PART 1

DOPIC: DESTINY CHANGER. Destiny is an attraction speaking about the future. Everyone has a destiny in God. God is a God of purpose. Jer 1:5. I might not know details of Gods destiny for you but can tell you that God wants you to shine brighter and brighter as the day goes by Prov 4:18. Your destiny is to prosper Jer 29:11. Your destiny is that you are blessed. Deut 28:6. Deut 28:3. Your destiny is fruitful.

But along comes the adversary. John 10:10. Some are destined to be the head, prosper, shine, fruitful etc but unfortunately we see some of them struggling now and going through challenges. The thief has come to steal, to kill and to destroy. God will put you on track for your destiny in Jesus name ( Amen ) .

Four Hebrew boys had destiny but one day they were taken captive, Daniel, Meshaic, Shadrach and Abednego. God intervened and completely restored them to achieve their destiny.

PART 2

TOPIC: RESIST THE DEVIL

Text: Joel 2:25-27, James 4:7

Father this very day arise for me and scatter all my enemies.

We have to deal with the devil because he was the original trouble maker. The seed of the woman will come and deal with the devil. 1 John 3:8 God asked us to deal with the devil. God will never ask us to do what we cannot do. God knows our ability. He said resist the devil meaning that devil can be resisted by me and you. Phil 4:13. Not only can he be resisted ,devil must be resisted. Mark 16:17

Devil must not be worshipped Exo 20:3. Every tree not planted by God shall be uprooted tonight. Devil should not be glorified. Acts 8:9-24. All the forces tormenting you shall become your footstool. Matt 15:21-28. Devil should not be tolerated. Devil should not be accommodated. Mark 5:11-13. Every blood sucker in my family will not see the new year. Devil is not to be served. Matt 4:8-10. Devil is not to be loved. Mark 12:30-31. Devil is not to be advertised. Acts 1:8. Do not associate with the devil. 2 Cor 6:14-16. Jesus will send light into your life.

God says resist the devil and he will flee from us. Num 23:19. Some may say that have resisted but devil is not fleeing. May be you have not submitted yourself completely. The reason why some are afraid of witches and wizard is because you have not totally surrendered to God. If you are not covered with the blood of Jesus, and you command demons to get out, he may come to you. They overcame by the blood of the lamb. 1 John 3:8. How can you resist your master. If you are living in sin, you are of the devil. If you are servant of the devil and you have audacity to tell the devil to get out, devil will wonder who is speaking. Acts 19:11-17. You cannot be one leg in Christ and one leg in the world and ask demons to move. You cannot go to Church and at the same time belong to secret society and ask demons to move, he will say who are you?

The moment you submit, you resist the devil and the devil will run. Devil know who has submitted to God. 1 Peter 5:8-9, we must resist Satan steadfastly and we must resist the devil in the name of Jesus. Don’t be afraid of the devil. Zac 4:6. We are resisting the devil by the power of God. 1 John 4:4. God is on our side. We must tell the devil you cannot capture my family. Gen 14:1-16.

Father, in the mighty name of Jesus no member of my family will go to hell.

It is time to tell the devil that I refuse to allow you to control my future. 2 Kings 4:1-7. Children are being tormented by forces of darkness these days. 1 Sam 25:1-42.

Father, in the mighty name of Jesus I decree Satan take your hands off my children.

It is time to tell the devil you cannot have my dreams. Many of us have great dreams but now wondering if the dreams can be actualised. Some have direct prophesy but enemy in the family wants to limit the destiny. Gen 39:1- end. Devil wanted to steal the dreams of Joseph but he resisted.

Father in the mighty name of Jesus, Satan will not destroy my dreams. I will become what you want me to become.

It is high time we tell the devil that you cannot steal my blessing. Gen 22:1-18. You will trek no more very soon. When devil ask you not to do what God asked you to do.

Father from now on the devil will no longer steal my blessings.

It’s time we tell the devil you can no longer steal my breakthrough. Mark 10:46-52. Bartimeaus story.

Father, this very night, my breakthrough must come. Satan you will not hinder my breakthrough.

We must tell the devil he cannot have our crowns. Jesus is the king of kings. We have our crown reserved 1 Sam 17. Devil realized that David has been anointed to be king and he wanted to destroy his crown. Rev 3:11. Hold fast that which you have lest no man take your crown. Nobody will take my crown in Jesus name.

Father in the mighty name of Jesus nobody will take my crown. Father deliver my neighbor from the devil totally.
HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU ALL !!!

TEXT: Luke 17:11-19
Literally, mercy could be seen as a kind or forgiving treatment of someone who could be treated harshly.

It could also be seen as compassion or forbearance shown especially to an offender or to someone subject to one’s power.

Moreover, we need the mercy of God in order to secure access to everything obtainable in the kingdom of God.
God revealed Himself to Moses on the platform of mercy (Exodus 33:18-23; Romans 9:15-16).

Jesus revealed to the Pharisees that He came to show mercy (Mat 9:10-13; Hos 6:6)
Whatever is given by God to man, is provided on the platform of mercy.

We receive forgiveness, blessing, healing, ministry, strength to finish strong and so many others, by mercy. Access to the kingdom of God is obtained by mercy.

Any provision we get or obtain without the mercy of God is spiritually illegal (it does not glorify God). No man can receive a thing except it is given by God (John 3:27).

Mercy works at the instance of faith. When living faith is provoked, the mercy of God speaks! (Acts 14:8-10).

Jesus Christ is Mercy personified. Everyone that approached Him for mercy was justified in one way or the other.

When mercy speaks, the impossible becomes possible; the dead situation comes alive; the dry bones live again; garment of iniquity is replaced with garment of righteousness; the handwriting of ordinances (certificate of debt) designed against one is blotted out.

The ten lepers met Jesus on the way to Jerusalem and they cried for mercy. They stood afar off, the law restrained them from moving closer to people, but their heart-cry and deep yearning for the Master could not be hindered.

Remember, the Lord delights in those who fear Him and hope in His mercy (Psalm 147:10-11). Do you hope in His mercy?

Consequently, the Lord instructed them to go and present themselves before the priests, and it came to pass that as they went, they were cleansed, they were healed…

One of the criminals hanged on the cross with Jesus obtained mercy (Luke 23:39- 43)
Rejecting the mercy of God implies that we are trying to relegate the righteousness of God, thereby promoting self righteousness.

A man that has not encountered the Cross will never see the need for mercy. He believes he has the power and might to do everything.

Only a humble man (with a contrite heart, spirit and a broken heart) can genuinely seek and obtain the mercy of God.

LORD, have mercy on me…Hebrews 4:14- 16.
