“…for a great and effective door has opened to me and
there are many adversaries”
1Corintians 16v9
Born
again Christians are to have it behind their minds that every great and
effective door is opposed by the forces of hell. For many in the world today,
you and I are their opened doors. But I have good news for you;
“Who is he that overcomes the world, but he who
believes that JESUS is the son of GOD” 1John5:5
Because
you have received JESUS CHRIST and are now born again, those opposing forces
can’t block you, but they try to do it in most cases because we do not put them
where they belong. As Christian we live by the kingdom’s rules on earth. The
devil’s road blocks don’t apply to us because we are travelling at top speed on
the highways of God. Daniel was a Prophet of GOD, how come the answer to his
prayer was withheld? He was not aware of the speed at which Heaven attend to
our prayers and that the enemy wasn’t happy with his request reaching him.
However,
as I take you on this ride you will contact an insight into your blessings that
no force of hell can ever comprehend. The long time you have been on the queue
notwithstanding. Bless you
KEY STRATEGY
“…how can one enter a strong man’s house and plunder
his good unless he first binds the strong man? And then he will plunder his
house” Matthew 12v29
It
is important that we note that those opposing forces are strong men, because it
will only take a strong man to oppose an Angel e.g. prince of Persia in Daniel
10. You will agree with me that it is important we identify who these strong men
are, how powerful they are and the instrument with which to bind them. By the
time we are through, the devil will no more hinder your blessings because you
now know his tricks and that he is a defeated foe.
WHO ARE THESE STRONG MEN?
“Be sober, be vigilant, because your adversary the
devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour” 1Peter 5v8
“The thief does not come except to steal, to kill and
to destroy…” John 10v10
It
is now evident that our major enemy here is the devil (strong man) and he will
go to any length to stop us from receiving our blessings even to the extent of
pretending to be what he is not.
Friends
I will like for you to know that the devil is not happy about our salvation but
the fact that we are born again does not stop him from putting other plans in
place just to hinder us from getting what belongs to you. Satan the devil is
there the strong man that needs to be contended with.
HOW POWERFUL IS HE?
“…your adversary the devil walks about LIKE a roaring
lion…” 1Peter5v8
We
will need to pay rapt attention to this; documentary reveals that when the lion
reaches a certain age, it can’t chase its prey again, it uses its voices as its
trap to catch its prey, how? Whenever it sight’s a prey, it roars and the prey
freezes for fear then the lion pounces on it with little or no strength. That
is exactly what the devil is doing to many Christian today.
The
devil is not a lion, there is only one real lion and that is the LION OF THE
TRIBE OF JUDAH. For instances, many Christian are sick today as a result of
their freezing from the roaring of the fake lion, the devil via the Doctors
report, giving your simple tiredness a name that carries all the alphabets,
tell me how this fake lion wouldn’t take you for a ride.
Note
this today, the so called strong man is as powerless as a fly and his place is
under our feet not in our homes, business or our bodies, he only pretends to be
who he is not. You will agree with me that the roaring names given to issues of
life today are the access points through which the devil enters such situations.
The fear of AIDS kill more today than the virus does. What he does is drop a
signal like a blind man or thief who wants to know if anybody is around
watching, before launching into action.
The
devil receives your response of exclamation and fear first and you know that
the moment fear sets in; it will take the grace of GOD to escape such an
attack. It holds onto your words in response to what you have seen or heard and
uses them against you. So the next time you hear, feel or see anything
contradicting your peace, health, finances etc don’t be afraid, only believe
that there is one with you with whom all things are possible. He can change and
make anything, so kill fear first and replace it with faith. You know, the
devil knows that as soon as he is able to capture your faith he has captured
you peace and future, you are now a captive in his hands. This is where many
are today, I therefore send this epistle into the world as God hand to touch
the weakness of every feeble out there in Jesus name, Amen!
TAKE THE DEVIL FOR A RIDE
The
name strong man is an irony of who the devil really is to the children of GOD
and to his shame also because we as Christian have to contend with him. Just as
I wrote in an earlier epistle that the original rules the counterfeit, the
devil is only a counterfeit. He is nothing to reckon with but a toothless bull
dog.
You
can’t successfully take the devil for a ride without a quality first class walk
with God so as not to become his victims like the seven sons of one sceva in
Acts 19 who thought they could deal with God on a third party ground. Scripture
says the devil made a real mess of them because they were said to have fled the
venue naked. That is why scripture admonishes that His law mustn’t at any time
depart from our mouth, Joshua 1v8. However you can’t have His words in your
mouth and not have God in there. So it is your relationship with God that gives
you a ride on the back of the devil.
