Failure to serve God wisely

 Not everyone on God's side is actually supportive of the Father and those He sends. You can be on someone's side but serve Him so foolishly and poorly that you do more to help the opposition. That is the case with the vast majority of servants of God today. They are like Nabal https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nabal who by being so foolish in failing to 'step up' for God's servant, king David, was almost treated as an enemy by David. In the end God gave a due comeuppance. When you step out in God's service you come across so many like this that it looks like the whole world serves Satan when in fact there are many of them who merely serve God with great foolishness and incompetence. This is why it is harder for the rich to enter the kingdom of God, because a lot is expected of them and it is easier to fall short in meeting those expectations. Wealth makes it harder to serve God and muddies the water of distinguishing who serves God and who serves Satan or Mammon.
