WAR AGAINST AFFLICTION, PART 1

Affliction is like a two- edged sword that affects both the righteous and the unrighteous. In a simple term, it is the wicked finger or the involvement of the enemy in the affairs of men.  More-over, affliction in the Hebrew language means ‘aven which means trouble or wickedness.  I need you to know that God is not glorified when you are afflicted; rather it is one of the many schemes of darkness. Please, do not forget that the Bible says:

 “But while he was sleeping, his enemy came and sowed also darnel (weeds resembling wheat) among the wheat, and went on his way” Matt 13:25 (AMP)

Today, many people are groaning under the weight and burden of this dreaded scheme of darkness because somewhere either consciously or unconsciously the enemy penetrated their lives and the resonance effects of such evasion is undoubtedly responsible for the hardship, failure, depression, stagnation and terminal diseases ravaging their destines.

“A righteous man may have many troubles, but the Lord delivers him from them all;” (NIV) Ps 34:19

Though several schools of thought have analyzed the pain, agony and travails associated with affliction and all of these pointed to the fact that affliction is real and deadly if its victim is complacent. In this write-up, I will be sharing with you from the word of God some of the meanings of affliction as well as its causes. Affliction can be pain or bodily torment which someone passes through or an attack by satan against the righteous.

 “Look upon my affliction and my distress and take away all my sins” Ps 25:18. (NIV)

 There are varied degrees caused by this lethal weapon of darkness.  Affliction can make people to be broken (sober), backslide while others are made in the process because of their dexterity. Essentially, this wicked device of the enemy that brews from the pit of hell is aimed at destabilizing the children of God. God Himself feels the pain when the righteous are being afflicted.

“In their entire affliction he was afflicted, and the angel of his presence saved them: in his love and in his pity he redeemed them; and He bares them, and carried them all the days of old“(KJV) Isa 63:9.

You might say I am a believer why should I be afflicted? Yes, you are right but you must always remember that the Bible warns that the whole world is full of the habitation of cruelty.

 

MEDITATE

·        It is what you carry that determines your battle.

·        Warfare always surrounds miracles.

·        If you have never had warfare, that is because you are not carrying anything.

·        Whoever knows the secret of your heart will be in control of your future.

·        Anything you compromise to get, you will eventually lose it somehow.

·        Goats do not have a shepherd, only sheep do.

 

PROPHETIC PRAYER

·        * Every power of stagnation in your life, I kill it!

·         *Every Power of frustration and backwardness dies in your life now!

·        * I revoke the potency of any negative word spoken against you and your children!

·        * Every power swallowing your greatness is hereby disgraced by the blood of Jesus!

·         *Your riches and breakthrough in the depth of the waters is locating you now!

·       *  Every power of limitation reigning in your life is hereby broken!

                                                                               In Jesus Name

CONQUERING SATANIC LIMITATION – Part 3 (Conclusion)

“Destruction has overtaken my people because they have no knowledge; because you have given up knowledge, I will give you up, …” Hos 4:6  (BBE)

In this concluding edition, you will, through the help of the Holy Spirit, discover the right key and button that you need to disarm the powers behind limitation in your life and destiny, the forces responsible for your stagnation, holding you down at a spot and making you go round in circles. There is a great future ahead of you but due to lack of insight, life has become miserable for you, but now I see you being liberated and breaking loose from that oppression today in the name of Jesus.

Until you are armed with the needful (I mean knowledge), you would continually go over the same routine of frustration all your life. While growing up, I discovered some unpleasant trends around me and the only way out is to find resort in God through knowledge and aggressive prayers. I had to locate the correct prescription for my ‘ailment’ and this marked the beginning of my breakthrough in life and ministry.

THE ASSIGNMENT OF SATANIC LIMITION

You cannot afford to be complacent with your present state; rather, you must violently react against it. The battle you fail to confront and conquer now will remain to fight your children’s children (your generations to come) and this is the more reason you need to stand up to every form of limitation in your life and as you take that bold step today, the Lord of Hosts will empower you to defeat your adversaries in Jesus name.

“Does a lion roar in the forest, if there's no carcass to devour? Does a young lion growl with pleasure, if he hasn't caught his supper?” Amos 3:4 (THE MESSAGE)

There is a reason you are going through this situation in life. You ought to have gone further than where you are now but you have been limited by the powers that be from the foundation of your destiny. These powers are designed to tamper with your academics, marriage, divert your destiny, make a mess of your finances, stagnate your journey in life and to make you a story teller with nothing to show for living; but I see God disgrace them out of your life in Jesus name.

Beloved, the horror of satanic limitation will ensure that others with lesser ability, skill or even certification are preferred over you; where you have been pushed aside, men will come back to give you your due entitlement and any form of ancestral bond or covenant with limitation in your lineage responsible for your delay and rejection is broken today in Jesus name. Henceforth, you are unstoppable because you have been empowered through the knowledge you are grasping today.

NOW IS YOUR FREEDOM!

Limitations are delay factors sourced with curses from the coven of darkness primarily to impede the vehicle of your destiny. The powers behind limitation are often age long and their grip and effect cannot be defused by human tendencies or capabilities but by intervention of a Superior Power.

“And it shall come to pass in that day, that his burden shall be taken away from off thy shoulder, and his yoke from off thy neck and the yoke shall be destroyed because of the anointing.” Isa 10:27 (KJV)

If the yoke of limitation that you have long struggled with will be shattered through the anointing of God, I therefore stand, by the anointing, and declare that the yoke of satanic limitation is broken over your life in the name of Jesus. I reverse every evil decree upon you by the blood of Jesus. I command everything responsible for your affliction and stagnation to be broken now in the name of Jesus. Every power and yoke of limitation that has vowed to die with you, I command them to die alone and any power of darkness assigned from any coven to make you end up a story teller in destiny, I command them to die now in the name of Jesus. Every power that says you will not go, I command them to go in your stead in the name of Jesus. I command every yoke of poverty to break in the name of Jesus.

 

THE WAYOUT OF SATANIC LIMITATION

·     Give your life to Christ

·     Ask God in prayers to show you His blueprint for your life so that you can fulfill your destiny.

·     Receive the right direction through the help of the Holy Spirit on how to fight the battles connected with satanic limitation in your life.

CONQUERING SATANIC LIMITATION, PART 2

“For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” Jer 29:11(NIV)

In whatever field or industry you find yourself in life, you must be conscious of this truth; the plan that God has for you is far beyond description and the objective of the enemy is to kill this glorious plan. Even men of God whom you come across also testify to the reality of the greatness of the future ahead of you but there is an assigned force from hell whose sole agenda is to hinder this great plan. How do you know? Perhaps, at every point in time when any good or remarkable thing is to occur, there is awaiting ambassador of darkness fully briefed to end that dream.

Noteworthy is the fact that the brighter and bigger your star is, the fiercer and more terrible the battle and oppositions you encounter. There is battle in life you cannot afford to lose, it is the battle against limitation which could arise from any quarters, but my prayer for you is that you would overcome this battle and your mission in life shall be accomplished in the name of Jesus.

“Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth”. 3 John:2

 The writer of this epistle was painted in clearer terms about the intention of God for His children; in like manner, permit me to rephrase this scripture that the devil’s wish, above all things, is that you fail. I would be a fool to think that the enemy has good intentions for my destiny, no! The enemy desires that you will not hit your goal; his wish above all things is that you will make marital mistakes beyond remedy which would eventually jeopardize your destiny, his intent is that you will live a life of squalor and abject poverty, also that you remain in the congregation of the ignorant so that he can continually take advantage of you. It is your duty to fight against these satanic limitations, and you will conquer in Jesus name.

THE SCOURGE OF SATANIC LIMITATION

A man who is limited is one with a bleak future regardless of his religious beliefs except he prays himself out of his situation and this involves praying the right prayer, not until this is done there can hardly be a way out of his calamity. A limited man is caged and hindered notwithstanding his certification, oratory, prowess, influence or affluence.

A limited man operating under the spell of satanic atmosphere is confined to point which makes life frustrating, therefore, I pray for you that any form of limitation, which is militating against where the Lord has destined you to be, is removed now in the name of Jesus. So many who are supposed to be prominent personalities on earth have been reduced to commoners under the weight of satanic circumstances; they are supposed to be great in life but they have been restrained. Permit me to quickly add that your spirituality or how religious you are has nothing to do with this.

“Because it was our will to come to you. [I mean that] I, Paul, again and again [wanted to come], but Satan hindered and impeded us.” 1 Thess 2:18 (AMP)

Sometime ago, I met with a brother in one of our services and immediately the Spirit of the Lord revealed to me that he was not meant to be in this country but somehow had been incapacitated. I then asked him to get his traveling passport and broke the chain of limitation after which I asked him to re-apply and that was the end; he was later sharing with me how the embassy invited him over for his visa. That was how he got his breakthrough. The Bible says, ‘Jesus Christ, the same yesterday, today and forever’, I decree, every limitation in your life shall die in the name of Jesus. So many here who should be calling the shots in their various fields of endeavor have been ensnared and limited in the pursuit of their destiny assignment. Alas! There is a power (demonic force) questioning their aspirations; I pray for you that every power holding you, I command them to break their hold over your life in the name of Jesus

CONQUERING SATANIC LIMITATION,PART 1

“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.
