BECOMING THE MAN THE DEVIL OBEYS

By -


 (summary of today’s lesson @The Ministers Chapel Harare)
When the 7 sons of sceva went to cast out demons in someone they were attacked by the demons and like them many have been attacked by the devil while they try to cast such spirit out (Acts 19:13).
Today we shall be summarizing on how to become the man the devil can never disobey.
First of all, every believer in Christ can cast out devils (Mark 16:17, James 4:7) and the devils dare not resist rather he flees the bible says.
How then do you function in this realm?
 (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when YOUR OBEDIENCE IS FULFILLED. 2Cor. 10:4-6
The devil obeys those whose obedience have been fulfilled and for your obedience to be fulfilled, you must
Obey God (Job 9:4): those who don’t obey God’s word won’t be obeyed by the devil. From time to time we would be faced with divine instructions to do certain things which looks so impossible to obey to like Hosea (Hosea 1:2) that was asked by God to marry a prostitute, he went ahead and married her though it means he has to be sharing his wife with all the men in town, its difficult but he dare not divorce her because as a servant of God he must obey God. To keep the devil in obedience, you must learn to obey God even in difficult situations.
Obey your authorities (Rom. 13:1): when you don’t obey the authority God has placed above you, the devil won’t obey you. Aaron the High priest and Miriam the Prophetess thought because they were also been used by God that they could challenge Moses their spiritual head (though he was their younger sibling) but God intervened and warned them seriously (Num. 12). You don’t instruct your spiritual head or correct, you only advice and suggest and if he doesn’t take your advice don’t disobey him. Whatsoever our spiritual heads tell us is an instruction but whatsoever we tell them is an opinion, learn to maintain this instruction-opinion relationship with your heads.
Obey yourself (Mat. 5:37); if you don’t keep to your words, even God wont keep to it take less of the devil. Be a man of your words, let your ‘yes’ be your ‘yes’ and your ‘no’ be ‘no’. learn to observe and obey yourself, whatsoever you’ve said you’ll do, surely do it. If you keep to your words, the devil will keep to your words.
See the devil the way he is (Isa. 14:16): dont see the devil the way he has shown you he is or the way the world has painted him even some churches to be rather see him the way the scripture described him ‘disarmed, dethroned and powerless foe Col 2:15’ if you’ve not seen the devil the way he is, you cant rebuke him.
God bless you.

EVIL

By -
WHEN GOD ALLOWS EVIL ON THE RIGHTEOUS When Christ the righteous was allowed to be crucified in the midst of the guilty, He resurrected in Glory and the enemy was defeated and put to shame. God doesn’t allow evil come on the righteous except He has planned to use the devices of the evil against the righteous to put the evil planner to shame. When the wicked is prospering in his evil against the righteous, it’s because God wants to by the evil of the evil doer puts him to shame. If you have questions over the prosperity of wickedness over your life though you believe in God, think on why God allowed the devil succeeded in killing Christ and what happened afterwards, Christ resurrected in greater glory and the devil was forever defeated before Christ. As it was for Christ so it would be for you, that enemy that is prospering over your life now though you believe in God, will be brought low via his wickedness and you’ll resurrect to greater glory and restoration Pr 11:5 ¶ The

THE STRUGGLE FOR WHOM TO BELIEVE

By -
After a program back in Nigeria early last year, a woman met me by the car and wants me pray for her conception, since she had a first son, having another has been difficult. As I was about to pray for her, I told her she is now pregnant by the word of God (Ex 23:26). After few days, she called to say, she went for medical test and the report isn’t so, and I replied, God is far above medical science, she said ‘amen’. She went for test again after few more days and the result was negative and she called and told me its negative, I laughed and said, Doc’s of these days are so blind, they see things late. She was surprised at my reply. She went for the third test after few more days, and result was still negative but this time, she told herself, I am pregnant because God has said so and by that she rejected the doctor’s report of negativity and thus the fourth test announced itself; an experienced mother asked her, are you pregnant? Instead of saying no according to the doc,

ORDAINED TO BE FRUITFUL

By -
Someone said because of the suffering he was passing through that God has ordained it therefore he is going to accept the financial barrenness as part of God’s plan for him. (I will therefore present my discussion with him like a drama) Me: (I looked at him and asked him) how do you know this barrenness is God’s plan for you? He:   If it’s not God’s plan, why hasn’t God done anything about my situation? Me: How does God change or create a situation isn’t it by His word as in creation? He: Yes Me: Has He spoken that you’ll be barren in life through His word to you? He: Not actually, but that’s what am experiencing, that’s how I feel right now Me: If your experience and feeling isn’t in accordance to God’s word, then your feeling and experience is devilish Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples. John 15:8 God is so happy when you are fruitful in life; when you give birth to kids, it excites God, when you get results in
