READ: 1 Kings 18:1-18
“Deliver me not over unto the will of mine enemies: for false witnesses are risen up against me, and such as breathe out cruelty.” – Psalm 27:12
Often people cover up their own sin by being the first to attack! They take the battle to the enemy’s gate by being the first to strike. Watch the accusers very well. They are often evil men with many things to hide. The author of accusation is the devil. “And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him. And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven…the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night” (Revelation 12:9-10).
God does not accuse anyone. This means that he who is truly righteous and holy does not accuse. It is he that is evil that does. Is it not ironical that Ahab would accuse Elijah of troubling Israel? Who was causing more trouble in Israel than Ahab? And yet this very person had the audacity to accuse Elijah of troubling Israel. “And it came to pass, when Ahab saw Elijah, that Ahab said unto him, Art thou he that troubleth Israel? And he answered, I have not troubled Israel; but thou, and thy father’s house, in that ye have forsaken the commandments of the LORD, and thou hast followed Baalim” (1 Kings 18: 17-18).
Mentally unstable people suffer from delusions. When a person has a delusion, he believes in things that are not true. He often accuses the other party of various crimes, which are not real. Watch the accuser very well. He or she may be suffering from a mental problem that needs medical attention
