CHAPTER ONE
I PLUG MYSELF INTO YOUR RESURRECTION POWER
What do we mean by the power of resurrection? Why is it beneficial to plug your life into the power of resurrection? There are many mysteries in the word of God. Some mysteries can be understood but most mysteries cannot be understood. The mystery I want to talk about is the mystery, which few people understand. The Bible says:
"that I may know him and the power of His resurrection, and may share His sufferings, becoming like Him in His death," Phil 3:10
There is a power known as the resurrection power. It was this power that Apostle Paul prayed that he might know.
The power of resurrection is so great and has so many mighty functions that Apostle Paul prayed to know it. Apostle Paul prayed these prayer points thirty years after he was born-again. If after thirty years of conversion and preaching the signs and wonders of God Apostle Paul still prayed to know the power of His resurrection then we have a long way to go.
There are some mysteries about God and His power of resurrection you do not know. That is the reason why you need to understand the mystery behind God's power. When you proclaim that you plug yourself into His resurrection power you will know what you are saying.
This is what the psalmist was talking about in the book of Psalm. The Bible says:
"Let the groans of the prisoners come before thee; according to thy great power preserve those doomed to die"! Psalm 79:11.
There is a power that creates. There is a power that energizes. There is a quickening power. There is a power that maketh life. There is a power that can make alive and also kill. Jesus Christ said, "I am he that liveth and was dead. I have the key to life and death".
Most powers can kill but cannot make alive. But there is a power that can make alive and kill. There is a voice that can speak to the dead and no matter how dead the person is the dead will hear. Unfortunately there are so many weapons of God that we don't use at all and we are not even aware of. In our ignorance we neglect this weapon at our own peril.
When you understand the mystery of the power of resurrection and you know how to key into it, your life changes. Jesus Christ said, "I am the resurrection and the life". The Bible says that, in the beginning was the word and the word was with God and the word was God. All things were made by Him.
There is a word that creates and that makes alive. The Bible says "By Him all things consist". All things were made by Him and for Him. Whether visible or invisible whether dominion, principal powers were made by Him and by Him all things consist.
This means that there is a power that you can draw upon and it will change all situations.
WHAT DO WE MEAN BY THE POWER OF RESURRECTION?
It is the power that maketh alive.
Whether it is spiritual, physical, material, business, marriage, finance and anything that is dead. There is a power that can make them alive. When the power of resurrection comes into play, it makes doctors, and surgeons fools because it operates in an extra-ordinary way.
A lady whose kidney, heart and every organ in her body collapsed was rushed to the hospital in a wheelchair. When the doctors in that hospital examined her, they said she cannot survive it. They did numerous tests for her and everything was abnormal. The lady was so weak but she managed to tell them to give her the phone. She managed to call me and all she said was pray immediately. I started praying for her on the phone. The next morning, she was up and running.
When she got to the hospital, the doctors were surprised at her condition. They did the test all over again and everything was normal. That was the power of resurrection at work. When the power of resurrection is at work, all doctors' reports turn to lies; dried bones will come alive. When somebody has been written off that is when the wind of power of resurrection blows.
A woman came from London to her husband unannounced; By the time she got home she met a strange woman in her own house. The woman was very angry and there was a big fight. The strange woman ran inside and packed her belongings but before she left, she poured a portion of poison in the woman's food. The woman ate the food and problem started. The husband rushed his wife to the hospital and she was admitted. He went and called the strange woman to come back home. At the hospital, the woman received her healing through the power of resurrection and went back home. As she got home she met the strange woman again and she commanded that the strange woman should go away. The next morning the strange woman never woke up again. That was how she died. The same power of resurrection that maketh life can kill without using hands. The same power that healed the woman killed the strange woman.
The power of resurrection is the power that makes things to consist.
It is the power that changes dried bones. It is the power that speaks creative words. It is the power that the Bible refers to as "Though dead but yet it speaks"
The power of resurrection is the power that accumulates holy fire within your body.
If the fire runs through your body, anything that God did not plant in your body will come out by force.
The power of resurrection is the power that destroys stagnation through the elimination of decay.
Once it removes the decay, the stagnancy stops. It is part of the power of resurrection that will empower you to make the rapture. It is the power that makes the angel of life to stir the water of your life. The angel that comes to trouble the water of Bethesda troubled it with the power of resurrection.
The power of resurrection is the bread of life.
It is the power that raises the physically and spiritually dead. It is a power that speaks living words to dead things.
A man saw me in France where I spoke to a spoilt refrigerator. At first he thought I was mad but suddenly, the refrigerator started working. When he bought his own fridge, it was not working. He came to meet me to speak to his own fridge but I refuse and said he should do it himself.
Jesus Christ was an expert at speaking to inanimate objects. This same power heals and kills the diseases. The power of resurrection is a power that speaks words that are respected in the grave. It is the power that speaks words that scare away death. It is the power that enables you to swim in the healing waters.
It is the power for you to die to self and to be alive in Christ. It is the power that arrests coffin spirits. It is this power that pours water of life into desert situations. It is the power that has the key of hell and death. It is the power that gives liberation and complete deliverance. That is why when you plug yourself into this power, wonders will begin to happen in your life.

When you are plugged to this power, all the programme of death assigned to your life will be terminated. When you are plugged into this power, the evil name given to you by the enemies will be changed. When you are plugged into this power all those contrary and untidy programmes will be terminated.
CHAPTER TWO
DESTROYING THE POWER OF GRAVEYARD SPIRIT
A lot of mysteries surround the graveyard.
"Let me not be ashamed, O LORD; for I have called upon thee: let the wicked be ashamed, and let them be silent in the grave". Psalm 31:17
There is a spiritual entity and a location known as the grave.
"But God will redeem my soul from the power of the grave: for he shall receive me. Selah". Psalm 49:15
The grave has some powers. The Psalmist was still very much alive when he said this. Because of this power of the grave, when Jesus died, He had to go to that grave.
"By which also he went and preached unto the spirits in prison". I Peter 3:19
Jesus went down into the grave to preach to the spirits that were held in prison. There is a prison in the grave and we need to understand that.
"O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?" I Cor. 15:55
Certain facts can be deduced from these passages we have read. However the question is what do we mean by Grave Yard?
We mean the cemetery. It is a place for burying the dead, a final resting place. The grave is a place of decay and a place of darkness and corruption. A place where many created from the dust, go back to the dust. The Bible says, there is no knowledge and no wisdom in the grave. A grave is always a silent place because it is a place of death.
There is a mystery about the grave that is not clear to the modern man. The grave has spiritual gates. It has some powers in it. This is why evil men are sometimes attracted to it. When Satanist wants to terminate a life, they go to the grave. They begin to call the living into the gates of the dead and under the cover of that darkness; they do a lot of terrible things.
Satanists consult the grave yard, to appease the gods, sometimes to acquire from the spirits certain information, sometimes to release afflictions to other people, sometimes to release evil winds to blow on people and blow strange sicknesses upon them, sometimes it is to destroy people's business, people's career, people's health and marriages.
Wicked men confer with the graveyard spirits to help in their wicked decisions. They go there to conjure death against people. We have seen cases where somebody died and members of the family began to see the ghost all over the place.
If you get to some graveyards, you will find out that some graves have been changed. It is because something has gone wrong. They go there to secure power and fight their own battles, and it can be a
very serious issue when you are under warfare by graveyard spirits without being aware. A lot of horrible things take place in the graveyard that is not yet clear to modern men.
Ghosts are spirits of the dead unbelievers. Because their souls are kept in a special place until judgment, this is why it's possible for somebody who is a Satanist to call him or her out. But it doesn't happen with Christians. These spirits can go back to where they lived and carry out a lot of devastation.
Unfortunately, in our nation now, men and women are going deeper and deeper into the occult in order to cause trouble for others. But then the absolute power belongs to the Lord Jesus Christ. A lot of demonic spirits have mingled with men and they have caused trouble. A man picked up a woman in Lagos and took her to a room to commit immorality with her. While going, the man asked the woman if she was married but she said no. All of a sudden as they were about to start the act, he heard a hard bang on the door.
The man asked the woman if she is aware of who was banging on the door and she said it was her husband. The man was surprised because he had asked this same woman if she was married and she told him no. Then how come her husband was banging on the door. The man concluded that he will be in great trouble if the person banging the door gained entrance into the room. So he jumped out through the window.
The man who jumped out of the window in a popular area in Lagos landed in a cemetery. He then started to find his way through the light provided by the moon. When he got to the gate the guards at the cemetery thought he was a ghost. They to began to rain incantations against him. They were ordering him to go back thinking he was a spirit of one of the dead buried there. But he told them that he was a human being and not a spirit.
Eventually they got to him and told him that he was in trouble and he should look for a way of praying for himself. Right from that day a serious problem started for him and he became completely restless and always seeing imaginary things. That was what brought him to Mountain of Fire, and the Lord delivered him. I decree that if the powers of the grave are after your life, you shall be delivered in the name of Jesus.
When graveyard spirits are pursuing you, the agenda may not be to kill you but once they are pursuing you, there are certain things you discover. These will show that you are being pursued:
When you begin to dream of the dead.
You dream of being pursued by serpents.
You begin to see coffins.
You find yourself being shot.
Getting married to a dead person.
Working in a graveyard.
Falling into a pit and you cannot get out then know for sure that graveyard spirits are after you and
you must take aggressive actions against them.
Once you allow them to operate unhindered, they will destroy you as they are not there to play with you. Once these powers are in, you will experience the following manifestations:
There will be serious health problems.
The person will be getting confused.
There may be sickness or diseases that may be resistant to prayers.
It is not when somebody falls down and is not living again that he is dead. A person can be a living dead. The powers of the grave can kill a business, marriage or anything in a person's life. Once they are fighting against you and you do not stop them, they will stop you.
If you begin to notice unpardonable errors.
You begin to smell death.
If you look at your family and begin to find a chain of untimely death.
When you begin to contemplate suicide.
When you begin to find good things that you want to do die in your hands.
When you begin to find that hatred is now surrounding you.
When you begin to find that every small thing you do, you get tired very quickly and you don't know why.
. When you find out the enemy is chaining what is around you.
Today you must take a decision so that the powers that operate in the valley of the shadow of death will not get the better of you. Today, you need to pray creative and preventive prayers.
HOW DO YOU DEAL WITH THIS KIND OF POWER?
Surrender your life to the Lord Jesus Christ.
Make God your friend. He is the only one who can deliver. The Bible says "But thanks be to God who giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ". The Bible says "O death, where is thy sting, O grave, where is thy victory?" There used to be a victory assigned to the grave but when you make Jesus Christ your friend, that victory of death and the grave is destabilized and removed. You need to completely surrender your life to the Lord Jesus Christ.
Repent from every known sin.
Again, sin in your life gives the enemy a foothold to attack you. There is no small sin. Sin is sin. For the enemy to come against you and to succeed, there must be a ladder. That ladder usually is the sin we get involved in.
Wage war against the spirit.
The Bible says "Right from the days of John the Baptist, the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence and the violent taketh it by force". You must now go with the camp of the enemy and take your victory by force. Once you do these, you shall experience the breakthrough power of God.
Barricade your life so they don't have access to you anymore.
You barricade your life with the blood of Jesus. Even if they had access in the past and they have been calling your name from the gates of the grave, when you wage war against them today and barricade your life against them, they will not be able to get close to you again.
When that power is drawing a person, they have no respect for your academic qualifications or knowledge. They can finish the person.
A professor once came to me in my office and asked me how many wives and concubines Solomon had. I told him one thousand in total. He then told me that he wanted to marry one more wife and that I should pray and bless the marriage. I told him that was impossible. He got angry with me, stood up and left slamming the door behind him.
After sometime he found the lady he wanted to marry as a second wife simply because according to him, his first wife was no longer fashionable. About a week to the marriage ceremony, this young lady died.
The next Saturday was supposed to be the marriage ceremony but it was the burial ceremony of this lady. As they were about to bury this lady, the priest asked him if he knew this woman and he said yes. The priest now conducted a wedding ceremony between this professor and the dead lady.
At that point this professor should have fled but he didn't. Right from that day, he started seeing the ghost of this lady. People thought this professor was mad so they took him to the psychiatric hospital and gave him drugs for psychiatric patients but this made the situation worse.
It was at this point that they brought him back to my office. He narrated the whole ordeal to me and I instructed him to go on a three days fast, which he did. After the three days fast and prayer, he was delivered. I pray that today, anyone who is being harassed by the spirit of death shall be set free in the name of Jesus.
CHAPTER THREE
DESTROYING THE ARROW OF WANDERING
In the previous chapter we discovered the satanic strategy for introducing problems into the lives of people all over the world. In this chapter we shall discover another twin problem. Just as the wilderness is a land of wastage wandering has been carved out as a weapon for making people experience failure through aimlessness.
The vagabond anointing is one of satan's toughest methods of destiny derailment. When the arrow of the vagabond enters any life the result will be aimless wandering.
The mystery of wandering dates back to the Old Testament. The children of Israel were in the wilderness going back and forth for forty years. A journey that could have taken forty days lasted forty years.
"Moreover, brethren, I would not that ye should be ignorant, how that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea; And were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea; And did all eat the same spiritual meat; And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ. But with many of them God was not well pleased: for they were overthrown in the wilderness. Now these things were our examples, to the intent we should not lust after evil things, as they also lusted. Neither be ye idolaters, as were some of them: as it is written, The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play. Neither let us commit fornication, as some of them committed, and fell in one day three and twenty thousand. Neither let us tempt Christ, as some of them also tempted, and were destroyed of serpents. Neither murmur ye, as some of them also murmured, and were destroyed of the destroyer." 1 Corinthians 10:1-10
STRANGE HAPPENINGS
Why does it sometimes take 40 years for somebody to undertake a journey that should last for 40 days? One of the most powerful spirits in these last days is the demon of wandering. Wandering leads to wastage. The Bible calls some spirits wandering stars.
"Raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, to whom is reserved the blackness of darkness for ever." Jude 1:13
The spirit of wandering is also a curse. What does it mean to wander? To wander means to move about a fixed course. Wanderers can also be called trunkless elephants. To wander also means to move about without a fixed aim. To wander means to move about without a definite purpose and it can be very dangerous when you do not have a purpose. It can even be more dangerous when you don't know your purpose in life or why God has called you. When purpose is not understood then that purpose would be abused perverted or even destroyed completely.
COSTLY IGNORANCE
A woman gave birth to two sons. Both of them were stinkingly rich. During their mum's 60th birthday they wanted to outdo themselves in giving their mother a birthday present. The first child thought of what special thing he could give to his mom. Then he ran to those who build Rolls Royce which was the best at that time and he bought a brand new Rolls Royce and delivered it at the door of his 60-year-old mother.
The woman was very happy. When his younger brother saw the Rolls Royce he too started wondering what he could give to his mom that she would appreciate. He thought about it for several nights which cost him sleepless nights because he wanted to outdo his brother.
One day as he was passing by a shop he saw a parrot and they told him that the parrot was one hundred and seventy thousand dollars. Then he was curious to know why a parrot should be that expensive. Then they told him that parrot is expensive because it can speak 17 languages. At that point he made up his mind to buy the parrot as a birthday present for his mom. He packaged the parrot and sent it to his mum.
On the birthday of the mom he called his mom and asked her about the parrot which he bought for her and to his shocking surprise she said she had eaten it. When the purpose of a thing is not known you would abuse it or even spoil. When someone does not know the purpose of his life such a person would spoil. The worst thing a person can waste is his life because there is no duplicate neither is there a replacement of it.
To wander also means to move away from the main thing or idea. To wander means to move from place to place without staying long enough to attain results. To wander also means to engage in crocked or irregular movement like the crab. This is a common trend. A lot of people have been engulfed by this spirit.
A lot of young people display a lot of aimlessness as they do not know what to do. When I was teaching in the University I discovered that there are some students who simply did not want to pass out of the University. They purposely decide to fail so that they would stay permanently there and be repeating some courses.
MERE ILLUSIONS
If you notice that a forty-day journey for your life is becoming forty years or your spiritual life that is supposed to be on fire is becoming hard work then you need to examine yourself. Perhaps, you are on what we call the Israelites' journey, which is a journey of waste. Although there may be many fantastic experiences on the way, as they may give you an illusion that you are the elect of God heading for Zion, you are wasting your destiny.
Look at the children of Israel, God was leading them for sure but they were largely a people under the wasteful wandering. God had already sentenced them to wilderness death because they had doubted God several times, committed a lot of offenses and repeatedly disobeyed the Almighty. But He kept on leading them. Although they still followed the cloud and part took of all the different signs and wonders that were happening, it did not mean that all was well in the sight of God. They followed the cloud but they were already under a death sentence. They were going to wander and waste away in that wilderness. Many people today are like that; they do not know that they are just wandering.
At this point I want you to close your eyes and take these prayer points.
I bind every spirit of aimlessness in the name of Jesus.
I withdraw my steps from useless journeys in the name of Jesus.
There is one area where many people run into unexpected trouble with God. They think that because they are experiencing miracles and things are moving well then God is well pleased with them. They see miracles and they become less cautious and less careful with God. They excuse their mistakes and errors and presume that God does not see them. That song writer says
"I spent many years for you. How many years have you spent for me?"
Some might say that they are very busy for the Lord and because they are very busy God is pleased with them. They are unaware that God is just keeping them busy until they expire. Jesus told us that God makes the rain to fall on both the wicked and the good. This means that no man should be deceived or blinded by his state of blessing because God's requirement and standards remain the same. Even if others are doing it you can decide not to join the multitude to do evil.
Jesus even warned a lot of all pastors and miracle workers that many will be disappointed on the last day. If you read the book of Revelation you will see the churches. All of them were working hard but he said "nevertheless, I have something against you". He warned the Church in Ephesians very well telling them that they had left their first love but they did not listen to him.
Today there is no Christian witness in Ephesus again. In fact, there is a large Mosque there now. Manna might be falling and signs and wonders continue to take place but the terrible thing is that the people might not know that they are wasting away.
THE FRUITLESS JOURNEY
Samson was in an unfortunate journey till his death yet as he was going to die he was experiencing miracles until the Holy Spirit left and very terrible things began to happen. The Israelites were wandering for 40 years and the more they travelled the more they got manna not knowing that they were just going around in circles. They went on like that until the last person in that unfortunate number died in the wilderness.
For 40 years they wandered just to cover a 40-day trip, moving under the cloud and under the fire but only to waste away in the wilderness. These favourable circumstances that a lot of people are enjoying, should not be used to gauge your stand with God. If you do so you will discover that you are involved with the wandering ministry which leads to ultimate waste.
Do not lust after evil things as they lusted. In many places of worship today there is a lot immorality. People bring other people's husbands to the church in a bid to get them to become born again and they would capture them. You would also find psychedelic brothers who are not serious who will talk to three or four sisters at the same time and the blind sisters will go on rejoicing. This is happening in the Church.
Pastors have been caught in fornication and when they are sacked the pastors set up new churches
and the fornication continues in the new church. Some people are not even bothered about the spiritual life of the man praying for them as long as things are happening. Even if you catch a so-called pastor doing strange things with other people's wives you still go ahead and conclude that God is still using him. This is a symptom of the wandering spirit.
Are you the kind of person who is not willing to learn from people who are successful? Then you have a wandering spirit.
Are you the kind of person who gives excuses for your mistakes instead of accepting your being wrong?
PASSING THE BUCK
I remember the story of a man who used to complain bitterly. Any problem he had he would say it that caused by Adam. This man went on blaming Adam everything until God promoted him one day and he became a king. When they were going to make him a king they warned him that there were two hundred and one rooms in the palace and that no one enters room 201. He said no problem. This man was promoted from someone who was selling fire wood to become a king and he was enjoying himself. Things were happening for him and he got fat. He no longer had to beg anyone for anything.
One day when the success got into his head like king Uzaiah in the Bible, he decided to go and see what was in room 201. They begged him not to go that if he went he would be dethroned. He refused all pleas and when he went in he saw his former rags and the former fire wood which he was selling and that was how he went back to become a fire wood seller. Then he stopped blaming Adam for his woes.
Are you the kind of person who would compromise his faith and stand once it has to do with money? Are you the kind of Christian who bangs phones on people? Then something is wrong somewhere.
Success and failure result from made moment by moment, hour by day. Success is a deliberate thing: just as failure, then is deliberate. A person could plan to fail and a person could plan to succeed.
HOW TO DEFEAT WANDERING SPIRITS?
Know your purpose.
Certainly, God did not create you to be roaming around; neither did he put you here to be disgracing the Almighty. He has a purpose for your life; and this is why the first message to preach to Spinsters and Bachelors is for them to, first of all, find out their purpose before getting a partner.
John Wesley's wife showed him pepper. Even Moses wife showed him pepper. A lot of people in today's society who are not even as strong as these men are rushing into marriages.
Once you know the purpose for which you are alive you will not be tossed here and there.
Fulfill that purpose.
It is one thing for you to know your purpose; as it is; another thing; for you to decide to fulfill it.
Become a master at what you can do.
Settle down and do what you can do very well. If Christians perform excellently well in their trade they will attract business to themselves and outshine the unbelievers.
In the olden days of Christianity there used to be a group of people called the Quakers. These people were very strict and disciplined Christians. People didn't like what they preached because they considered their message to be too hard, but anytime the market day came, the Quakers, too, were very good at their trade. It is at the front of the Quakers that you would see the longest queue, because they knew that they cannot lie and would not deceive anybody. There was a marriage between what they professed and what they were doing.
Never stop learning and growing.
The day you wake up and say you know it all, then you are already dead.
Draw daily power from the Holy Spirit.
One fantastic way of doing this is for somebody to pray in the spirit for, maybe half an hour everyday. If you can pray half an hour every day in tongues, by the time you do it for one month you will become a changed person.
Make wise use of your time.
Don't spend your time in useless discussions or unprofitable sayings. There is a popular saying which says "The greatest fools waste time".
Be a good listener.
If you talk less and listen more, then you would be surprised at the benefits you would gain.
Work hard.
If as a Christian, people know that you are different because you work hard and you do your work well, you will be exceptional. If you are a student and you are not ready to work hard you should then forget excellence.
Finally, you need to know the power of prayer and practice it. This is how to separate yourself from the wandering spirit that has taken hold of so many people, and making them float around in the ocean of life.
CHAPTER FOUR
IT IS NOT OVER YET
"Ahab told Jezebel all that Elijah had done, and how he had slain all the prophets with the sword. Then Jezebel sent a messenger to Elijah, saying, "So may the gods do to me, and more also, if I do not make your life as the life of one of them by this time tomorrow. Then he was afraid, and he arose and went for his life, and came to Beersheba, which belongs to Judah, and left his servant there. But he himself went a day's journey into the wilderness, and came and sat down under a broom tree; and he asked that he might die, saying, "It is enough; now, O LORD, take away my life; for I am no better than my fathers." And he lay down and slept under a broom tree; and behold, an angel touched him, and said to him, "Arise and eat." And he looked, and behold, there was at his head a cake baked on hot stones and a jar of water. And he ate and drank, and lay down again. And the angel of the LORD came again a second time, and touched him, and said, "Arise and eat, else the journey will be too great for you." And he arose, and ate and drank, and went in the strength of that food forty days and forty nights to Horeb the mount of God." I Kings 19:1-8
For the first time in the history of the gospel one man challenged eight hundred and fifty prophets of Baal and Balim. Elijah stood and challenged eight hundred and fifty people. He told them to call on their gods, and he will call on the name of the Lord and the God, which answereth by fire, let Him be God. That was how the competition started.
Elijah prayed and called on the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. "LORD God of Abraham, Isaac, and of Israel, let it be known this day that thou art God in Israel, and that I am thy servant, and that I have done all these things at thy word." That was all Elijah said and fire fell, and Elijah killed all those prophets.
Jezebel, the wicked queen, sent a threat to Elijah. She swore by the gods that Elijah's end had come, and the prophet went away but where he was the Lord had prepared a table before him in the presence of his enemy. I pray that the Lord shall prepare your table in the presence of your enemy.
GOD IS IN CONTROL
An angel went to Elijah and asked him to arise and eat for the journey was too great for him. Elijah got up and ate. Elijah went in the strength of that food for forty days and forty nights. Although Jezebel threatened Elijah that his days had come to an end, the angel of the Lord told Elijah to arise and eat for the strength of food shall take him to an encounter with God.
The angel of the Lord told Elijah to move on; that Jezebel did not have the final say over his life. The angel of the Lord assured Elijah that there is still a future for him. That is why I am sure that the verdict of your life will never come from your enemy in the name of Jesus. No matter what you are going through now, there is still a future for you. While Jezebel was threatening Elijah with termination, the threat was merely driving Elijah towards an encounter with God.
No wonder the Bible says, if the prince of this world knew, they would not have crucified the prince
of peace. This means that the powers of darkness and Satan do not know everything. Elijah's trouble, started by Jezebel, only drove him to have an encounter in the wilderness. Since prophet Elijah did not die in his wilderness, I decree by the decree of heaven that you will not die in your wilderness.
WHEN THE ENEMY REJOICES
Some situations could arise where the enemy will be rejoicing that it is over. Under what situation does the enemy rejoice that it is over:
When the enemy knows that they are stronger than you.
This is why the Bible says "Be strong in the Lord and in the fullness of His might". If you do not have strong enemy, the Bible will not say be strong. You must receive power from the Lord to push your enemies back to where they belong. The Bible says "As many as received him to them gave He power to become the sons of God". The Bible says "Ye shall receive power after the Holy Ghost has come upon you". Anytime you face an attack in your dream and you are not able to fight back there is a problem. You need to pray for power that the enemy cannot insult or ridicule.
When you have a secret with the enemy.
If you have ever been to them before or you were born into their arms in the past. No matter where you turn they can still use the secret against you, or use it to manipulate your life.
When the enemy has hired Balam to curse.
Balam represents prophets of darkness that are asked to curse the children of God.
When the enemy has gained internal access.
Many of you are fighting the enemy outside without knowing that the enemy is inside. By the time you remove the problem of domestic and household witchcraft out of your life, then, seventy-five percent of your problems is over.
When the enemy's champion is Goliath.
Goliath is the stubborn strongman enemy. When there is a Goliath, your certificate becomes useless. The training you have received becomes useless. When there is a Goliath after you the enemy begins to rejoice, because they believe you cannot fight that Goliath.
When you have been dedicated to them consciously or unconsciously.
A lot of people are suffering from evil dedication. There are some people that have already been dedicated to the evil spirit long time ago
A lady was failing her examination. After failing five times, the mother went to consult the water spirit, who asked for a sacrifice. The mother brought a life goat and gave it as a sacrifice to the water spirit. She was given a promise that her daughter will begin to pass her examination. But she should make sure that every year she must come to make sacrifice to the marine spirit.
Truly the lady was passing her examination. But the mother, after offering the sacrifice for some
years, forgot to offer sacrifices further. But the demons will never forget the promises made to them.
The demons began to trouble the lady who is now a graduate. Her life was upside down. She lost her marriage, she lost her children. Then the mother went to consult again and she was told that because she forgot to offer sacrifice to the demon that was why all the terrible incidents occur. When somebody had been unconsciously or consciously dedicated to the evil spirit, the enemy will be rejoicing because they know you will not get out of it.
Many years ago, I had a programme in Enugu and was driving on the road to Enugu. We passed by a river called "Ikpoba River" and I saw a sight. There was a woman sitting down beside the river. With her was a large bowl of pounded yam and Egusi soup full of Congo meat (snail). I noticed that there was a lot of different chicken floating on that river.
The woman took a bowl and put the pounded yam with the Egusi soup and poured it into the river. I was surprised because I thought she was going to eat it. At that point I stopped and got down from the car. I went to meet the woman and I asked her why she was pouring the food into the river. She did not answer at first; later she said she was feeding her spiritual husband.
At that point I spoke to her that what she needed was Jesus Christ in her life, but she turned back and told me to mind my business. There are some people that have been dedicated to the evil spirit. You need to break such dedication if you want the enemy not to rejoice over you.
When the enemy have materials from your body in their possession.
The enemy possesses some people's hair from their head, the hair from their reproductive organs, the hair from their armpit. Even some have their clothes in the camp of the enemy. You need to get your materials in the possession of the enemy burnt by fire.
When the enemy has mastered all your strategy.
When the enemy knows your prayer pattern. When the enemy knows how long you pray.
When the enemy has caged you with the spirit of discouragement.
When you are so discouraged, when you are downcast and disillusioned, then the enemy will rejoice over you. The enemies know the Bible. They know the Bible says, "Let not your heart be troubled and believe in God". So when you pray with discouragement, the devil will report to God. Discouragement is a destroyer.
There was a man who was so discouraged that he cried himself to sleep. He dreamt he was in a large market and he was going from store to store. Suddenly he sighted a store and the name and owner of the store was Satan. He entered the store and saw various things the devil was selling, like bad luck, heart disease, diabetes etc, and they all had a price tags. He saw an old axe, which was the most expensive item the devil was selling. He asked the devil why the axe was so expensive and what was its usage. The devil told him that the axe was discouragement. Once discouragement set in to the human's mind, all other items followed. If you are already getting discouraged, I beseech you to bind that discouragement
When you are completely disarmed and surrounded by the enemy.
Many years ago, I went to one of our churches to partake in a small crusade. That day I was talking on binding the strongman and a woman, whose husband was dead, was in that meeting and she prayed as if she had never prayed before. She went home with anointing oil.
When she got home, she called her children to join her in prayer; she also called the housemaid who has been living with them for years. She decided to give them the anointing oil before praying. She gave her children, but the housemaid refused to take. The woman was angry and told her to pack her things and leave. The house girl did not hesitate. The woman was surprised. The housemaid said to the woman "I will go but let me tell you I have already initiated your children into witchcraft and I also killed your husband"; that was how she left.
When you are labouring under the destructive curses and covenant
When there is an enemy inside your camp
When the enemy has manipulated you into offending God
When the enemy has introduced satanic delay into your destiny
Not all delays are from the Almighty. There is divine delay. There is also personal delay. There is programmed delay. There is inherited delay. There is witchcraft delay, and there is strongman delay.
Destiny is a function of time, and destinies are devil's targets. Satan troubles people mostly because of their destinies. When Satan discovers that he cannot derail your destiny, he introduces strategies to delay your destiny. The five foolish virgins in the Bible delayed the purchase of oil and they lost out. Delay is very destructive when it is from the enemies.
God knew that there were strange forces of delay that was attacking Lot in the Bible. God told Lot to escape from the city. God told Lot to run for his life. Lot was still tarrying when God had to send His angelic forces to bring him out of the city.
When the enemy has introduced delay into your destiny, there will be postponement of blessing; unnecessary hatred, your destiny helpers will find it difficult to reach you; your business and career will go down. You will keep on having repeated problems which can render you financially impotent; appointments for good things will be diverted. There will be plenty of profitless hard work.
When the enemy has introduced delay into your destiny, you find yourself in the dream climbing to nowhere. When you find yourself in a cobweb, it is the delay of the enemy.
WHAT DO YOU DO TO CANCEL THE VERDICT OF THE ENEMY OVER YOUR LIFE?
You must surrender your life to Christ
You must not give a place to Satan in your life.
Don't give the devil a chance. To give the devil a chance, he is ready to take a mile.
Be careful of what you listen to and what you say.
Believe that the best is yet to come.
Wage war against the enemy of your destiny. Challenge the enemy and declare that you still have hope; it is not over yet in your life. Wage war against him and let him know that it is over for him.
