What this prayer will offer
To engage in a warfare prayer is as necessary as a soldier going to war. To excel in life, we must confront and conquer the devil with his agents, firing arrows day and night and destroying people’s destinies. We also need a more potent and aggressive prayers against the kingdom of darkness that is never happy when you are making progress.
Many manipulations and unexplainable circumstances are on the increase largely because we Christians are so complacent and yet to rise to the challenges. So many unknown and unbroken covenants are plaguing the lives of people, causing misery and hardship.
There was a man I knew in my former church – a banker by profession who was doing quite well financially. One day during their family devotion, he went to pour fuel (petrol) into the generator. Through satanic manipulation, oblivious that he had picked a hurricane lantern while pouring the fuel, it exploded, and he got instantly got roasted. It was discovered quite later that his mother experienced the calamity in the same month and date in similar circumstance. The unknown covenant that the family refused to deal with eventually dealt with them. But the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob has said in the book of Isaiah 28:18 that: “And your covenant with death shall be disannulled, and your agreement with hell shall not stand; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, then ye shall be trodden down.”
This means that whatever covenant that has existed and still operating and affecting our family shall no longer have dominion over us.
Many people have good opportunities but are suffering from slippery breakthrough because of certain negative covenants
The Lord has commanded the following seven declarations:
Song:
The Counsel of the Lord shall not be overthrown
The Counsel of the Lord shall stand
The Counsel of the Lord shall not be overthrown
The Counsel of the Lord (must) stand
In Isaiah 46:10, the Bible says that “Declaring the end from the beginning and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying: ‘My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure’” This means that whatever the Lord has said from the beginning concerning your life is what shall stand; not the devises of the enemy.
Nehemiah 6:15 says that the wall of Jerusalem that had been broken down for the over seventy years and could not be built was rebuilt in fifty-two days, in spite stiff opposition from detractors. Nehemiah was an intercessor and God supplied the resources. Today, the Lord shall make available the anointing for project resources, completion, and execution.

EXHORTATION
The overriding agenda of the enemy (the devil) is encapsulated in John 10:10a “The thief cometh not, but to steal, and to kill, and to destroy”. The devil is not careful in the least concerning the execution of this deadly agenda, because it will promote his ministry of standing as the enemy of God and humanity.
Anything good is an attraction to the Devil. As you are planning to rise up in life and to make a success of your destiny, so also the enemies are planning to counter your efforts. The Bible says in Jeremiah 29:11 “For I know the thoughts that I think towards you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not evil, to give you an expected end”.
This shows us that the packages God has for us are wonderful to the glorification and edification of His Holy name, but the devil does not want that to happen, so he draws up evil agenda and satanically inspires his agents to carry them out. Please I need you to understand that God is a good father and He delights in the success of His children. Hear what the Bible says in 3 John 3 “Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth. But “And from the days of John the Baptist until now,the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force”. Matthew 11: 12
Apostle Paul’s charge to Timothy is an awakening word to everyone designed by God to achieve success and greatness in life.
1 Tim. 1:16 – “This charge I commit unto thee son, Timothy according to the prophecies which went before on thee, that thou may war a good warfare.”
According to this scripture, good things had gone forth concerning Bro. Timothy. But he was alerted against the possibility of evil agenda that may hinder the fulfillment. That is why many are wondering that all the good things seen and revealed to them are not manifesting.
“But the man of God said I will build house in three months”
“But it was revealed that I will travel to overseas countries”
“But why are all these not coming to pass in my life even at this my age?” and many more.
Beloved, the man or woman of God saw these revelations quite alright. It is the enemy’s agenda that you need to check. For every revealed or desired progress there is attendant resistance from hell. You must contend face-on with the enemies of your progress, so you do not become one of their success stories of failed destinies.
NOTE THESE
To achieve anything good in life – you must pray.
When you achieve it (them) – you must pray.
To maintain what you have – You must pray.
For what you achieved to endure – You must pray.
For it not to be hijacked, crippled, damage, exchanged, destroyed, wounded, amputated – you must pray.
For you not to be denied of its enjoyment – you must pray.
For you not to labour and another man harvest it – you must pray.
For you not to be frustrated roundabout – You must pray.
ENEMIES AGENDA
My beloved, make up your mind right now to contend with the enemies attacking your progress, so they can take their evil hands off what belongs to you and your family members. You were created for success and you must not allow them to short-change you. I believe you have dwelt long enough on the mountain of restricted or limited progress where the enemies have kept you.
Arise, receive speed by the power of God and move forward. You will get there!

This message is in two parts:
Song:
I cannot call on your name and end up in shame.
No way; no way!
I cannot cry before God and cry before men.
No way; no way!
I cannot kneel before God and bow before men.
No way; no way!
Quite a number of persons – young and old – male and female are in a big mess and great dilemma; so serious a situation that they are crying, lamenting, wailing and weeping, and desperately in need of God’s supernatural interventions.
When we cry unto the Lord; we want him to answer us. In Psalm 65:2, the Bible says that: “O thou that hearest prayer, unto thee shall all flesh come.” The truth is that apart from the Almighty God, nobody else can answer a prayer – no pastor, no general overseer, no prophet or any other man of God for that matter can – no matter how highly anointed he or she might be; it’s only God that can answer prayer. Psalm 27:7 says: “Hear O Lord, when I cry with my voice: have mercy also upon me, and answer me.” Again, when we call on God; it is entirely his prerogative to answer; we cannot force him. If perhaps, it happens that we get an answer through God’s “permissive will”, then we are surely going to pay dearly for it, as was the case of Hezekiah (Isaiah 38:1-5). For instance, during the extra period of fifteen years that God added unto Hezekiah, we learnt that all his sons became eunuchs for life. It is also real that we cannot arm-twist God. Therefore, it is dangerous not to cry unto the Lord.
There are certain people in seven categories that the Lord wants to touch their cases:
In Proverbs 16:1, the Bible says, “The preparation of the heart in man, and the answer of the tongue, is from the Lord”. God will take you out of that horrible place to the top in Jesus name. A man is made up of spirit, soul, and body. When the body breaks down, the body and soul will collapse. When the spirit is gone; the body and soul is very useless. But when we investigate the realm of the soul, there are some ‘soulish’ seats therein. The realm of your soul is the seat of power, emotion, and intellect. God has given us the brain to think and conceive new ideas. But because of our new birth in Christ Jesus, our spirit man now taps into the spirit real for revelations. By implication, it means that whatever plans we make; it is God that has the final say.
It is true that God wants to answer our prayers, but there are some things that we must understand – those things that do hinder prayer.
The Bible says in Isaiah 59:1 & 2 that: “Behold, the Lord’s hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; neither his ears heavy that it cannot hear: but my iniquities have separated between me and my God and my sins have hid his face from me, that he will not hear”.
What are those things that can hinder prayer? They are:
In fact, it is not everyone that comes crying to you for help that you would be able to help. But if conveniently or sacrificially you can help and you refuse; the same way you would be treated.
Admittedly some cases of forgiveness may be a little bit difficult, but we should try to forgive all the same to avoid our prayer from being answered.
I pray that all those stumbling blocks on our way that may want to hinder our success shall be removed in Jesus name.

God moves through some channels through the Holy Ghost in creation. One of such mediums is fire, another of such medium is the wind or the breath of the Lord.
Dear beloved, it may interest you to know that wind sometimes quench some fires, while at some other time the wind aids some fires to combust.
I am excited to tell you that the fire already burning in your life is qualified for the wind. In Acts of Apostles 2, the Bible recorded that the fire came as a mighty rushing wind and lighted upon 120 men, from where the fire spread to the four corners of the world.
When a fire is ignited well enough, the wind comes to the scene, the wind of the Holy ghost, for two reasons:
Ladies and gentlemen, the wind is here, when the wind begins to flow, you are no longer in control.
The spirit of God is great and mighty. Anytime it moves, there is usually a reinforcement, relocation, and rejuvenation. The wind of change for the better will only come when the Holy Spirit is given the right place in your life.
It is the wind of God, that will turn every form of barrenness into fruitfulness, nonentity into a celebrity and every failure into outstanding success. More than that, the wind of change from the Holy Spirit is what you need if you want your sorrows and sadness to be turned into glorious songs.
The wind of change knows no impossibilities or limitations. It is what you need if you truly want to move from being a mediocre to being a pacesetter. A touch of the wind will set you on the way to becoming what God had originally planned for your life.
In fact, it is what will bring out the best of God in you. The sleeping giant in you will be quickened by the wind. Aside from that, the wind of God is what will make stumbling blocks to become the steppingstones to greater achievements in life. My prayer for you today, is that your life will receive a touch of the wind of change in Jesus name.
CHARACTERISTICS OF THE WIND OF THE HOLY SPIRIT
The characteristics of the wind is comparable to that of the Holy Spirit. The wind is the symbol of the Holy Spirit, the wind is mysterious i.e. one can hardly understand the time the wind will blow and when it will stop. The wind of the Holy Spirit when if blows on you, turns you into a mystery to the enemy, the enemy will not be able to pin-point your movement and or your plans. Our Lord Jesus says in John 3 v 8 “the wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth so is every one that is born of the Spirit”
Note that the wind, when it blows upon you, will make you secure from the powers of the devil. No power will be able to cover your glory, due to inflow of the Spirit of God into your life.
There are Four kinds of Wind, namely: –
Rain is the precursor to harvest. Anytime you see rain, harvest cometh. The rain is the unlimited expression of God’s universal concern for the universe. God is interested in people.
The next move is the oil of the Holy Ghost, remember (Mathew 25 v 3 – 5) the story of the ten virgins. The five wise virgin had oil in their lamps and took extra, while the five foolish ones had no oil to sustain their fire. The oil of the Holy Ghost in our life is to ensure that our light/fire does not go dim, also in ministry, is to ensure that grace does not go sour, and oil of the Holy Ghost in every ministry is to lubricate the divine dynamism of the fire of the Holy Ghost. The wind of the Holy Ghost, rain of the Holy Ghost and the oil of the Holy Ghost. The oil is to keep the engine running, I pray that the engine of your spiritual life will not lack sustaining oil in Jesus name.
The Bible says in Eccl. 9 v 8, let not your head lack oil, if your head lack oil, your light will dim.
I pray that your spiritual head will not lack oil in Jesus name.

“Though the heathen rage and the people imagine a vain thing; even the kings of the earth may set themselves and the rulers take counsel together against me; yet the expectation of the wicked shall NOT come to pass in my life; instead, the Lord shall have them in derision” (Psalm 2:1-3).
EXHORTATION
THOSE WHO HAVE BEEN BROUGHT LOW
Many people have been brought low because of the activities of wicked expectations and imaginations from their family background. But the Lord is saying that no matter the condition and the challenge buffeting your life, he has the solution. God is the solution provider – and he will proffer solution to your life’s problems, including that of your family in Jesus name.
In Psalm 116:6, the Bible says that: “The Lord preserves the simple: I was brought low, and he helped me”. No matter what your background is saying to you; do not let your background put your back on the ground. You are a supernatural being, and the supernatural controls the natural. As a matter of fact, knowing Jesus means your foundation must not control you, because the supernatural will change things. Naturally, you are from a family by birth; but by reason of your new birth in Christ Jesus, you are a new creature; a mobile power house – a miracle carrier: someone who is going somewhere to manifest; someone who is not ordinary; someone who cannot be molested; someone who cannot be harassed by the devil.
Again, note that your introduction is not your conclusion. Never! It is the supernatural that ought to define you; control you; direct you and push you to move forward; to make you navigate through the journey of life to achieve the impossible. Supernaturally, God will help you in Jesus name.
In 1 Samuel 2:8, the Bible says that: “He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, and lifteth up the beggar from the dunghill, to set them among the princes, and to make them inherit the throne of glory; for the pillars of the earth are the Lord’s, and he that hath set the world upon them”.
If there is anyone whom the wicked has spread the dust of poverty upon, let God by his mercy remove it in Jesus name. In the realm of the spirit, your life may be scavenging from the dunghill – your life seemingly depending on other people to survive; yet, the Lord has said he will lift you up.
The book of Galatians 4:9 says something that is noteworthy: “But now, after that ye have known God, or rather are known of God, how turn ye again to the weak and beggarly elements, whereunto ye desire again to be in bondage”. A beggarly attitude is not supposed to be a lot of the children of God; it is for unbelievers.
I pray; anyone with beggarly attitude, the Lord will deliver and help you in Jesus name. Anyone on the dunghill of life; let God take you away from there in Jesus name. You are getting into the throne of grace, the throne of glory and the platform of glory in Jesus name. Every arrangement necessary for your life and that of your family to access the throne of glory will manifest in Jesus name.
Some families’ background is so cruel – causing pain and messing up everyone in the family. You are coming out! I pray, by the finished work of Christ on the Cross of Calvary; be released and escape in Jesus name. Psalm 124:7, says “Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken and we are escaped”. In the name of Jesus, let the snare break for you to escape in Jesus name.
There are some people who are under stronghold of foundational bondage that is adversely affecting their lives:
I pray, let the power of resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ break that hold in Jesus name.
In Psalm 145:14, the Bible says: “The Lord upholdeth all that fall, and raiseth up all those that be bowed down”. The Lord has assured us that he will uphold and raise up all those that the enemy has bowed down. His word is corroborated in Matthew 21:42 that: “… The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner; this is the Lord’s doing, and it is marvelous in our eyes”.
If you have ever fallen in the realm of the spirit, physically, financially, maritally, mentally, and intellectually; let the Lord raise you up in the name of JESUS.
If you have been rejected and looked down upon; you shall become the cornerstone in Jesus name.
Let us consider the following declarations:
Twenty-One Declarations
The Bible says in Jeremiah 17:14 that: “Heal me O Lord, and I shall be healed; save me, and I shall be saved: for thou art my praise”.
In Romans 8:11 the Bible also says: “But if the spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you”.
Typical Cases:
As it is said in Psalm 18:44-45 that: “As soon as they hear of me, they shall obey me; the strangers shall submit themselves unto me. The strangers shall fade away, and be afraid of their close places”, any strange material in your body shall jump out in the name of Jesus. Jehovah Rapha, the Lord that heals; let all roots and tentacles of sickness disappear in the name of Jesus.
Song:
Jump out O jump out … … 2ce
Any sickness in my body; Jump out … 2ce
Song:
Super blood of Jesus; come and deliver me!
The blood that flows in Calvary; come and deliver me!
God told me to pray against evil expectation in the lives of people. When you decide to embark on a journey of success, there are some wicked entities that would also have their evil expectations or negative imagination for that same journey. I pray; every evil and negative expectation of the wicked for our journey unto success shall not come to pass in Jesus name.
Let us take, for instance that you have a factory, and you are producing goods and making progress. Because the enemy does not want you to succeed (John 10:10); he would do everything possible, through evil expectation to truncate the sales of the product. He can spread evil particles on the goods in the spirit realm to make people reject or condemn it. Every plan of the enemy to spoil or soil your goods; let God hinder in the name of Jesus.
There was a case of a woman who brought some goods into the market. The goods were very good and of high quality, but strangely, every customer who purchased from it had to return it. She was frustrated and brought to me for prayers and the Lord revealed to me that evil powers have excreted on the goods in the spirit realm. I pray; every pollution in your life; let the blood of Jesus wipe it off.
The book of Proverbs 11:23 says: “The desire of the righteous is only good: but the expectation of the wicked is wrath”. When things do not work well or according to plan; the enemy – our adversary becomes happy. The enemy rejoices at one’s calamity or failure. Furthermore, Proverbs 10:28 says: “The hope of the righteous shall be gladness: but the expectation of the wicked shall perish”.
That Jesus was born in a manger was not enough! King Herod still wanted to destroy him. So, he devised means by which he thought to achieve his evil aim; hence he said he would like to go and worship him (Jesus). But was that a genuine intention? Of course not! That was why he became very angry when he discovered that the Wise men who broke the good news to him didn’t come back and he decided to waste the lives of all infants born of the Hebrew women. Yes! Herod had planned to waste the life of Jesus, but God had a superior plan to discomfit his evil plan. God then instructed Joseph to quickly take little Jesus to Africa (Egypt) until Herod himself would have been wasted. Again, when Jesus died; the expectation of the enemies was that he will not rise again. But on the third day, our Lord rose from the dead! Fear gripped the soldiers; there was jubilation all over the place that Christ had risen. To cover their shame, the authorities bribed the guards who watched the tomb of Jesus to lie that they slept off and the Disciples came and stole his body away.
I pray; any evil plan of the enemy against you and your family shall not come to pass in the name of Jesus.
In Acts 28:1-6, the Bible tells us of how Paul, after he had just escaped shipwreck, now found himself having a viper (a very poisonous snake) wrapped around his hand. The barbarian people had concluded that Paul might be a bad person; otherwise, why was evil trailing him? But Paul, demonstrating the power of God in him, simply shook off the snake into the fire. However, the barbarian people were eager to know how soon Paul would drop dead: “Howbeit, they looked when he should have swollen or fallen down dead suddenly; but after they had looked a great while, and saw no harm come to him, they changed their minds and said that he was a god” (v.6). Anyone expecting and waiting for your downfall shall wait in vain in Jesus name.
The book of Esther 7:10 gives the story of how Haman had concluded plans to waste Mordecai; but it was he instead that was hanged on the very gallows he had made for Mordecai. Proverbs 21:18 says: “The wicked shall be a ransom for the righteous; and the transgressor for the upright”. That will be the lot of your enemies in Jesus name.
Look at this evil expectation in Psalm 41:5 which says: “Mine enemies speak evil of me: When shall he die, and his name perish?” Anyone expecting you to die before your time shall go for you in Jesus name.
Let’s look at another desperation of evil expectation as exhibited against Paul in Acts 23:21, “But do not thou yield unto them: for there lie in wait for him of them more than forty men, which have bound themselves with an oath, that they will neither eat nor drink till they have killed him: and now are they ready, looking for a promise from thee”. Anyone who has embarked on satanic prayer and fasting against you and your family shall go for your sake in the name of Jesus.
There are three kinds of evil prayers, namely: satanic prayers; negative prayers and dark prayers. Any evil pronouncement made against you; your family and work shall backfire in Jesus name.
Lamentation 3:61 says: “Thou hast heard their reproach, O LORD, and all their imaginations against me”. Every evil expectation and imagination of the wicked people against your life and welfare shall backfire in Jesus name.
The book of Hosea 13:14 says “I will ransom them from the power of the grave; I will redeem them from death: O death, I will be thy plagues; O grave, I will be thy destruction: repentance shall be hid from mine eyes”.

This very month, the Lord has made ready his divine instrument to prune some things away from people – things that may want to hinder the manifestation of their double celebration. God has said that even when you have been forgotten, he would bring you to a place of celebration, validation, endorsement, and approval.
When there is failure at the threshold of success; it means there is an opposing voice saying “not yet” for your celebration. But God is also saying even if you have been forgotten, your help must come for you to celebrate. In Genesis 41:38, Joseph was remembered and recognized in Pharaoh’s palace even when the Butler had forgotten him. In any area you have been forgotten where you are supposed to be remembered; let the process take place now. God will remember and reward your labour in Jesus name.
Signs of being forgotten
When certain things happen, it is an indication that one has been forgotten where one ought to be remembered for reward, blessing, promotion or recognition. For example:
There was a day I was coming from London to Nigeria. At the Heathrow Airport, a man approached me, greeted me and after the pleasantries he enquired where I was heading to. I told him and he said I should into a shop there and pick up whatever item I wanted. After an elaborate description, I then recalled him to be a man whom God had remembered while he was in Nigeria, and now a multi-billionaire. He was awarded a contract by a company located in Jos, Plateau State to supply certain materials. He was asked if he had ever supplied it before and he said “no”. the company told him not to worry, but he would be directed to where he could them. While he was wondering how he was going to get the money to make the supply, someone standing by just walked up to him and said he shouldn’t worry, that he just felt like helping him with the needed amount of money. That was how he was given the amount needed for the supply of the goods and became an instant millionaire. That is an evidence of a man remembered by God.
When Does Celebration Come?
A celebration comes when:

EXHORTATION
What this message will address
So many things are happening these days at the speed of lightning. Evil arrows flying everywhere, and people’s destinies are being adversely affected.
Do you think the kingdom of darkness is happy when you make progress? Many people are passing through so many things they cannot explain. In fact, such unexplainable circumstances are on the increase – at National, State, even local levels. There are some wicked people you must report on the altar of prayer before they report you in their dark coven.
In 2 Thessalonians 3:2-3, the Bible says: “And that we may be delivered from unreasonable and wicked men … But the Lord is faithful, who shall stablish you, and keep you from evil.”
This means there are unreasonable and wicked people around, and all they do is make people cry. They are so wicked we just cannot be complacent and allow them to destroy us. Remember, this world is a THEATRE OF WAR!
The book of Job 1:6-7 says “Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before Lord, and Satan came also among them. And the Lord said unto Satan, whence comest thou? Then Satan answered the Lord and said: From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it.” I pray: any evil person using wicked or negative word to attack our destiny and glory shall be disgraced in Jesus name.
I recall a particular song my late mother used to sing always which goes like this: “imokiimo koma gbodo jo, etekete kole duro; enikeni t’oba d’eru oran l’oma f’ori ara re gbe; t’ori Oluwa l’emi ba duro.” (This simply means that no evil counsel taken against me shall prosper and whoever prepares evil load will be the very one to carry the load and bear its brunt).
This confirms what is said in Psalm 7:15-16 that “He made a pit, and digged it, and is fallen into the ditch which he made. His mischief shall return upon his own head, and his violent dealing shall come down upon his own pate.” It is not possible to pacify wicked people with kind words; all they want is to steal, kill and destroy – until they perish from their wicked acts. The Bible says in Psalm 9:5 that: “Thou hast rebuked the heathen, thou hast destroyed the wicked, thou hast put out their name forever and ever.” The Lord will keep us from all evil and wicked men in Jesus name.
Psalm 11:2 – “For, lo, the wicked bend their bow, they make ready their arrow upon the string, that they may privily shoot at the upright in heart.”
Psalm 64:7 – “But God shall shoot at them with an arrow; suddenly shall they be wounded.”
Psalm 25:18-19 – “Look upon my affliction and my pain; and forgive all my sins. Consider mine enemies; for they are many; and they hate me with cruel hatred.”
Lamentation 3:12-13 – “He hath bent his bow and set me as a mark for the arrow. He hath caused the arrows of his quiver to enter into my reins.” Who is setting you as a target? Their arrows will go back to them Jesus name!
2 Corinthians 10:3-5 – “For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: For the weapons of our warfare are not canal, but mighty through God to the pulling down o strongholds; casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ.”
Too many strange things are happening these days defying explanation, rationalization, reasoning, and analysis. Imagine someone who is very talented, hardworking, and diligent, yet he or she is not wanted, or nobody wants to do business with him or her. Why? Because there is a wicked altar saying ‘no’ to the person’s freedom! Some wicked and unreasonable people are firing arrows against your progress. They have planned manipulations that have been set in satanic Calendars and Timetables to manifest at a particular time. Such plan shall backfire in Jesus name.
Recently, it was news that a medical doctor left his office from the Island and when he got to the middle of 3rd Mainland Bridge asked the driver to stop; alighted as if he wanted to ease himself, but instead jumped into the lagoon and drowned. How do you explain that? It is a manipulation from the dark kingdom.
Psalm 41:5 – “Mine enemies speak evil of me: When shall he die, and his name perish?” I pray: Anyone wishing you dead shall die in your place in Jesus name.
Any group of wicked and unreasonable people wishing you; your children or family dead shall receive a backfire in Jesus name.
Also, the story of a pregnant lady wo was living in a rented apartment. One day the landlord met her and told her pointblank that he did not like her at all. She asked why or what she had done wrong, after all, her rent was being paid as at when due, but the landlord said in spite of that, yet, she was not going to deliver her baby here on earth, but in the world beyond. It was then the lady remembered that she had been taught in CLAM that whenever a negative word is spoken or issued against you, reject it immediately by the blood of Jesus, and not only that, send it back to the sender. She confidently affirmed that she would deliver her baby safely, who would live to become an adult and have his own children too. But as for you the landlord, you will not be alive to see all these happen. The man boasted by saying: “we shall see!” Do not allow anyone saying “you shall see” to go away scot-free! Let them see your God in action! Let God answer them by his thunder.
Every challenger challenging your God, shall experience God’s thunderous response in Jesus name!
Exactly seven days to the day of her delivery, the landlord slept and did not wake up!
What does the Bible say in Deuteronomy 19:21?
“And thine eye shall not pity; but life shall go for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot.”
There are murderous people everywhere. We must always be proactive in prayer. We must pray before calamity strikes; we must report them on the altar of prayer and reject their evil imagination before they report us in their coven.
Psalm 18:29, says: “For by thee, I have run through a troop; and by my God have I leaped over a wall.”
After the order of the incident that happened to the hand of the wicked king lifted against the Lord’s anointed in 1 Kings 13:1-4: Whoever stretches evil hand against you; the Lord shall have the hand withered in Jesus in name.
At the early stage of this Ministry (CLAM), there was a certain man who made a negative statement against CLAM that the Ministry was not going to grow (numerically), and if it did at all, it wasn’t going to stand the test of time. When I heard about it, I said “O Lord, let what he had proclaimed against CLAM go back to him and abide with him forever.” He made a negative prayer concerning CLAM and it happened to him just as he had said. Any negative word spoken against anyone of us shall backfire in Jesus name
