VARIOUS WEAPONS AT YOUR DISPOSAL
Memorise: O clap your hands, all ye people; shout unto
God with the voice of triumph. Psalm 47:1-3
Bible in one year: Esther 4-7, John 9:13-34
One of the spiritual weapons at the disposal of God’s
children is shouting. All that the children of Israel did to pull
down the formidable walls of Jericho was to shout. The Bible
in Joshua 6:20 says:
“So the people shouted when the priests blew with the
trumpets: and it came to pass, when the people heard
the sound of the trumpet, and the people shouted with
a great shout, that the wall fell down flat, so that the
people went up into the city, every man straight before
him, and they took the city.”
Do you know that you can utilise the weapon of shouting to
receive your miracle or breakthrough? Some years ago, a
woman was brought to us at the headquarters of our
church. She complained that for years, whenever she ate,
she vomited. The doctors had tried all they could to help her
retain the food she ate, but nothing worked. It was so bad
that even when she drank water, she would vomit it. When
she was brought in, I told everyone to shout Hallelujah! As
she did, she vomited a worm, and that was the end of her
sickness. As you shout Hallelujah this season, you shall
receive your miracle in Jesus’ Name.
Furthermore, another weapon available to believers in
Christ is the Name of Jesus. That Name is so highly exalted
that everything, everyone and every power everywhere
must blow to it (Philippians 2:9-11). It is amazing to know
that when some Christians go through a serious situation
that needs divine intervention, they call on the names of
their father or mother but not on the Name of Jesus, the
only One who can help them. In Acts 16:16-18, a demon
possessed girl who followed Paul and Silas around, was
immediately delivered after they commanded the demon to
leave her in the Name of Jesus. Recently, I was about to
enter my car while going to minister to my children after a
Holy Communion service, when a particular girl ran towards
me screaming. I asked my personal assistant to allow her
come near. The fellow who brought her said while she was
at her station of primary assignment to national youth
service, something happened to her which made her lose
her voice. Her voice was completely cut out. On a piece of
paper, she wrote that the demon said that the only person
who could send him out was Pastor Adeboye. So I prayed a
simple prayer in the Name of Jesus, and before I ended the
prayer, she voiced out “Amen”. As I turned to enter my car,
she was audibly shouting “Daddy, daddy”. My son said to
me “Daddy, she is already speaking.” I just smiled. Use the
Name of Jesus more often. Apply His Name in all that you
do. When you do so, do it in faith and ensure you are not
living in sin.
ACTION POINT :
If you really believe in the power in the Name of Jesus,
use it to confront your mountains.
