Open Heavens 2014: Thursday July 10, daily devotion – SATAN INTIMIDATES



SATAN INTIMIDATES

Memorise:

The wicked flee when no man pursueth: but the righteous are bold as a lion. Proverbs 28:1

Bible in a Year:
Deuteronomy 1:1-2:25

Read: 1 Samuel 17:24-25
24 And all the men of Israel, when they saw the man, fled from him, and were sore afraid.
25 And the men of Israel said, Have ye seen this man that is come up? surely to defy Israel is he come up: and it shall be, that the man who killeth him, the king will enrich him with great riches, and will give him his daughter, and make his father's house free in Israel.
Message:

When Goliath came to the battlefield, he took the form of a big problem but later he became a big opportunity. He came as a mighty obstacle but turned into a mighty door of opportunity when God stepped in. Every giant who stands in your way this season shall become a door to your breakthrough in Jesus’ Name. The Redemption Camp grounds used to be the headquarters of highway armed robbers as well as the abode of big snakes. The first snake that was killed there was about 16 feet (about 5 metres) long; it was very big. A snake of that size was enough to drive anybody away from the camp grounds. However, we did not see it as a problem but as an opportunity. Today, the Redemption Camp has become the headquarters of the Redeemed Christian Church of God and is fast becoming a city. I decree that every problem that is standing in your way will soon become a point of testimony!

Every child of destiny must expect obstacles but surmount them in the name of the Lord. After trusting God for several years for a car, one of my sons was finally blessed with one. He got a brother to teach him how to drive. As they drove on the highway, they got arrested by the police. After scaling through that, another government traffic agency arrested them, claiming they did not have correct papers. On getting to the office of the agency, they brought out all their papers and asked the officers to tell them what was missing. It was then the officers realised their papers were complete but they would not own up to their mischief. They collected money from them before releasing them. That experience almost made him resolve never to drive again. However, he refused to be intimidated and today, he has changed cars. The devil still intimidates! If he cannot prevent the blessing from coming, he will try to intimidate the fellow to a point of going back on the steps he had taken. Have you given your first fruits and the devil is trying to intimidate you by stirring up feelings of regret? Don’t be intimidated! Any problem that surfaces after you received a blessing may just be Satan’s way of harassing or intimidating you. Stand on God’s word and prayerfully resist him.

Prayer Point:
Every satanic harassment over my life, family, business and destiny, I resist you in the mighty Name of Jesus!

New- Better than Queen Esther Book

A book is a door to someone's discovery. An access to an invaluable reservoir of knowledge and understanding. More importantly, a book inspired by God's word, is much more invaluable. Nothing can be compared to the unsearchable wisdom embedded in the depth of God's word being dug out in simple terms in form of a book. *Better than Queen Esther* is a epitome of divine touch in prints for today's generations and the ones unborn. Mysteries are revealed, practical indoctrination is simplified. It's the best birthday gift for that couple, friend, pastor, cousin, colleague... It touches relationship, marriage, power, position, leadership, self control and mastery. Get a copy from  Jumia

Let Thy Pain Drive Thee

N ecessity, they say, is the mother of invention. Something becomes a necessity when its presence is required; its absence might also cause a little amount of pain. So, when people begin to find alternatives to reducing these pain, invention sprung up. So, I say, “let thy pain direct thee”. Life has never been a bed of roses and it will never be as long as humanity exist. Therefore, we all should expect pain in different levels. Sometimes the pain might be more. Other times, it might be less. But the fact remains that we will all experience pain in different aspect of our lives. But more importantly is the ability to learn from every pain we suffer or endure. Over the years, I realized that every good thing is wrapped in the arms of pain. Therefore, to claim a good thing, one has to overpower pain to achieve this goodness. Globally, economic and financial reports over decades have shown that inflation, depreciation and losses are consistent with human lives. In fact, the so c...

She also took advantage of the short distanc...
