MATCH FORWARD AND TA
KE POSSESSION
Will you not take what your god Chemosh gives you? Likewise, whatever the Lord our God has given us, we will possess. Judg. 11:24 NIV
That is a powerful word for the month of March. I have no intention to negotiate on anything that I know that God has given to me. People worship all kinds of things and call them their god. Some of these gods spread curses and diseases. Some of these gods make their worshipers insane and there are gods who are so backward that they abhor technology. Jehovah is not like that. I will gladly invite them to come over to worship my God.
The good news is that our God gives good things to His worshipers.
At the beginning of this year, we received a powerful prophetic message from the Lord, “Blossom” and by the grace of God we shall live in the daily reality of it. We will blossom because there is power in the words of the King of kings. I am currently enjoying a lot of transformation around me.
As expected, our enemy the devil hates to even hear that the children of God are drawing close to attain the fullness of God’s intention for us. God’s intention is very plain,
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
It was not long after the children of Israel left their place of pain, bondage and suffering in Egypt that their enemies mobilized their forces to bring the people of God back into bondage. It was not many days after Daniel and his team escaped death from the king Nebuchadnezzar that he molded an image of a false god and he would have destroyed them in the furnace if our most powerful God did not step into the fire.
Devil, his demons and the humans who submit to him live according to their titles, they are our enemies and they hate to see us in the good of God’s plan for us. They want our lives to reflect the direct opposite of God’s intention for us. They want to quickly drag us back to the place or thing that God has delivered us from. They want to make it seem like a costly mistake for us to live the life of peace and joy that God has purposed for us.
Our main text tells us the reply Jephthah gave to the enemy. The enemy and his forces wanted the children of God to return the blessings that God had given to them.
The king of the Ammonites answered Jephthah's messengers, "When Israel came up out of Egypt, they took away my land from the Arnon to the Jabbok, all the way to the Jordan. Now give it back peaceably." Judg. 11:13 NIV
Did you read where the enemy referred to forfeiting their inheritance as an art of peace? Believe me when I tell you that this is the kind of peace a lot of professing Christians are living on today. They let the enemy keep his hold on their finances because every time they take any step towards attaining prosperity the enemy will attack them viciously. Now they are singing on the social media that everyone will not be rich. They even call preachers who talk about prosperity false prophets. In order to have peace from the devil. They have trimmed their life to suit the low life.
For some people it is their marriage; any time they take the step in the direction of getting established in marriage, the enemy will attack viciously and disorganize everything. Now they are singing the song, “marriage is not for everyone!”.
For some it is their academic pursuit; anytime they want to advance their studies, one sickness will set in to drag them back. Now they are singing the song, “Everyone will not be a graduate”.
For people there will be trouble anytime they make efforts to establish a big business. Now, they are singing, “It does not work for me. Let me just stay the way I am”.
For some people the only way they can keep the peace is by spending regularly on medications and hospital bills. When Pastor Emma tells them that they can break free from such burdens, they see me as the trouble maker. That is the way they keep the peace.
There are those whose children are under the control of the devil. These children are living wild life that is contrary to God’s will and the godly parents are afraid of lifting their voice. Right under their watch the devil is destroying their children with hard drugs, alcohol, sexual immorality and all manner of destructive lifestyles. Some pastors even tell the parents to just accept those destructive lifestyles as the nature of the children.
As a servant of God I have experienced this kind of vicious attacks when I try to move my ministry into a higher dimension. Things begin to happen like you are doing something wrong. It is the enemy trying to force you back to smallness and bondage.
There are those who are under demonic oppression; they are always abused sexually in their dreams; they are often pressed in their sleep and evil spirits haunt their homes. Anytime they go into intensive warfare prayers, there is a vicious spiritual attack. Now they say, I think things are better when I don’t use those PNUR Prayer Collections, because each time I use them, I experience attacks.
Beloved child of God, this is not a way to live your Christian life and that is not God’s plan for you. We are on Mount Zion and this is what the word of God says,
But on Mount Zion will be deliverance; it will be holy, and the house of Jacob will possess its inheritance. Obad. 17 NIV
There is total deliverance available here and you have an inheritance. Yet, you are the one to take charge of your inheritance.
Amen!
We can learn something very vital from Jephthah’s response. Our God did not call us to serve Him in vain. (Isa. 45:19). It is in the program of our God to bless us abundantly. When He told us to blossom this year, He meant it.
Then will all your people be righteous and they will possess the land forever. They are the shoot I have planted, the work of my hands, for the display of my splendor. Isa. 60:21 NIV
Whatever is in the will of God for you, has left the store houses of heaven. It is your place to step into it and keep your hold on it. You do not need to turn your back and flee because the enemy is attacking. You do not need to tune down your life to allow peace from the enemy. You are supposed to stand and tell him plainly, “I am not shifting grounds, devil! I also do not have any plans to negotiate with you. If God has given it to me, I will keep it!”
That is where the battle really starts. As expected, the enemy will attack, but that is also why you have the Holy Spirit who will help you to move into a high level of spiritual authority. With the Holy Spirit in your life, there is no limit to the power you have over the devil and the hosts of darkness.
If you make the Most High your dwelling — even the Lord, who is my refuge — then no harm will befall you, no disaster will come near your tent. For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways; they will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone. You will tread upon the lion and the cobra; you will trample the great lion and the serpent. "Because he loves me," says the Lord, "I will rescue him; I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name. Ps. 91:9-14 NIV
You can now understand why we want to spend the entire month of March in prayers. In this month, we want to reenforce our God given mandate to BLOSSOM! There is no better way to achieve that other than through prayers.
Here is the schedules;
• 6am-12pm every day, we will be fasting.
• 12 midnight for the entire month of March, Pastor Kassey Emmanuel will be leading us in midnight cry.
• Every 4pm on every Sunday in March, we will hold deliverance session in the Door of Hope Christian Center, Port Harcourt.
• You will be getting regular teachings and Prayer Collection for each day.
Through out the month of March, our ministry team will be ready to support you in prayers and counselling.
Like always, I know that all my wonderful family and partners are ready to launch out.
In the words of Jephthah, we will possess whatever our God has given to us.
You already know that I am praying for you.
Emma your brother pnurnigeria@gmail.com
