Sometime ago, I was invited to minister at a women’s program. As I was ministering, the Holy Spirit led me to make an altar call for those who were bitter. Initially, I couldn’t muster the courage to make the call because of the caliber of women at the meeting (spirit filled, committed and serving God faithfully). However, when it came forcefully a second time, I made the call. I was shocked at the number of people that trooped out. If the Holy Spirit had not led me to make this call, the meeting would have ended and everyone would have gone back home the same way they came.
This is one of the reasons why people embark on a long fast without any commensurate result. Bitterness is a neutralizer. Whenever you notice it in your life, stop. Clean up. It is an indication that a serpent has entered into the garden of your heart. Remove every snake poison before you start praying; don’t pretend that all is well. James 3:16 says, “For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work.” There are things that attract the snake. Kill the snake and build your home! Out of all the women present at that meeting, only two people stayed back; one was a widow and the other was approaching her seventies as at that time. After they came out, the Holy Spirit went further to tell me that most of them were holding their husbands in unforgiveness. I obeyed, gave the call and was amazed at the number of people who raised up their hands. What God has ordained to be a plus to you will never become a minus in Jesus name.
Pray
- Lord, this year, I ask that whatever you have ordained to be a blessing to me, will never become a curse in the name of Jesus. Any power that wants to transform my blessing into a curse, let that power be completely exterminated in the name of Jesus.
- Whatever you have ordained to be an enhancer for me will never diminish me in the mighty name of Jesus.
- Whatever should be an enhancer to my family will never bring diminishing returns in the name of Jesus Christ.
Recently I called the attention of a man who almost committed a serious blunder in his marriage which was facing serious issues and on the brink of collapse. He was so bitter. I counseled him using some scriptures and to the glory of God the man realized his mistakes and repented. When a snake enters a home, the husband and wife will start throwing stones at each other. Before long, they will start hearing voices asking them to do the unthinkable not knowing that it is the snake that is suggesting things to them. Kill the snake and leave your spouse. Your spouse is not the problem but a blessing.
Pray
- That God will help every home discern the presence of the snake in the garden and kill it.
- Father, let the operations of every agent of darkness in the garden of my home come to an end in the mighty name of Jesus.
- Let the power of your presence terminate the presence of every snake in my home in the name of Jesus. Silence the voice of serpentine communications and neutralize the activities of snakes in the garden.
- I raise the blood of Jesus against every snake and fence off the snake from my home in the name of Jesus. I fence off the presence of every snake in the gardens of my home in the name of Jesus Christ.
- Lord, I ask that you heal every embittered heart. Purify and remove bitterness, strife, resentment, malice in the name of Jesus Christ. Wipe them away, and let your joy return in the garden of every heart in the name of Jesus Christ. Let your peace return, let progress return in the mighty name of Jesus. Let the Holy Ghost take over every heart. Let your river of life flow in the name of Jesus.
