TAKING OVER THROUGH PRAYER 1

"PRAYING ALWAYS WITH ALL PRAYER AND SUPPLICATION IN THE SPIRIT, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints."
Ephesians 6:18 (NKJV)

• Whatever God has for you, which you could not get in the place of prayer, or through prayer, in the spiritual realm, could not be gotten or received in the physical realm.

• You pray to take over; to appropriate whatever God has spoken about your life and ministry—your inheritances in God through Christ Jesus.

• There are some basic truths you have to know about the devil and his kingdom:
a. The devil is a spirit being, hence a supernatural being. And he has other spirits which are working with him; the fallen angels and the demons.
b. The devil is diversified in his operation and the air space is the seat or the base of his operations (Daniel 10:13,20; Ephesians 6:12).
c. The devil has a well arranged and planned kingdom. The network operation in his kingdom is well arranged and connected. This aids informations to travel fast in his kingdom.

• As God did have the believers in Christ Jesus, who are loyal to Him and His Kingdom on the earth; the devil also has the humans who are loyal to him, and are working for the expansion of his kingdom on the earth. The likes of satanists, witches, wizards, occultists, voodoos, witch-doctors, and many more (Acts 13:6-11).

• These human agents of the dark kingdom, who worked for the devil, had made a decision or covenant with him to propagate his kingdom.

• Human agents of the dark kingdom are promoted based on their faithfulness, hardworking, and the results they were able to get in the assignment given to them.
• Know that the devil cannot operate in the world without the cooperation of human beings. This also is applicable to God, He would not operate in the world without the cooperation or involvement of the humans.
• The devil needs humans as instruments, for the expansion of his kingdom or work on the earth; and God does as well.
• Those who are human agents of the devil had demons assigned to work with them in carrying out the plans, programmes, and various works of the devil.
• Their works are mainly about the lives of human beings in general (Ephesians 2:2) and that of those who are loyal to God who are hindering the devil and his cohorts from carrying out their operations (Revelation 12:17).
• These human agents are given spiritual instruments and weapons with which to work with—to carry out their evil agendas or nefarious activities.
• They attack their victims with sicknesses, diseases, lost of fortunes, distresses, evil occurrences, blindness of minds, and many others. Sicknesses and the likes are the works of the devil (Luke 13:10-16; Acts 10:38; 1 John 3:8).

• Demons are cultural. There are demons assigned to work in certain areas, towns, cities, and nations (Daniel 10:13,20).

• The demons in the mad man of Gadarenes did not want to leave the area or region; they pleaded that Jesus will not send them away from that region but should permit them to enter into the herd of swine feeding around the place (Mark 5:1-13).
• This is one of the reasons why things that happen in each community, town, city, or nation, differ.
• The demons in each area, in conjunction with the human agents of the devil in such a place, are given the responsibility or duty by the devil; to influence the social-economic and the spiritual activities of the area and the life of the people resident there:
  2 IN WHICH YOU ONCE WALKED ACCORDING TO THE COURSE OF THIS WORLD, ACCORDING TO THE PRINCE OF THE POWER OF THE AIR, THE SPIRIT WHO NOW WORKS IN THE SONS OF DISOBEDIENCE, 3 AMONG WHOM ALSO WE ALL ONCE CONDUCTED OURSELVES IN THE LUSTS OF OUR FLESH, FULFILLING THE DESIRES OF THE FLESH AND OF THE MIND, AND WERE BY NATURE CHILDREN OF WRATH, JUST AS THE OTHERS" (Ephesians 2:2,3 NKJV).

• The devil also has demons that he assigned to monitor some people's cases. - The demon assigned would not allow the person to open up or yield to be ministered to, or listen to whatever he or she is being told about their predicament (2 Corinthians 4:4); that their deliverance might not be made a reality or perfect:
24 AND A SERVANT OF THE LORD must not quarrel but be gentle to all, able to teach, patient, 25 IN HUMILITY CORRECTING THOSE WHO ARE IN OPPOSITION, if God perhaps will grant them repentance, SO THAT THEY MAY KNOW THE TRUTH, 26 AND THAT THEY MAY COME TO THEIR SENSES AND ESCAPE THE SNARE OF THE DEVIL, HAVING BEEN TAKEN CAPTIVE BY HIM TO DO HIS WILL" (2 Timothy 2:24-26 NKJV).
READ: 2 Corinthians 4:3,4

• There are also errand demons whose works are to carry news, or take informations to places—their centres of operations. Information travels fast in his kingdom as earlier said. The devil is not omnipresent, but has a lot of workers, demons and humans, to carry out his bidding at different locations and at each stipulated time.
• The devil himself goes about to and fro, in the world, to monitor things (Job 1:7; 2:2; 1 Peter 5:8).

• You will not fail in Jesus' name.

• If you are battling with any sickness or disease, I declare your healing now in Jesus' mighty name.
  The hold of the sickness is destroyed completely in the mighty name of Jesus Christ.
  Peace.

STEPS TO SALVATION
• Take notice of this:
IF you are yet to take the step of salvation, that is, yet to be born-again, do it now, tomorrow might be too late (2 Corinthians 6:1,2; Hebrews 3:7,8,15).
a. Acknowledge that you are a sinner and confess your Sins (1 John 1:9); And ask Jesus Christ to come into your life (Revelation 3:20).
b. Confess that you believe in your heart that Jesus Christ is Lord, and that you confess it with your mouth, Thus, you accept Him As your Lord and Saviour (Romans 10:9,10).
c. As you took the steps A and B your name is written in the Book of Life (Philippians 4:3; Revelation 3:8).

• If you took the steps As highlighted above, congratulations, It means you are saved—born-again. Join a Word based church in your area and Town or city, and be part of whatever they are doing there. Peace!
