TOPIC: POSSESS CHRIST'S VICTORY THROUGH FAITH AND PRAYER
TEXT: REVELATION 12: 7-11
FRIDAY DECEMBER 29TH
Key verse: Revelation 12: 11 “And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.”
Some believers are told that for them to be free, they have to go and make investigation and interview their parents or village elders to know whether there are generation curses over their lives. They are told that some houses have to be pulled down, some trees have to be rooted up, some buried things have to be dug out, some property have to be burned, some confessions and prayers have to be made over buildings, lands, river sides and mountains to dislodge the devil from his hold, only then the curse can be broken and the believer made free. Some give several revelations and testimonies to back up this strange gospel. Faith in Christ and His righteousness terminates all kinds of curse in the believer's life.
Our attention is not on the signs, wonders, spiritual gifts, or miracles that accompany a doctrine; for Satan can back up his doctrine with these too. Our attention is rather on the scriptural authority of the doctrine. We exalt the salvation of the souls of men from sin and their eternal life above healing, deliverance and prosperity in this present life. These belong to us too, but we must be sure they come from God and not from the enemy of our soul.
Christ's victory is appropriated and effected in the life of the believer through faith and prayer. The believer is to look to Jesus and set His victory before him, believe always that he has been made free in Christ, confess his liberty, walk by faith of it, keep himself in obedience to the word of God and walk in righteousness and holiness. Jesus is to be upheld by the church. His victory over Satan should constantly be celebrated by the church. His praise and worship as Lord of lords, King of kings, the Captain of our salvation, the Bishop of our souls should fill our prayer, exhortation and sermons.
Thought for the day: Christ's victory is appropriated and effected in the life of the believer through faith and prayer.
Song for the day: In Jesus name, every knee shall bow…
Bible reading for the day: Zechariah 10-12; Revelation 20
