Why The Devil Hates Women

Sunday, May 31, 2026 Summary

Have you ever noticed the enemy’s particular hostility toward women? From physical appearance to social roles, from Eve in the Garden of Eden to the present day, Satan has consistently deployed a targeted strategy against women. Why such hatred? In this powerful Mother’s Day message, Dr. Raoul Wafo sheds light on this important question.

I — The Original Dignity of Woman

God never created woman as an inferior being. Go back to Genesis 1:26–28: the mandate to rule and exercise dominion was not given to man alone, but to mankind—both men and women. Together, they were created to reign, govern, and reflect God's glory.

1. Man was created first to represent leadership, authority, and influence (Genesis 2:18).
2. Woman is not inferior—they are equal in nature; the distinction lies in God's order of authority.
3. To be a helper means possessing qualities, abilities, and strengths—it is a position of power, not weakness.

As Dr. Wafo reminds us:

"Being strong and gifted does not give us the right to be rebellious."

Look at Jesus: equal with the Father, yet willingly submitted within God's divine order. Submission is never about value; it is about God's design and structure.

II — Why Does the Enemy Hate Women?

Genesis 3:14–15 reveals the answer: God placed enmity between the serpent and the woman. Satan knows that she carries a unique anointing destined to crush his head. That is why he relentlessly attacks women through:

1. The slavery of appearance—making you believe your worth is tied to your physical beauty.
2. Manipulated inequalities—using social injustices to fuel rebellion.
3. Violence in all its forms—physical, verbal, emotional, and psychological.
4. Role confusion—pulling you away from God's original purpose.

But hear this liberating truth:

"Happiness does not come from other people; it comes from how we see ourselves and from understanding how God sees us."
— Dr. Raoul Wafo

III — The Power of Submission

1 Corinthians 11:9–10 teaches that woman was created for man. This spiritual principle is so significant that even angels pay attention to it.

"There are things that will only happen for women who have learned to fear God."
— Dr. Raoul Wafo

According to 1 Peter 3:1–6, submission is not weakness—it is a spiritual weapon.

"Submission is the voluntary decision to place yourself under someone's authority."
— Dr. Raoul Wafo

"You are not submissive because your husband is perfect; you are submissive because you fear God."
— Dr. Raoul Wafo

And here is the key:

"Every time you try to force things yourself, you prevent God from acting on your behalf."
— Dr. Raoul Wafo

IV — A Word to Mothers

Titus 2:3–5 provides a blueprint for godly women. Mother, you have a prophetic role in the lives of your children and the next generation:

1. Define yourself by your inner character, not by your appearance.
2. Renew your mind—this is the most important work after salvation.
3. Embrace God's thoughts and perspectives—it is a lifelong pursuit and daily investment.
4. Become God's friend—because Satan hates you, you must stay close to the One who loves you.

A woman fully submitted to God becomes a terror to the kingdom of darkness. That is why the devil fights you: he knows the damage you can inflict on his kingdom when you walk in God's purpose.

Conclusion

Woman of God, blessed mother, you are not a victim—you are victorious. The devil hates you because he fears you. Genesis 3:15 sealed his fate: your offspring would crush his head. Therefore, reject the bondage of appearance, refuse rebellion disguised as empowerment, and embrace your God-given identity.

"A woman is meant to be God's friend because Satan hates her."
— Dr. Raoul Wafo

Choose today to walk in your original dignity: a co-ruler alongside man, submitted to God, and empowered by the Holy Spirit.

We're in this together.

And stay strong despite the contrary winds.
