“Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and
before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto
the nations”.Jer 1:5
“For I know the thoughts that I
think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give
you an expected end”. Jer 29:11
“Behold,
I have graven thee upon the palms of my hands; thy walls are continually before me.” Isa 49:16
From the last scripture, it is
evident that God has a list of you and I, and the preceding scripture tells us
that we have been enlisted to succeed, advance, flourish, shine and to make it.
This shows that God has plans for us. However, you need to realize that as God
has plans to make the best out of your life, likewise the enemy (satan) has
devised his own scheme to frustrate this plan. In other words, that you are a
believer does not preclude you from attack from these evil perpetrators. This
is my prayer for you; where you are supposed to be and you have been limited,
the hand of the Almighty God will catapult you to that desired level in Jesus
name.
In very simple terms, limitation
could mean restriction or imposition of unnecessary delay. But the intent of
God for His children is to succeed, shine and prosper; the bible says “…thoughts of peace…” He wants your
life to be a testimony; “…to give you an
expected end”, this is the plan of God for your life but the devil has plans
also, his plan basically is to truncate that “expected end” that God has for you. He wants to hinder you and it
is your duty to fight and conquer him.
“We wanted very much to come to you, and
I, Paul, tried again and again, but Satan prevented us.” 1 Thess
2:18
The assertion of Apostle Paul in this
regard helps to have another perspective on the damaging effect of satanic
limitation which I will expound on very shortly. If Apostle Paul could boldly say
that “…satan hindered us”, then you
have to understand that you must fight to attain what God has ordained you to
be. Paul had this extra-ordinary zeal for the work of the gospel and the devil
knowing the extent and possible impact of his mission went ahead to orchestrate
men and circumstances as impediments to the realization of his purpose.
“This
[ambition] is the reason why I have so frequently been hindered from coming to
visit you.” Rom 15:22 (AMP)
There is a goal (spiritually,
physically, financially) which God has set for your advancement in destiny but
satanic opposition will come in confrontation with that purpose but it shall
not stand in Jesus name. God is not limited in His plans; His lofty agenda is
irrevocable and if truly you are a child of God, it is your duty to fight and
face every organized opposition from the pit of hell.
EFFECTS OF SATANIC LIMITATION
The word “limitation” has negative connotations like unlawful stoppage, imposed
restriction or being confined to a marked circumference. Notable is the fact
that life is full of battles arising from the peculiar assignment God has given
every individual and the architect of this mayhem is primarily the devil ably
assisted by his wicked subjects.
Satanic limitation can strip a man of
all benefits and privileges associated with his destiny thus making same to lag
behind in the schedule of life. The implication of this is that the victim cannot
stand or rub shoulders with his colleagues.
“I have even seen servants riding
horseback like princes—and princes walking like servants!” Ecc 10:7 (NLT)
This particular brother was born a
prince but an unfortunate event took place and his once-upon-a-time servant is
now the “prince” while he (the original prince) is left in his helpless state.
Surely, something beyond the ordinary took place. This same fate is what many
people are battling with today and there seems to be no one to help salvage
their destiny; beloved, never underestimate how far-reaching satanic limitation
can be. There is an invisible chain and power positioned at every juncture of
your destiny to halt and slow you down; there are forces that are acquaintances
and they are familiar with the geometry
of your destiny. Many today who ought to be high fliers in life have found
themselves in the humble state of life; they have been limited due to an
invisible chain or chains of limitation holding them. If you have been limited in
any way, I decree freedom for you in Jesus name. Whatever thing the enemy has
put in your way to serve as impediment, I remove them now and release upon you,
speed and grace to overtake in the name of Jesus.
…to be continued next week.
MEDITATE
*Money is a defense but lack of it is an offense.
*Wealth is not meant for accumulation but for distribution.
*A heart for God is what gives you the earth to possess.
*Until you have a good sense of value for spiritual things,
you cannot experience the flow of the virtue.
*When you are in covenant with God, you have a covering.
*Until you are ready for God, you are not ready for good.
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
*This month, you will not labour in vain!
*You will not bring forth for trouble!
*The fruit of your labour shall not be stolen!
*The heavens shall open for you and give you
a down pour of God’s rain.
*The fruit of the earth shall come to you in abundance!
*This year, the Lord shall bless you and it shall show forth!
In Jesus
name
