As you settle down to read this message, I would like you to put on your warfare armour and get ready to do some fighting today. The world is becoming a dangerous place. In fact, according to the Scriptures, the world is running mad and there is no gentle way of arresting a mad man. In the same way, there is no gentle way of arresting anything evil apart from violence.
Psalm 35:8
“Let destruction come upon him at unawares; and let his net that he hath hid catch himself: into that very destruction let him fall”.
The Bible is describing a situation where the enemy will fall into the trap that he has made. The Bible makes it clear that it is a correct prayer to command the enemy to carry his evil load.
Matthew 11:28-30
“Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light”.
Any other burden that you are bearing apart from the one that Jesus says is light here, is not from Him. It is from somewhere else. It is possible to be heavy laden and not know it. I pray that if you are carrying any evil load, you shall be set free today and the owner of the load will carry his load in the Name of Jesus. The Bible makes it clear to us that we are in the last days and it is being characterised by intensive demonic activities.
A Pastor in MFM boarded a bus and the driver took another direction; the passengers shouted and protested but when they saw guns and knives, they understood that they had been held hostage. The driver drove off the road into the bush and they went far into it. They got to a place and they asked them to get off the bus. They saw human body parts and they understood that they were in the hands of ritual killers. To the amazement of the Pastor, the commander in chief of the ritual killers was a woman. They started to cut off the breasts and other organs of the new arrivals. They were still alive as they were cutting off the organs. It is a wicked thing. The Pastor moved close to one of the women and told him that he is a Pastor and brought out his identity card. He said he is a child of God, that if they cut off his own organ, it would not work for them. The woman asked him what he was doing there and gave him a slap and asked him to leave. That was how God saved him. What happened to the others?
That is the type of intense demonic activities going on now. It should not be surprising, because the Bible says:
“Therefore rejoice ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! For the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time”.
(Revelation 12:12)
A taxi man in Abuja took some passengers and when they got to a place, they said they wanted to ease themselves and he stopped for them. They went into a bush and did not come out in time. The taxi man became impatient and curious and went to look for them. To his utter shock, he saw them turning into snakes. Nobody told him before he ran away from there.
Psalm 11:2
“For, lo, the wicked bend their bow; they make ready their arrow upon the string that they may privily shoot at the upright in heart”.
In this verse, the Bible says the wicked will specifically fire arrows at the righteous. The Bible also says that the enemy will attack without warning.
As a girl was entering an examination hall, someone called her name and gave her a handshake. She said she did not know the person and she left immediately. When she sat to write, her hand started to shake. It shook throughout the examination period; she could not write any thing. An arrow was fired into her hand.
Another woman came for counseling. She said her business was not moving well and I gave her this prayer point to pray for thirty minutes.
- Every arrow of poverty in my hand, manifest and jump out in the Name of Jesus.
She had not prayed for ten minutes, when her hands started to vibrate uncontrollably. That was the source of her problem.
Many people are going about with the load of the enemy in their lives. Sometimes, it is in one part of the body, sometimes, it is all over. Those things will not hinder people from reading the Bible; they will not stop people from getting to heaven; they are there to stop people from doing what God wants them to do. Just as poor Lazarus fed on the crumbs that fell from the rich man’s table; he had sores all over his body but he still got to heaven.
