READ: LUKE
10:17-20
As children
of God, our victory is certain. We cannot fail but we should watch and pray and
also stand firm. The devil does not want us to enjoy the blessings of God. He
is always devising diabolical strategies to deprive us of our bona fide
blessings. For instance, if your progress has been halted, you need to quickly
find out the cause. If you have been prospering in your business but, suddenly,
you start piling up debts, you have to find out the cause. If you had been
passing all your examinations but suddenly begin to fail, you need to find out
why this is so. If your progress has been halted and you are finding problems
where there used to be peace, you have to find out what is blocking your way.
If it is a demon that is blocking your way, there is no problem because,
according to Mark 16:17, the Lord said: “And these signs will follow those who
believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new
tongues.” All you have to do to get rid of the demon is to pronounce a
decree. From the day you became born-again, according to the word of God that
is forever settled, you have become a king. Christ has made us kings and
priests to His Father. If you are a true child of God, you will rule by
decrees. When you decree a thing it shall be established unto you (Job 22:28).
Whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in Heaven (Matthew 18:18). T might
curses blocking your ways. If there is a curse in your life, ask your pastor to
break it. The most difficult situation, however, is when it is an angel sent by
God that is blocking your way. When you tell the angel to get out of your way
in the name of Jesus Christ, he would tell you that it is Jesus Christ that has
sent him to block your way. The Bible tells us in Genesis 3:23-24 that when God
drove Adam and Eve out of the garden of Eden, He placed an angel there with a
flaming sword, to stop them from coming back. What do you do if it is an angel
blocking your way? All you have to do is repent, make your ways right with God
and he will remove the barrier.
MEMORIZE:
1 PETER 2:9 –But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy
nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who
called you out of darkness into His marvelous light;
