DOUBLE RATING
Memorise: “And the evil spirit answered and said, Jesus I know, and Paul I know; but who are ye?” (Acts 19:15)
Read: Acts 19:13-16
In 2 Kings 6:13-14, when the Syrian king was to arrest Prophet Elisha, he sent his whole army. Your spiritual level and anointing determines the rating and regards the satanic kingdom accords to you. Satan rates you by the extent you have troubled his kingdom, set the captives free, liberated sinners into God’s Kingdom and obeyed God’s Word.
They do not rate you according to your position, title or ordination received. Some leaders occupy high spiritual positions and are highly regarded by men, but do not worth a fly before the kingdom of darkness. How do the enemies rate you?
If Satan can arrest you with one or a few demons, then you are worth nothing to him. To arrest some believers and so called leaders, all Satan needs do is send a young lady with seductive spirit. And the story is over. For some, one temptation to steal millions of naira is all they need to throw their integrity and ministry of several years to the wind.
If you are so cheap to the satanic kingdom, then you are totally valueless to God’s Kingdom. Everyone that is highly rated by God equally commands a commensurate level of fear in the satanic kingdom. Some believers do not occupy high positions and do not bear big titles, yet they are dreaded by the powers of darkness.
Every believer in Christ has a rank in the Heavenly army. Your rank is what determines your rating in the kingdom of darkness. Another lesson here is that demons recognize the name of Jesus Christ.
In Acts 19:13-16, when a demon was to be cast out by the sons of Sceva, the demon confessed that he knows only one name by which he can be cast out – Jesus Christ. Some years ago, a demon possessed boy was brought for prayers. He could neither walk nor kneel down. When I commanded him to kneel down, the demon asked, ‘In whose name?’
Surprised, I said, ‘In the name of Jesus Christ’. As he complied, he said, ‘That is different’. Thereafter, I commanded him to walk in the name of Jesus and he obeyed, saying, ‘That name is different’. You too can use that name to expel demons, but make sure you are not living in secret sin, or else the demon you want to expel, will expel you. In any case, what is your worth in both kingdoms? You can increase your rating by fearing God and obeying His commands. By winning souls to Christ and living like Jesus lived.
If you can be seduced into fornication by one daughter of Jezebel, that is your true rating. You are not more than a fly to Satan and to God
