You need to look up to God and ask him to open your eyes to areas where you need to make amends and areas where you have inadvertently given the adversary a foothold. All the enemy needs to build a stronghold is just a foothold and when he enters, he begins to steal, kill, and destroy. Wherever he operates, people stink, they sink.
Pray –
- Lord, open my eyes. Show me anywhere I have ever held any plank for the adversary to come in, in any way I have given him a foothold. Please, mercifully intervene. Help me to close any demonic gateway, anything that gives the enemy access in any area of my life, help me to shut that gate in the mighty name of Jesus.
- Everlasting Father, mighty God, I give you praise, I give you all the glory in the mighty name of Jesus.
- You are our King o God, command deliverances for us. Command blessings. Command purification, command sanctification. Command redemption. Command your purging in the name of Jesus.
- Hear our cry, O God, in the name of Jesus. Wipe away every trace of iniquity. Anything in us that binds, anything that fetters and damns and anything that does not want us to be all you want us to be, Father, in the name of Jesus, wipe it away.
- Cleanse me from secret faults and presumptuous sins in the name of Jesus. Purge my heart. Let the words of my mouth and the meditations of my heart be acceptable to you. Thank you Father in Jesus name.
As you drop the things you need to drop, you will discover that you are getting lighter and lighter. The closer you come to God, the more broken you become. The worst type of pride is the one that is exhibited in the presence of God. That is why we need to be very careful about how we relate with God. Don’t play God. Give God all the glory that is due to him. When God begins to bless you, ask for grace to be humble. When God begins to use you in any way, even in blessing people, you have to be careful. Pride is a cheap sin. When it begins to manifest, people tend to assume the role that is not meant for them, they start playing God.
It is dangerous to have money before you have character because the person will not be able to retain it and that is why the Bible says, the prosperity of fools shall destroy them (Prov. 1:32). We need plenty of wisdom. God has ordained three categories of blessings for this ministry and I pray that you will not settle for less. May the devil not deceive you. May the devil not distract you. May the devil not dislocate you. May the devil not delude you.
