Topic:THE DANGER OF CONSULTING OTHER gods



Beloved, occult and witchcraft involvement is a highway to destruction; it is another origin of curses. Whatever gives you an image to bow to; whatever gives you a point of contact to relate with is involving you in the occult realm.

SCRIPTURE: Regard not them that have familiar spirits, neither seek after wizards, to be defiled by them: I am the Lord your God. Leviticus 19:31

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Occult and witchcraft involvement is a highway to destruction.

Sometime ago, a man testified in one of our church services about how he was invited somewhere by someone who wanted to show him how to make quick money. The place he went to did not look evil but the first thing they asked him to bring was a cock, and when he brought the cock, his father died. They demanded for the second cock and when he brought it, his mother died. He brought the third cock, and another member of his family died, but his condition remained the same – no prosperity. Then, he realized that the cocks he had taken there for sacrifice represented the members of his family and he decided to run for his life.

Beloved, occult and witchcraft involvement is a highway to destruction; it is another origin of curses. Whatever gives you an image to bow to; whatever gives you a point of contact to relate with is involving you in the occult realm. Consulting native or witch doctors and involvement with the occult invite a curse. People may tell you: “You don’t have to come to the native doctor yourself; send us money, let’s do something for you.” Now, that is a trap. Do not send a dime no matter how terrible the situation is because it is an invitation unto curse and destruction.

Another origin of the curse is enchantment and divination. This is the situation where someone is limited in life by satanic enchantment. Many people are in affliction because an agent of darkness is making enchantment against them, but I decree upon your life today: every enchantment and divination against your life and destiny is neutralized by the Blood of Jesus.

Remember this: Occult and witchcraft involvement is a highway to destruction.

ASSIGNMENT(S):

1. Refuse to consult other gods; refuse to be involved in the occult and witchcraft.

2. Repent and disconnect yourself from every form of evil.

3. Make demands on the Blood of Jesus for the termination of every spell of limitation around your life.

PRAYER: O Lord, cause Your light to shine into my life and terminate every darkness around me. I command every spell or enchantment against my life, family and destiny to catch fire, in Jesus’ Name.

Smallness is Not Godliness – By Pastor David Ibiyeomie





TOPIC: Smallness is Not Godliness


It is not the will of God for you to be small.

Jeremiah 30:19 And out of them shall proceed thanksgiving and the voice of them that make merry: and I will multiply them, and they shall not be few; I will also glorify them, and they shall not be small.

So God is saying that as He multiplies us, He will glorify us. Smallness therefore, is not godliness. To be small does not make you look like God at all. God wants you big. Not all winners in life sweat to win. Covenant abundance means you do not sweat to succeed. There is a difference between hard work and hard life.

Adam never lived in lack until he fell. Jesus, the second Adam, never knew any lack all through His life here on earth. In times of challenges and lack, He knew what to do as He did in the incident of the feeding of the 5,000 in John 6. What Adam lost to satan, Jesus recovered to us. However, enjoying it is conditional. Jesus said,

John 8:32 And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.

If you do not know the truth, hardship continues! Ignorance therefore is the reason why many are still in lack. Because the Bible says;

Proverbs 13:15 Good understanding giveth favour: but the way of transgressors is hard.

The Amplified Bible renders it this way; “But the way of the ignorant is hard.” So hardship is a function of ignorance. If you are passing through any kind of hardship, the reason is because you are ignorant.

Isaiah 5:13 Therefore, my people are gone into captivity, because they have no knowledge: and their honourable men are famished, and their multitude dried up with thirst.

Lack of knowledge is the reason why many Christians are passing through hardship; not because of the economy of the country. If it so, why are others prospering? I want you to know that hardship is not strange. Our covenant fathers saw famine in their days but in the midst of it, they prospered (Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph). If you know what to do in the midst of any hardship, you will come out on top. You can disappoint disappointments with knowledge. That is, when you know what to do, you can walk out of every disappointment.

For you to enjoy covenant abundance on your way to the top, sitting down to think is very important. Not just mere thinking, but productive thinking. Most times when Christians are facing a challenge, people are quick to ask them, “have you prayed?” rarely does anyone ask, “have you spent time to think about this issue?” Analytical thinking will bring you out of any hardship. There is a time to pray and a time to sit down and think.

Isaiah 30:7 For the Egyptians shall help in vain, and to no purpose: therefore have I cried concerning this, Their strength is to sit still.

That is, stop running to unbelievers; that is not where the answer is. Your strength is in you sitting down to think. When people have financial challenge, their minds always run first to man, “maybe that my uncle can help me.” But I am challenging you to an approach that never ceases to work. Sit down and think! Handle issues productively. Sit down and use your brain to get the gain you desire.

Isaiah 30:15 For thus saith the Lord GOD, the Holy One of Israel; In returning and rest shall ye be saved; in quietness and in confidence shall be your strength: and ye would not.

Luke 14:28 For which of you, intending to build a tower, sitteth not down first, and counteth the cost, whether he have sufficient to finish it?

There is a great treasure inside of you but God will not give you all the answer until you sit down. You have put in all manner of prayer request everywhere, yet nothing has happened.

Isaiah 30:21 And thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, This is the way, walk ye in it, when ye turn to the right hand, and when ye turn to the left.

Every time you come to a cross-road, know that there is an answer somewhere and the answer is inside you not in your running around. I am not saying that prayer is not important; the church need to move on to productive thinking.

The prodigal son did not pray any prayer; he sat down to think and then he found the way out. Then he arose and moved out of abjectpoverty without prayers and no devil could stop him (Luke 15:17-20).

This is not just mere intellectual exercise but rubbing your mind with the Creator’s mind for divine inspiration that will bring you out of the situation you are in. That is not learnt in school. It is time to start reasoning. Begin now to engage the mind of Christ which you received at new birth.

Say to yourself, “I will start thinking.”

I command your mind to be open now in the precious name of Jesus! You will never be stranded again in life!

God bless you

Dear reader,

 

There is no limit to the pleasures and blessings God can bring to all areas of your life; your family life inclusive. Success in your family life is God’s will for you but it does not come by chance, neither is it an accidental occurrence. It takes conscious, deliberate and calculated steps to enjoy successful family life.

 

Today, many are frustrated, unhappy, fed up because of several family challenges they are facing. As my husband would rightly say, it is scriptural to be challenged, but it is unscriptural to be defeated. If you are married and experiencing turbulence in your family life, all you need to do is apply the principles contained in God’s Word and the storm will cease. The Bible says in Joshua 1:8, This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.

 

There are principles you must align with if you desire to overcome family challenges. Let me show you one of such principles.



Gratitude

Several homes today are experiencing dis-harmony, simply because they have not put the principle of gratitude to work in their homes. Remember I said success in your family life is a conscious and deliberate step. Some wives never appreciate their husband’s efforts, no matter what he does or how much he spends, it is just never enough. On the other hand, some husbands find it difficult to appreciate their wives’ inputs at home. No matter how much effort she puts into the smooth running of the home, he comes in from work and begins to find faults in all she has done, shouting and yelling at everybody. The woman soon becomes weary and feels she can never please him. Learn to say ‘Thank you’ for every little act of kindness, and see how exciting your marriage will become.

 

It is also necessary to appreciate the various inputs of those who live with you and lend a helping hand around the house. Even if you come home to discover that your house-help has done something wrong, don’t start yelling at her and calling her names. You can start by acknowledging the things she has done right, and then call her attention to the things not well done. When she does something well, learn to say Thank you. Never forget that good words are worth much more and cost little. You should also learn to say Thank you to your children when they do thank-worthy things.  Remember, gratitude is what determines altitude.

To live a life of gratitude like Jesus, you need to accept Him as your Lord and personal Saviour by being born again. If you want to be born again, please pray this prayer with faith in your heart:  Dear Lord Jesus Christ, I come to You today. I am a sinner. Forgive me my sins and cleanse me with Your Blood. I accept You as my Lord and personal Saviour. Make me a child of God today. Thank You for delivering me from sin and satan to serve the living God and thank You for accepting me into Your Kingdom.



Congratulations! If you prayed this simple prayer of faith with me, you are now born again and a child of God. He loves you and will never leave you. Read your Bible daily, obey God’s Word and seek Christian fellowship (John 14:21).

Topic: The danger of Parental Iniquity

Many people are victims of disastrous parental transactions; innocent and ignorant children are suffering from what their parents or ancestors did that they knew nothing about. 

SCRIPTURE: The leprosy therefore of Naaman shall cleave unto thee, and unto thy seed for ever. And he went out from his presence a leper as white as snow. 2 Kings 5:27

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: The good news is, as a child of God, curses from your father’s iniquity is not permitted to be upon you. 

There is a direct linkage between the origin or source of a challenge and its solution. That is why it has been said that when the source of a problem is known, the problem is half solved. Yesterday, we saw personal iniquity as one of the origins of curses. Today, we are looking at Parental iniquity or wickedness as another origin of curses.

Many people are victims of disastrous parental transactions; innocent and ignorant children are suffering from what their parents or ancestors did that they knew nothing about. 

In Numbers 16:1-33, we saw that everyone around Korah, Dathan and Abiram, and anything pertaining to them perished. The families of Korah, Dathan and Abiram were not directly involved, but the wickedness of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram brought judgment upon them. Many people did not do evil but the evil their fathers did is fighting them. 

Now, the good news is, as a child of God, curses from your father’s iniquity are not permitted to be upon you (Galatians 3:13, 2 Corinthians 5:17). And if you are in that condition, your freedom is released and established now, in Jesus’ Name.

In 2 Kings 5:27, Elisha cursed Gehazi saying, “The leprosy therefore of Naaman shall cleave unto you and unto your children forever.” and Elisha went out from his presence a leper as white as snow. In Israel today, anyone who is a descendant of Gehazi could be a leper except Jehovah intervened. 

I prophesy to you, any curse against your life as a result of your father’s iniquity is reversed by the Blood of Jesus.

Remember this: The good news is, as a child of God curses from your father’s iniquity is not permitted to be upon you.  

ASSIGNMENT(S):

1. Make demands on the Blood of Jesus to blot out any curse or negative voice speaking against your life.

2. If you are involved in a wrong and wicked practice, repent in order not to incur curses and transfer them on your children.  

PRAYER: By the speaking Blood of Jesus Christ, I silence every voice or curse speaking against my life, family and destiny, Lord, in Jesus’ Name.
