DEMONS HINDER DESTINIES
Memorise: But he answered and
said, Every plant, which my heavenly Father hath not planted, shall be rooted
up. Mathew 15:13
Bible Text: Luke 8:1-3
Bible in one year: Exodus 18:1-20:21,
Romans 9:19-10:4
As a believer in Christ, one of the traits that
should differentiate you from an ordinary fellow is the ability to cast out
demons (Mark 16:17). However, if demons
are tormenting you and you fail to do something about them, don’t expect God to
do anything either. He has already done what He should do by giving you
authority over them. He expects you to exercise this authority before He takes
the next step of enforcement. The ball is now in your court; if you fail to
pass it to Him, He will leave you with the ball. In 2nd
Kings 4:1-7, we read of a window whose husband was a prophet. The
man died and left her with two boys and a lot of debt. Initially, when the
creator came calling, she was not the only one owing money, she might have said
to herself like some people in Nigeria would say: “Even Nigeria as a nation is
indebted, and so in America for that matter; so what is the big deal if I owe
people money”? Although the Almighty God was there on His throne with all His
power, might, zeal and resources, He could not do anything to help her for as
long as she tolerated poverty, lack and debt. But one day, tired of repeated
fruitless visits, her creator came and threatened to sell her sons into slavery
if she was unable to pay the debt. Pushed to the wall, she cried out for help,
and help came. She was delivered from the threat that would have hindered her
boys from fulfilling their destinies. When will you be tired of managing or
condoning your unpleasant situation?
Let us note a few things about deliverance. It is a
great thing to be delivered. Mary Magdalene was delivered of seven powerful
demons and she eventually became a divine treasurer. Her destiny was to be a
divine treasurer ministering to the needs of Jesus, but for as long as the
demons were in her, she could not fulfil this. This simply tells us that one
way the devil tries to hinder a person from fulfilling his or her destiny is by
sending one or more demons to possess him or her. When such demons come into
that individual, they will give the original purpose of God. When an evil
spirit took over the position of the Holy Spirit in the heart of King Saul, he
became tormented. Demons torment their victims tremendously. If you have been
delivered from the hands of demons, you will appreciate your freedom. Are you
still allowing demons to hinder your destiny? It’s time to confront them today!
Jesus wants to set you free. You just need to cooperate with Him.
Prayer Point:Father, send Your
fire to chase out the presence and manipulating effect of demons in my life,
family and ministry
