MOVE THAT ENEMY

Memorise: “For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith” (Mark 11:23)

Read: Isaiah 54:16-17

Pastor E. Adeboye

“Now Naaman, captain of the host of the king of Syria, was a great man with his master, and honourable, because by him the LORD had given deliverance unto Syria: he was also a mighty man in valour, but he was a leper” (2 Kings 5:1).

When there is something in a man’s mouth that cannot allow him to speak freely in the midst of reproach, that is serious bondage! In Judges 15:11-13, Samson’s relatives and countrymen bound and delivered him to the enemies. It was those within that sold him out to the enemies without. Some people are where they are today because internal enemies handed them over to the external enemies. For a user of this Devotional, the Lord has good news for you. Every internal enemy that has sold you out to external enemies are in for a surprise this season. The Lord will undo that bondage.
When the Almighty God decides to deliver somebody, He will first burn all the yokes of the enemy. When the Spirit of God came on Samson after being delivered to the enemies, the ropes with which he was bound disappeared as if burnt by fire (Judges 15:14). Isaiah 10:27 says the anointing destroys yokes of any kind.

Every yoke on your shoulders shall be destroyed today in Jesus name. The ropes, chains and fetters with which the enemies have chained your hands, legs or destiny shall be consumed by the Consuming Fire. The next thing God does when about to deliver His own, is to pump power into you (Acts 1:8). Thirdly, He makes the weapons of the enemy ineffective while providing a powerful weapon for the one being delivered according to today’s reading.
Unfortunately, some believers are too gentle with those who want to destroy them. One of my sons lived in an upper flat while a notorious witch lived in the flat beneath him. When he came to complain to me about her, I asked him to move her from that building citing Mark 11:23. He disagreed. We did not see over a period but when we eventually met, he looked like one mosquitoes had feasted on.

He said the woman reported him to the police that she suspects him to be an armed robber because people were always talking inside his apartment every night. He was arrested and thrown into jail before he was discovered innocent.

 After narrating his ordeal, I told him he should be as gentle as a dove so that she will continue to live and have another opportunity to strike at him. But this time, he said ‘No’. He wanted the woman moved. The enemies you do not stop will stop you. Anything in your neighbourhood that is nuisance can be moved. But as long as you can tolerate them, they will continue to torment you. Arise and pray. Continue to attack that mountain in prayer. Continue to bombard Heaven on it. Soon you will discover it has moved.

What are the unpleasant things in your life, family neighbourhood and church that ought to be moved? Command them to move in the name of Jesus. Continue this prayer until they move.
