TAKE AUTHORITY OVER SATAN



By Rev.Michael. Benson Ajayi
       Luke4:7 "If thou  therefore wilt worship me, all shall be thine. And Jesus answered and said unto him,  Get thee behind me, Satan: for it is  written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve."
      Jesus stripped Satan off all power over humanity through the power of the cross, the scriptures says in Matthew 28 : 18 "And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying,  All power is given unto me  in heaven and in earth". The powers governing all spiritual realms are under the control of Jesus Christ .He is the supreme head of all mystical societies and occult groups.
             The scriptures speaks of His preeminence   in  Colossians 2:9-10 AMP "For in Him the whole fullness of Deity (the Godhead) continues to dwell in bodily form [giving complete expression of the divine nature]. And you are in Him, made full and having come to fullness of life [in Christ you too are filled with the Godhead–Father, Son and Holy Spirit–and reach full spiritual stature]. And He is the Head of all rule and authority [of every angelic principality and power]." what this means is that  born again Christians have been exalted over every principality, power and authority in the universe.  We have been given the power of attorney to execute judgment over the powers in the underworld and the astral realm on behalf of Jesus Christ.
        We are the embodiment of and the expression of God’s divine nature in the universe and our bodies are the extension of Jesus' body thus, whoever makes contact with us physically, contacts Christ literally: it is an aberration to say that a born again christian is possessed by demons or has a so-called spiritual husband or wife, THIS IS ABSOLUTELY IMPOSSIBLE.  For this to be possible, Jesus Christ would have to relinquish His powers to Satan,  darkness rule over  light and the Heavenly father would have to surrender to  and worship  Satan. God forbid. But,  many preachers preach this ignorantly,  thereby giving room for Satan's manipulation and deception in the lives of their followers.   This is evident in what is popularly known as 'special deliverances ' where some demons are made to appear so powerful ,requiring  more effort and sacrifices ( usually money ) before a person could be freed from them. In reality the process of freeing a person from demonic strongholds is as easy as switching on a light bulb, Jesus demonstrated this in  Matthew 15:22-28 ,while teaching a woman the scriptures,  her daughter was delivered from an evil spirit.
       Whenever the knowledge of divine illumination appears, spiritual darkness disappears at the same speed with which we receive the truth in scriptures . Demonic activities thrive on the ignorance of men about the wonderful work of Jesus Christ on the cross.  That is why Satan strongly opposes teachers of God’s word and God commands that we support them financially in their work of spreading the gospel (Galatians 6:6).   It is the radical approach to the  spreading of the gospel through our financial contributions that brings about the liberation of nations through the teaching of the gospel ( Zechariah 1:17) . In these last days God's grace for overflowing abundance is being released upon the few that are committed to this course and they shall shine as light in the midst of darkness.  The scriptures says of these persons in Psalm 37:19 AMP "They shall not be put to shame in the time of evil; and in the days of famine they shall be satisfied" they shall flourish regardless of the global economic downturn.
        We are delivered from the dominion of Satan and demons Colossians 1:13 AMP says "[The Father] has delivered and drawn us to Himself out of the control and the dominion of darkness and has transferred us into the kingdom of the Son of His love," what this means is that we are beyond the reach  and manipulation of any form of spiritual "remote control "( If any exist ,Matthew 28:18), for that to be possible,  such a remote controlling device must be strong enough to control God, the Holy Ghost,  Jesus Christ,  the universe,  the Angels of heaven, because the born again christian is backed up by these entities and permanently dwells in their midst as the scriptures says in Hebrews 12:23-24 AMP "And to the church (assembly) of the Firstborn who are registered [as citizens] in heaven, and to the God Who is Judge of all, and to the spirits of the righteous (the redeemed in heaven) who have been made perfect, And to Jesus, the Mediator (Go-between, Agent) of a new covenant, and to the sprinkled blood which speaks [of mercy], a better and nobler and more gracious message than the blood of Abel [which cried out for vengeance]. [Gen. 4:10.]". These are the forces the so-called witch doctor, marine spirits, mystic etc would have to contend with before they can  oppress a born-again Christian.
       It is an exercise in futility because all power has been given to Jesus and He in turn has given UNLIMITED Power to the church. If you are born again and still afraid of Satan and his demons, if you've been having nightmares , Jesus is saying to you right this moment  "Behold! I have given you authority and power to trample upon serpents and scorpions, and [physical and mental strength and ability] over all the power that the enemy [possesses]; and nothing shall in any way harm you."Luke 10:19 AMP . Resist the devil's plan to take control over your mind ; receive the knowledge of God's word and he will flee (James 4:7).
Prayer : Heavenly Father forgive me for my sins against you, I believe Jesus Christ died and was raised again for my salvation,  I receive him as lord and saviour  and receive overwhelming peace of mind and freedom from the fear of  demons  in Jesus name.

IS THE FIRST BORN CURSED ?

Image
 Rev.Michael Benson Ajayi Genesis. 49:3 -4 "Reuben, thou art my firstborn, my might, and the beginning of my strength, the excellency of dignity, and the excellency of power:Unstable as water, thou shalt not  excel; because thou wentest up to thy father’s bed; then defiledst  thou it: he went up to my couch. "         The theology that says the first-born child going through  life's  difficulties is a victim of the curse of the firstborn is unfounded in scripture and counter-productive. Those who teach this often make reference to Gen.49:3-4 to buttress their claim. For there to be a curse, there has to be a justifiable cause for it. It is important that a clear distinction be made between a curse and the trials of life. The word  'curse' is the Hebrew word 'Arar' which means to be: hated ,despised as in Genesis 12:3" ..and curse him that curseth thee:.... "  God does not hate the first-born child but loves them (John...

GOD HATES DISUNITY .

By Rev. Michael Benson Ajayi  "Two people are better off than one, for they can help each other succeed. If one person falls, the other can reach out and help. But someone who falls alone is in real trouble."Ecclesiastes 4:9‭-‬10 NLTBible  "A person standing alone can be attacked and defeated, but two can stand back-to-back and conquer. Three are even better, for a triple-braided cord is not easily broken." Ecclesiastes 4:12 NLTBible      The Lord wants us to have unity , the body of believers is like the human body that can only function optimally when every part is functioning effectively and contributing its potentials to the other parts of the body.     Disunity is like losing a part of your body , this results in loss in strength and potentials and capacity to perform . The lord wants us to be united. " Dear brothers and sisters, I close my letter with these last words: Be joyful. Grow to maturity. Encourage each other. Live in harmony and pe...

CONSEQUENCES OF LACK OF FAITH

Image
By Rev. Michael Benson Ajayi " Be careful then, dear brothers and sisters. Make sure that your own hearts are not evil and unbelieving, turning you away from the living God." Hebrews 3:12 NLTBible  ' Then he said to Thomas, “Put your finger here, and look at my hands. Put your hand into the wound in my side. Don’t be faithless any longer. Believe!”John 20:27 NLTBible     Faith is the guarantee of the manifestation an unseen reality . It is the reason behind the hope we have in God and the fulfilment of his promises. It is the substance ( title deed) of things hoped for ,the evidence of things not seen (Hebrew 11:1) .The Bible warns against not having faith in God. Lack of faith is equal to calling God a liar and untrustworthy. This type of reasoning turns us into enemy's of God.    The gospel is so much under attack by the activities of faithless religionists . They plan to replace the holy scripture with humanistic dogma. The danger in this is the relative...
