Avoid Chasing Shadows In Your Prayers (1)
Saturday 15th March
Text: Revelation 2: 24-29
Key verse: But speak thou the things which become sound doctrine. Titus 2: 1
The praise and worship of Jesus as Lord of lords, King of kings, the Captain of our salvation and the Bishop of our souls, should fill our prayers, exhortation and sermons. Alas, it is not so in many churches today. Instead of Christ-consciousness, there is Satan-consciousness in many Christians and ministers. Believers are made to fear and respect Satan above God. It is as though the victory of Jesus over Satan was not complete; or that the believer has to carry out some ceremonial rites in addition to the victory of Jesus, in order to be free from Satan's power.
Believers are told that a curse is still upon them: The curse of their parents, family, village, tribe, or ancestors are still upon them. They are told that these curses are responsible for their bad lucks, lack of prosperity, delay in marriage, barrenness, etc. They 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 generational 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. Know this truth and be free! 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.
