INTRODUCTION:
An evil conspiracy is a secret plot orchestrated by wicked individuals or satanic forces to harm, delay, or destroy a person’s destiny. Many great men in the Bible, including Joseph, Daniel, Mordecai, and Paul, faced conspiracies but were delivered by God. As believers, we must understand that the enemy often conspires against our progress, but through prayer, wisdom, and divine intervention, we shall overcome.

4. HOW TO OVERCOME EVIL CONSPIRACIES
Victory comes through divine strategies.
- a) Seek divine wisdom and discretion (Proverbs 3:5-6)
God gives wisdom to escape the enemy’s traps. - b) Engage in spiritual warfare prayers (2 Corinthians 10:4-5)
