotionals – Tuesday, 19th August 2025* *Frustrated but Not Finished* *Author:* Louis Mulongoti > *_“They bribed officials to work against them and frustrate their plans during the entire reign of Cyrus king of Persia and down to the reign of Darius king of Persia.”— Ezra 4:5 NIV_* Opposition is often the clearest sign that you are building something significant. The Israelites had received divine permission to rebuild, yet enemies arose to frustrate their efforts, through bribery, manipulation, and persistence across regimes. This reveals how demonic resistance can infiltrate systems and linger across seasons, all to wear out the saints. Yet, let this truth anchor your spirit: frustration is not final. Though the enemy delayed the work, he could not destroy it. God’s agenda may be resisted, but it can never be reversed. If you’re facing spiritual or systemic resistance, do not retreat, press deeper into the presence of God, war in prayer, and wait for divine vindication. > *_“Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.” — Romans 12:21 NIV_* *Prayer/Confession* Father, I declare that no force, seen or unseen, can stop Your purpose in my life. Though resistance comes, I will not be shaken. I walk in divine timing, divine favour, and divine authority, in Jesus Christ's mighty name.
