Subdued: Wicked spirits in Nigeria 

I plead the speaking blood of JESUS CHRIST over Nigeria. I come against all the forces of evil that have united to spoil Nigeria. 

As an Oracle of the MOST HIGH GOD, I declare they are frustrated and all their devices are to self-destruct now.

I affirm that the process of change commences with us as parents, religious and political leaders and that it would cut across all the various strata of our society.

I proclaim that the power-base of the evils in our land is destroyed: And those who are in bondage to wicked and mean masters are  delivered.

I declare that Nigeria is vomiting those who have stolen from us and have sold-out the Nation to their satanic associates. They are exposed, disgraced and their connections and liaisons are destroyed as well.

There is no hiding place for evil doers and workers of iniquity in this our world. 

From today, the agreements, bonds and covenants between groups, secret societies, parties and all other related associations that have united to defraud, degrade, and dehumanize Nigeria and Nigerians; whoever they maybe, whatever their rank-position or authority: from today,  they are all to function in confusion, division, exposures, betrayals and renunciations in CHRIST Omnipotent name.

The Church of God in Nigeria is a prevailing force and the gates of hell is crushed and trampled before us.

God save Nigeria.  God bless Nigeria. 

Anything not consistent with God’s perfect will for Nigeria and Nigerians will not succeed. 

The righteousness of the righteous speaks in Nigeria. The tongues of accusations are silenced. 

The fear and dread of God is released upon detractors and agents of  provocation. They are right now incapacitated and shall no longer perform their enterprise. 

We thank God for intervening to avert war and bloodshed. 

We are grateful that kidnappers and their support networks are apprehended and their power base annihilated. 

We proclaim that as Nigerians,  we submit to God, resist the devil, draw nearer to God, cleanse our hands and purify our hearts. 

The reproaches of our sins are rolled away. 

We usher in the reign of righteousness and exaltation, to God’s glory and praise. 

It is written that GOD confirms and performs the counsel of HIS messengers  and servants. It is done. Nigeria will rise and thrive again in the  mighty name of Jesus Christ . “Amein”

Pray  Earnestly

‘The earnest prayer of a righteous person has great power and produces wonderful results” (James 5:16)

Praying to God is the regular business of every Christian. But the prayer that produces wonderful results has to be purposeful, intentional, fervent and persistent.

The Christian is a child of God and thus can boldly approach Him in prayer.

Before Christ came and reconciled us to God, only priests had that privilege. Sin stood between us and God whose holiness could not behold sin.

But when Jesus was crucified on the cross, all the handwriting of ordinances that was against us was nailed to that Cross.

And not only did Christ wash away all our sins with His precious blood, HE blotted out the handwriting of ordinances and gave us His very own righteousness as a gift.

When you got born again, you became the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus

Your righteousness is a gift from JESUS because it is entirely dependent on HIS perfect performance and HIS perfect obedience, not yours.

And since Christ is righteous and you are in Him, you cannot lose your righteousness.

The gifts and calling of God is without repentance.-they are irrevocable. God cannot lie nor can he deny His Words

So dear friend, because you are forever righteous in CHRIST, GOD hears your prayers every time you pray.

Apostle James tells us that the earnest prayer of a righteous man—that’s YOU—“produces wonderful results”. Not just plain results, but wonderful results!

What provisions do you need today- Favor for an interview, wisdom to clear your debts, healing for your children?

As a righteous person in Christ , boldly ask Jesus Christ for what you need in prayer and expect to see wonderful results!

You do not have because you do not pray.

I remember back in my Bible College days how I used to make a list of every single one of my needs. When praying, I would read each item and discuss it with ABBA.

There was this day that I wrote 3 pairs of shoes on my list. When I got to the number where it was written, I heard God say to me :

“Hephzibah, why do you need three pairs of shoes? “

I had to explain that I needed those three pairs in different colors because I was doing a lot of Evangelical work. It was necessary to have the right shoe for the right terrain because I was doing a lot of walking.

I got all the colors I requested plus my favorite color which I did not add. I got all at a bargain and was also able to get some for my aides as well.

From that time onward, I write my prayer requests as a letter to ABBA.

Be fervent in your prayer. Be intentional. Be focused. God bless you.

Have a Blessed Day …. GOD’s grace be with you and your household !!! Shalom!

Ritualistic Dream-state Murders

I got a disturbing mail from a friend recently which brought about this warfare prayer for deliverance.

She explained how she has had a recurring dream of being sacrificed on a dark altar. She explained further that sometimes both she and her husband were placed on the altar and sacrificed. While on other times, she was a helpless onlooker while her husband was being sacrificed.

Dreams are visions of the night.

The Bible says: “HE speaks in dreams, in visions of the night, when deep sleep falls on people as they lie in their beds. (Job 33:15: NLT)”

Dreams can either come from God’s Kingdom of Light or from Satan’s dark kingdom

From wherever it comes, a dream is an activity that the human spirit or soul saw happen in the supernatural world. It is similar to watching the video clip of a drama.

Before things happen in the physical, they are first conceived in the spirit. It is therefore very important that when negatives are viewed in the supernatural, they must be quickly confronted in the physical through spiritual warfare prayers.

But if what was viewed in the spirit realm is not addressed in the physical realm: There is a hundred percent chance that it would occur as seen with some slight variations.

You can understand why I was uneasy that she kept it to herself for so long before sharing her dream.

Although people suffer or perish through ignorance, God in His infinite mercy provisioned that:

“Through knowledge shall the just be delivered” (Proverbs 11:9b).

Be encouraged my friend. Jesus Christ is also Lord over the dream world!

You can read more about this topic on a previous Blog post: COUNTER BAD DREAMS AND NIGHTMARES.

Below is the PRAYER I shared with her to confront that Ritual Murder:

  • ABBA FATHER, we give you all the glory for exposing to us the plans of the forces of evil.
  • In unity of faith we bring to nought the plans and devices of the enemy: we hold fast to Your Word and affirm that no weapon of the enemy that is formed, forged or fashioned against us shall prosper.
  • I stand also as an Oracle of God and declare that the speaking blood of Jesus Christ counters every satanic ritual in which ….or … spouse were offered as a sacrificial offering in the dream state.
  • We affirm that the only acceptable sacrifice is the perfect and permanent sacrifice of Jesus Christ: and which effectively annuls and renders ineffective all other sacrifices.
  • Therefore, that altar, shrine, synagogue or temple of evil should catch fire now; as well as all effigies and tokens of worship.
  • All the hierarchy in the forces of evil, including demons and human agents of the devil; that were involved in executing that curse of death and its related sentence against you and yours; are hereby placed under divine subjection and captivity. Their tongue is confused and divided.
  • All the works they have set in motion should stop now and be absolutely annihilated.
  • I stand with you in faith and affirm that the law of the spirit of life in CHRIST JESUS has made you free from the law of sin and death.
  • All the voices of accusation speaking against you in all realms of existence are silenced now by the speaking blood of Jesus Christ which declares your righteousness in Him.
  • I release to you now, the anointing of God’s Spirit that brings life, healings, deliverance, peace and strength to be at work in your life now.

You shall live and not die.

Be well. Be delivered. Be restored in the matchless saving name Jesus Christ.

PRAYING FOR ARTISANS

An Artisan is a person skilled in an applied art; a craftsperson: a person or company that makes a high-quality or distinctive product in small quantities, usually by hand or using traditional methods (Dictionary.com)

This morning, as I started out on my daily Bible reading, I was led to pray for Artisans. The Word of God came to me saying:

“Look, I have specifically chosen… I have filled him with the Spirit of God, giving him great wisdom, ability, and expertise in all kinds of crafts. 4 He is a master craftsman, expert in working with gold, silver, and bronze. 5 He is skilled in engraving and mounting gemstones and in carving wood. He is a master at every craft! 6 “And I have personally appointed… to be his assistant…I have given special skill to all the gifted craftsmen” (Exodus 31:2-6; NLT)

Let us intercede for Artisans:

  • ABBA FATHER, thank you for being such a loving and caring God who takes interest in all His creation.
  • We thank You for giving gifts to all humans and also that these gifts and callings are irrevocable
  • In accordance with your will, we present to you Artisans: those persons and companies which make high quality and distinctive products.
  • We know that you take delight in the prosperity of your people, so we ask that you grant them more enabling grace with which to function excellently in their vocation.
  • Knowing that “To subvert a man in his cause, the LORD approves not.” (Lamentations 3:36; AKJV), we rebuke the forces of evil that are trying to destabilize, unsettle, overthrow, overturn, damage, destroy, pervert, corrupt, undermine, bring down, topple, depose, oust; disrupt, wreak havoc on, sabotage, ruin, weaken, damage, deprave, contaminate, poison, embitter and frustrate Artisans from functioning excellently in their vocation/profession; to get off their case and let them be.
  • I loose favor and advancement in your labor that your heart might be content
  • I ask that the specific grace for your trade manifest in you right now to generate surplus.
  • I ask that you be filled with the Spirit of God so that you will receive great wisdom, insight, concept, ability, ideas and expertise in all kinds of crafts.
  • I affirm that the fire of attraction and the spirit of acceptance are released upon you now.
  • I pray that you become a master craftsman, expert in working with gold, silver and bronze.
  • That you also become skilled in engraving and mounting gemstones; in carving wood; in manufacturing, decorating and producing textiles and other special products and edibles.
  • I ask that the Excellency of God’s Indwelling Spirit make you a master at every craft!
  • I ask also for the enabling grace with which to pass on your knowledge to others.
  • I pray that God personally appoint your assistants: and give them special skills to become gifted craftsperson so that they too can make all things as well.
  • I pray that your gifts open doors for you and break down barriers of poverty, hardship and mediocrity.
  • I pray also that your gift become a vehicle for personal evangelism through which you will display the glory of God and attract others to God’s Kingdom of Light, in Christ matchless name.
  • Thank You Holy Spirit for leading and directing us in this prayer. We know that you will confirm our Words and perform our counsel to God’s glory and praise, in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. Amein. – Hephzibah Christly
