DECLARE YOUR VICTORY OVER THE ENEMY

   By Rev. Michael Benson Ajayi


'He who sins is of the devil, for the devil has sinned from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil.' I John 3:8 NKJVBible

'Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you."Luke 10:19 NKJVBible

   The battle between good and evil is ongoing with no break periods and there are no neutral grounds in this battlefield : a person is either on God's side or Satan's . “I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I could wish you were cold or hot.  So then, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will vomit you out of My mouth."Revelation 3:15‭-‬16 NKJVBible

    An inactive Christian is as dangerous as the enemy , he or she is like a weapon that would not function in the battlefield . The believer is a light to a dark world . A light that refuses to illuminate a dark world is part of darkness  (Matt6;23)

    In our battle against the devil it is important to know that Satan is not as powerful as portrayed in many religious cycles . 

     Satan (Lucifer )is a creation of God " The Lord has made all for Himself, Yes, even the wicked for the day of doom."Proverbs 16:4 NKJV Bible. Jesus Christ ( The Word of God's power) is the creator of all things , Satan inclusive, the scripture says 

   " For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created  through Him and for Him. "Colossians 1:16 NKJVBible, (John 1:3) Angels were created with the ability to make choices . Satan was in heaven  as a cherub (Ezekiel 28:14,15)  and was removed when pride was found in him (Isaiah 14:12-15) those with pride are in danger of the same condemnation as the devil " not a novice, lest being puffed up with pride he fall into the same condemnation as the devil."I Timothy 3:6 NKJVBible. 

   The devil can only go as far as God permits . He is under God's restrictions and control . (Job1;6-12, 2:1-7) God controls every event in the world , nothing goes unnoticed ." ...That the Most High rules in the kingdom of men, Gives it to whomever He will, And sets over it the lowest of men.’ Daniel 4:17 NKJVBible

   Despite his Lordship over the earth God allows the devil to rule within limitations , he plays a role in the church in the execution of divine judgment  " deliver such a one to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that his spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus." I Corinthians 5:5 NKJVBible

    God's power is greater than Satan's (Luke10:18-19, Phi.2:9-11) and Jesus Christ defeated the Devil on our behalf through the Cross (Heb.2;14-15 ,1Jn3:8) 

   Jesus Christ has the power to cast out devils (Matt8:16, Matt12:28) and has given His disciples (us) power over demons too. The Bible says "And when He had called His twelve disciples to Him, He gave them power over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all kinds of sickness and all kinds of disease."Matthew 10:1 NKJVBible ( Luke9:1;Acts5:16) 

  Jesus Christ gives all believers power over the devil and his demons ,that includes you too "And these signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons; ..Mark 16:17 NKJVBible. An example of a prayer to cast out a demons says " you demon causing drunkenness and depression be gone out of ( mention name of victim) in the name of Jesus Christ. Make sure the person is part of a bible believing church to avoid reprisal attacks . ( Matthew12:43-45)

  Prayer : Heavenly father forgive me of 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 the Holy Ghost and power over demonic operations in Jesus name.

BREAK EVIL FAMILY PATTERNS

Image
 By Rev.Michael Benson Ajayi  Titus 1:12 -14 "One of themselves,   even a prophet of their own, said, The Cretians   are alway liars, evil beasts, slow bellies.  This  witness is true. Wherefore rebuke them sharply,  that they may be sound in the faith;  Not giving  heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of  men, that turn from the truth."       The church in Crete was in disarray and the apostle assigned Titus to go and put things in order . On investigation it was discovered the church suffered from a vicious cycle of evil family  patterns. They were not enjoying the fruits of the salvation experience . An example of evil family patterns is that of King David who defiled Uriah's wife ,murdered him and his son Absalom murdered his brother Amnon (2Sam13) dethroned him and defiled his concubines openly (2Samuel16). His son Amnon defiled his sister Tamar (2Sam.13) and so on yet David was the anointed of the Lord....

COMMON CAUSES OF DISUNITY.

 By Rev Michael Benson Ajayi "Even some men from your own group will rise up and distort the truth in order to draw a following."Acts 20:30 NLT   "An angry person starts fights; a hot-tempered person commits all kinds of sin." Proverbs 29:22 NLTBible        Disunity is defined as : disagreement and conflict within a group. It is the greatest hindrance to the promotion of the gospel of Jesus Christ. Disunity creates an avenue for Satan to promote sin.       The causes of disunity are not farfetched ,they include : Unhealthy Crave for power or self- promotion. Whenever there is an unhealthy pursuit of influence in a family or group it results in resistance. Self-promotion gives birth to unfair practices and injustices. In Numbers 12: 1-15  Moses' sister Miriam and Aaron rebelled against him desiring to rule by force and in Numbers 16 :1-35 Korah led an insurrection against Moses desiring to be part of leadership. In both cases ,God wa...

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...
