11
Put on the armor of God so that you may be able to stand firm against the tactics of the devil.
14 So stand fast with your loins girded in truth, clothed with righteousness as a breastplate,
CHILD OF GOD HAPPY NEW WEEK. I AM SURE WE’LL BE TALKING A LOT ABOUT EPHESIANS THIS WEEK. WHEN THE LORD REVEALS THEN HE WANTS TO REDEEM. MANY PEOPLE SUFFER FROM FEAR OF THE UNKNOWN, THEY ARE AFRAID OF THE DEVIL BECAUSE OF THE THINGS HE’S IMPLANTED IN THEIR MINDS, BECAUSE OF THE KIND OF DREAMS THEY’VE BEEN HAVING, ETC. OTHER PEOPLE MISINTERPRET EITHER THE SCRIPTURES OR THE DREAMS THEY HAVE AND BECAUSE OF THIS THEY MAGNIFY THE DEVIL A LOT AND SO FIND IT DIFFICULT TO COME OUT OF HIS HANDS. I THANK GOD FOR THOSE WHO ARE IN SIFYM BECAUSE MOST OF THEM HAVE STOPPED SUFFERING FROM NIGHTMARES AS THEY USED TO DO IN THE PAST YEARS. THE TEACHINGS AND REVELATIONS WE RECEIVE HAVE MADE THE PEOPLE TO BE STRONG AND I PRAY YOU TOO GET STRONGER BY THE DAY.
THE SCRIPTURE RECOMMENDS THAT YOU PUT ON THE WHOLE ARMOUR OF GOD. CHILD OF GOD, IT IS NOT YOUR ARMOUR, IT IS GOD’S ARMOUR. THE BIBLE ALSO SAYS YOU SHOULD GIRD YOURSELF WITH THE TRUTH. THE WHOLE ARMOUR OF GOD YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO WEAR IN ORDER TO STAND FORM AGAINST THE WILES OF THE WICKED, THE TRICKS OF THE DEVIL, THE MANIPULATIONS OF THE PIT OF HELL IS THE TRUTH WHICH IS THE WORD OF GOD. THE WORD OF GOD IS THE ONLY WEAPON THAT BRINGS DOWN THE DEVIL. GLORY TO GOD
CHILD OF GOD, THE BIBLE SAYS THE DEVIL IS THE ACCUSER OF THE BRETHREN. THERE WAS A TIME WHEN WE HAD OUR MONTH END SERVICE WHICH USED TO BE CALLED HEALING AND DELIVERANCE SERVICE. THANK GOD TODAY EACH OF OUR SERVICES IS A HEALING SERVICE. THERE WERE A GOOD NUMBER OF INTERCESSORS WHO USED TO ASSIST IN THE DELIVERANCE’S. THERE ARE TIMES WHEN WE USED TO STAY IN CHURCH UP TILL 3PM TO HANDLE ALL THE CASES OF THE DAY. ONE DAY ONE OF THE INTERCESSORS WAS HOLDING A PERSON WHO WAS MANIFESTING AND THE PERSON TURNED AND LOOKED AT THE HIM AND REBUKED HIM BY SAYING” WHO ARE YOU TO HOLD ME WHEN YOU GO AROUND COMMITTING IMMORALITY IN THE WHOLE PLACE”. THE BOY FELT SO GUILTY AND LEFT THE SCENE. ANOTHER PERSON WHO WAS MANIFESTING ALSO CHALLENGED AN INTERCESSOR BY CALLING HER A GOSSIP. CHILD OF GOD, WHAT DO YOU THINK THE DEVIL WAS DOING? HE WAS ACCUSING THESE INTERCESSORS SO THAT THEY WILL FEEL GUILTY AND BE AFRAID OF FURTHER EMBARRASSMENT. THOSE ARE THE TRICKS OF THE DEVIL. HE USES INFORMATION HE GOT TO EMBARRASS YOU OR CAUSE FEAR. THAT IS THE REASON WHY WE ASK PEOPLE TO STOP TALKING ABOUT THEIR LIVES BUT THEY CONTINUE TO TALK CARELESSLY ABOUT THEIR AFFAIRS. CHILD OF GOD, THE MORE YOU TALK ABOUT YOUR LIFE, THE MORE THE DEVIL HAS REASONS TO ACCUSE YOU.
LOOK AT THE STORY OF ADAM AND EVE IN THE GARDEN. AFTER THEY SINNED, THEY WERE DISCONNECTED FROM THEIR RIGHTEOUSNESS WHICH WAS THE TRUTH. THE DEVIL GAVE THEM A COUNTER TRUTH AND WHEN THEY HEARD GOD COMING THEY HID THEMSELVES. THEY WERE NOW HIDING FROM THE PRESENCE OF THE LORD. WHY WERE THEY HIDING CHILD OF GOD? ACCORDING TO THEM, THEY WERE HIDING BECAUSE THEY WERE NAKED. THE LORD ASKED THEM WHO TOLD THEM THAT THEY WERE NAKED? THEY DIDN’T ANSWER. CHILD OF GOD, WHO DO YOU THINK TOLD THEM THEY WERE NAKED? IT IS THE ACCUSER. SATAN TOLD THEM THAT BECAUSE THEY WERE NAKED THEY COULD NO LONGER STAND IN THE PRESENCE OF THE LORD.
CHILD OF GOD, WHAT YOU NEED TO BE ABLE TO STAND AGAINST THE WILES OF THE ENEMY IS THE TRUTH. THE DEVIL IS THE MASTER OF ALL TRICKS. HE WENT TO JESUS AND SAID IF YOU ARE SURE YOU ARE THE SON OF GOD THEN TURN THESE STONES INTO BREAD AND EAT. JESUS COUNTERACTED HIM WITH THE TRUTH, NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH. THE TRUTH THAT IS IN THE SCRIPTURES. THE ACCUSER ALWAYS GATHERS INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR WEAKNESSES AND TRESPASSES. ON THE DAY THE LORD WANTS TO BLESS YOU, HE SURFACES WITH HIS RECORDS OF YOUR SINS TO ACCUSE YOU. THE DEVIL WILL ACCUSE YOU IF HE KNOWS YOU ALWAYS TELL LIES, IF YOU ARE ALWAYS ANGRY, IF YOU ARE ALWAYS BITTER, VIOLENT, THEN HE WILL USE THIS TRUTH ABOUT YOUR LIFE TO ACCUSE YOU AND THEN YOU WILL SHRINK AND WILL NOT BE ABLE TO STAND.
CHILD OF GOD, YESTERDAY IN CHURCH I TALKED ABOUT THE FACT THAT PEOPLE DON’T WORSHIP GOD OR PRAISE HIM. THE TRUTH IS THAT MANY PEOPLE DON’T EVEN COME TO CHURCH WHEN IT IS WORSHIP OR PRAISE. THEY PREFER TO BE ALERT ONLY WHEN IT IS TIME TO PRAY AND FIRE THE DEVIL. THIS SHOWS THAT THEY ARE AFRAID OF THE DEVIL. CHRISTIANS ARE NOT AFRAID OF THE GOD THAT PROTECTS THEM, THEY ARE NOT AFRAID OF THE GOD THAT DELIVERS THEM. THEY ARE NOT AFRAID OF THE FAITHFUL AND RIGHTEOUS GOD BUT THEY ARE AFRAID OF THE WICKED DEVIL. CHILD OF GOD, IT IS ONLY GOD’S TRUTH THAT CAN DELIVER YOU FROM THE WICKED ONE.
CHILD OF GOD, LET’S GO BACK MEMORY LANE. REMEMBER THAT AFRICA WAS COLONIZED BY THE WHITES. THE EUROPEANS GOT INTO PROJECTS LIKE RAILWAY CONSTRUCTION. IN THE COURSE OF THIS, THEY HAD TO UPROOT TREES, EVEN THE HUGE TREES THAT HAD BEEN THERE FOR YEARS AND THE TREES USED TO HAVE ALTARS AND GODS. THESE TREES WERE ANCESTRAL PLACES OF WORSHIPING. THERE WERE ALSO STONES THAT WERE WORSHIP GROUNDS. BUT WHEN THE WHITES CAME AND WANTED TO MAKE A RAILWAY THEY BROKE THE STONES AND UPROOTED TREES. HISTORY SAYS THAT SOME OF THE INDIGENTS USED TO OPPOSE THE DESTRUCTION OF THESE THEIR CULTIST SITES BUT THE WHITES WOULD FINALLY DESTROY THEM AND MOVE ON WITH THEIR PROJECTS.
CHILD OF GOD, THERE WERE POWERS IN THOSE PLACES. THE PEOPLE WHO WERE BUILDING THE BRIDGES, ROADS, RAILROADS,ETC WERE NOT BELIEVERS BUT THEY KNEW SOMETHING IN THEIR HEART. THEY KNEW ALL THOSE THINGS WERE NOT REAL.
CHILD OF GOD, WHY DO YOU THINK THEY ACTED THIS WAY? THEY KNEW THE INDIGENTS MADE THESE THINGS THEMSELVES. THE QUESTION IS WHY DID THESE DEMONIC POWERS NOT DESTROY THE WHITE WORKERS? CHILD OF GOD, LOOK AT WHAT THE CHINESE ARE DOING TODAY ALL OVER THE COUNTRY BUILDING THINGS HERE AND THERE? THEY KNOW AND THEY BELIEVE THAT THESE SO CALLED GODS CAN’T AFFECT THEM.
CHILD OF GOD, READ THE WORD OF GOD AND PUT ON THE WHOLE ARMOUR OF GOD WHICH IS THE TRUTH.WHEN YOU PUT ON THIS TRUTH YOU BECOME THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD IN CHRIST JESUS SO WHEN THE DEVIL WANTS TO CONFRONT YOU, WHAT HE SEES IS NOT THE GUILTY PERSON YOU ARE. HE SEES THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST AND THAT IS WHAT REDEEMS YOU, THAT IS WHAT SAVES YOU, THAT IS WHAT GIVES YOU THE VICTORY CHILD OF GOD.
THE BIBLE SAYS NONE IS RIGHTEOUS BUT EVERYONE SHOULD ENDEAVOR TO BUILD THEIR FAITH. CHILD OF GOD, IT IS NOT BY MIGHT, IT IS NOT BY POWER BUT IT IS BY THE SPIRIT OF GOD. YOU MUST BE STRONG WILLED AND KNOW THAT YOU ARE THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD THEREFORE NO WEAPON FORMED AGAINST YOU SHALL PROSPER. THE BIBLE SAYS THEY SHALL SURELY GATHER BUT THEY SHALL NEVER PREVAIL AGAINST YOU. THE TRUTH IS THAT DARKNESS SHALL NEVER PREVAIL OVER THE LIGHT. HALLELUJAH
CHILD OF GOD, YOU ARE THE LIGHT. YOU ARE THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD. IF YOU REMEMBER TWO SUNDAYS AGO, I TOLD YOU THAT JESUS IS SITED FAR ABOVE EVERYTHING OR PERSON. SO IF YOU ARE SITED WITH JESUS CHILD OF GOD THEN THE DEVIL CAN’T EVEN COME CLOSE TO YOU BECAUSE HE CAN’T GO CLOSE TO JESUS. THE ONLY TIME THE DEVIL CAME CLOSE TO JESUS IS WHEN JESUS CAME TO REDEEM THE WORLD. NOW THAT JESUS HAS GONE BACK TO THE FATHER, THE DEVIL CAN NEVER APPROACH HIM. GLORY TO GOD
CHILD OF GOD, WORK OUT YOUR SALVATION. WORK ON YOUR FAITH. STOP BEING PRETENTIOUS. STOP BEING A DOUBLE MINDED PERSON. STOP BEING FILLED WITH PRIDE AND HATRED. IF YOU COUNT ON THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF THE LORD, IT WILL SAVE YOU. IF YOU COUNT ON YOUR OWN RIGHTEOUSNESS OR ABILITY TO WORK OUT THINGS, TO SAVE YOURSELF OR TO DELIVER YOURSELF THEN YOU ARE MISSING THE POINT. THE ACCUSER WILL ALWAYS BRING YOU DOWN. THAT LIAR, CRAFTY LUCIFER WILL BRING YOU DOWN.
CHILD OF GOD, PUT YOUR TRUST IN THE LORD. KNOWLEDGE OF THE TRUTH WILL STOP YOU FROM DEPENDING ON PEOPLE TO SEND YOU HOLY WATER, STICKERS AND WHATEVER THAT THEY SAY WILL PROTECT YOU.
CHILD OF GOD, NOTHING CAN PROTECT YOU EXCEPT THE WORD OF GOD. SO MAKE YOUR WAY STRAIGHT WITH THE LORD. WALK IN THE WAY FOR JESUS CHRIST IS THE WAY AND YOU WILL BE SAVED YOU AND YOUR LOVED ONES IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST.
AMEN
