Words of the Ministry:

We have spent some days on the theme dominion over witchcraft, today we intend to look at the way of victory, how to overcome witchcraft powers fashioned against us as believers. Yesterday we considered the way of deliverance from witchcraft oppression and possession.  Today we are looking at how to enjoy the dominion over the power of witchcraft. God from genesis said we should have dominion over all he created ad subdue the earth, to subdue the earth includes we putting the earth under control, by this God wasn’t only referring to animals or plant but fallen angels and demon. 

I would be making a list of some steps to take for consistent victory over witchcraft attack, I would highlight a few today to conclude it tomorrow.  To enjoy consistent victory, believers must keep to the following steps:

  1. Be wise and vigilant: The bible encourages us to be gentle as the dove and wise as the serpent. A good number of Christians live a loose life, many because of greed and uncontrollable appetite are being afflicted, some bring in children as maids to their homes and that’s the beginning of sorrows. Many can’t control their tongue and others are not observant of certain changes in their children, staff and colleagues before it is too late. Our victory is tied to our growth in life, we must learn to control our tongue, Joseph’s trouble was tongue trouble. We must learn from Mary, she kept her dreams until fulfilment. The bible encourages us to be watchful Mat 10.16, 1 Pet 5.8.  The devil attacks only what he knows, you can save yourself from much trouble by keeping your tongue as most troubles are tongue troubles.
  • Exercise your authority: Many believers only like to read scriptures and quote them, they don’t know that it is to be exercised in prayers. Scriptural promises are reasons for prayer, we should not just assume it, we must enforce it Luke 10:19 “Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you” this verse is a call to prayer, because we have been given power to trample on them, we are then meant to trample on them and that is done through prayers. We overcome by the blood of the Lamb and our Testimony, the testimony is what is written concerning us. When we juxtapose Col 1.13 and 3.3, we see another testimony that should lead to intense prayer of authority reminding God of his word and the devil of your victory. A lazy Christian can never have victory.
  • Avoid Hate: Another challenge with spiritual warfare is that we are most times tempted to extend the hatred we have for the powers and demons using the human agents to the persons being used. We tend to forget that they are captives needing help. Yes, they have presented themselves to be used of the devil but we must not hate them. Imagine a case of a 4-year-old being possessed by an unclean spirit of witchcraft, we can’t say such a child is guilty because he doesn’t even know the gravity of his actions. Many would cite the old testament saying we must not suffer them to live Exo 22.18 but we need to understand that in the old testament, the natural man had no power to cast out devils as they were not empowered of the Holy Ghost. Saints, the human agents are not our real enemies but captives needing your love and prayers (Eph 6.12-13), we must love them and relate with them within the limits of the Holy Spirit leading. Just as our natural love, hatred makes us more vulnerable to the devil’s attack. The bible encourages us to bless those that curse us and pray for those that hate us Luke 6.28, Rom 12.14. For those that are bent on doing evil, the lord would deal with them accordingly Pro 25.21-22, Rom 12.20-21

May the Lord grant us light.

I look forward to seeing you at the November edition of Peniel, it would be a night of glory, a supernatural outpouring of the spirit as we feast on the theme: The Integrity of God’s word. Come with family and friends, come, and see Jehovah at work, shalom!
