Scripture Reading: Luke 11:21-22, Ephesians 6:12.
Memory verse for the week: Ecclesiastes 12:1
“Remember now your Creator in the days of your youth, Before the difficult days come, And the years draw near when you say, “I have no pleasure in them”(NKJV)
The rulers of the darkness of this world referred to in Ephesians 6:12 , is what is referred to as a “Strongman”. A strongman is the principal demon in charge of a family, place, person, or thing. They could be described as high rank demon-soldier in charge of many junior demon-soldiers. They give other junior demon-soldiers instructions to carry out.
My heart bled as I heard a minister of God share this. Five sisters had a common problem – no marriage! The youngest was 35 years old and the oldest 59 years old. How sad! (Don’t deceive yourself teen, deliverance is real.)
They ran for deliverance when they got tired of their situation. God showed the youngest a revelation where she saw the five (5) of them in white wrapper tied about their waists; standing around a king, seated on a throne. This evil king claimed they all were his wives.
That is an evil king called “a Strongman” sitting on his evil throne surrounded by these five sisters whom he is spiritually married to. Only Jesus, who is stronger than any evil king according to our text scripture, Luke 11:21-22, is capable of unseating this strongman; and set his evil palace ablaze. May every strongman sitting on your academic glory, family finances and any department of your life be unsitted by fire, in Jesus’ name.
ACTION WORD: FIGHT A GOOD WARFARE.
PRAYER POINT: I recommend the following deliverance prayers. Pray with power and fire. Make sure you reconcile your ways with God, and plead the blood of Jesus (7 times) before you pray these prayers:
- Fire of deliverance, come into the foundation of my life, in the name of Jesus.
- I paralyze every strongman in any department of my life, in the name of Jesus.
- Ancestral strongman of family limitation, die by fire, in the name of Jesus.
- Curses and covenant strengthening affliction in my life, break by fire, in the name of Jesus.(Use your hands to break them).
- I set on fire the palace of the strongman in charge of my problems, in the name of Jesus.
- I recover my glory, blessings and all that the strongman has stolen from me, in Jesus’name.
