STAGNANCY IS NOT YOUR PORTION
Memorise: And all these blessings shall come on thee,
and overtake thee, if thou shalt hearken unto the voice
of the LORD thy God. Deuteronomy 28:2
Read: John 5:2-9, Bible in one year: Ezra 4:1-6:12, John
represented by retrogression and repression. One lesson we
must learn is that sometimes, repressive forces are not
necessarily interested in taking over the harvest of their
victims; rather, all they want to do is ton ensure that all the
labour and efforts of their victims are wasted, so that they
can mock and laugh them to scorn (Judges 6:3-16). Every
repressive force seen and unseen that is interested in
wasting all your honest efforts shall be destroyed by the fire
of the Holy Ghost in Jesus’ Name.
Moreover, another state of progress is stagnation. This is a
state of standstill. In this state, there is no forward or
upward movement. The fellow operating in this state
remains on the same spot in spite of his or her efforts. In a
situation of stagnancy, effort does not count, because it
appears there is some invisible rope tying the victim to the
same spot. In our Bible reading, we read about a man who
was sick for 38 years. This man was operating in a state of
stagnancy. He was at the pool of Bethesda waiting for an
angle to stir up the water. He was waiting for a once-a-year
miracle available to just one person. The unfortunate thing
is that he was not alone. There was a crowd also waiting to
take this same chance. As a result, he kept on waiting for
several years!
There are some people who are so full of hope at the
beginning of a year, but at the end of that year, they realise
that they are still at the same spot. When I was schooling at
the University of Lagos, there was a particular student who
had been there for eight years, but he never went beyond
year one. He kept changing from one faculty to the other
and from one department to another. We met him there and
left him there. Have you been stagnant? Are all your efforts
futile? Have you been so long on the same spot? The Lord
will intervene in your situation today! The Lord will turn
things around for your good. I rebuke every force keeping
you on the same spot. Whatever is tying you down is
destroyed now. That miracle that your stagnant situation is
trying to deny you is released to you now in Jesus’ Name.
PRAYER POINT :
I command every spirit of stagnancy keeping me and
my family on the same spot, in the Name of Jesus
Christ, pack your load and leave now!
