MESSAGE
One of the spiritual weapons at
the disposal of God's children is
shouting. All that the children of
Israel did to pull down the
formidable walls of Jericho was
to shout. The Bible in Joshua
6:20 says:
"So the people shouted when the
priests blew with the trumpets:
and it came to pass, when the
people heard the sound of the
trumpet, and the people shouted
with a great shout, that the wall
fell down flat, so that the people
went up into the city, every man
straight before him, and they
took the city."
Do you know that you can utilise
the weapon of shouting to
receive your miracle or
breakthrough? Some years ago, a
woman was brought to us at the
headquarters of our church. She
complained that for years,
whenever she ate, she vomited.
The doctors had tried all they
could to help her retain the food
she ate, but nothing worked. It
was so bad that even when she
drank water, she would vomit it.
When she was brought in, I told
everyone to shout Hallelujah! As
she did, she vomited a worm,
and that was the end of her
sickness. As you shout Hallelujah
this season, you shall receive
your miracle in Jesus' Name.
Furthermore, another weapon
available to believers in Christ is
the Name of Jesus. That Name is
so highly exalted that everything,
everyone and every power
everywhere must bow to it
(Philippians 2:9-11). It is amazing
to know that when some
Christians go through a serious
situation that needs divine
intervention, they call on the
names of their father or mother
but not on the Name of Jesus, the
only One who can help them. In
Acts 16:16-18, a demon
possessed girl who followed Paul
and Silas around, was
immediately delivered after they
commanded the demon to leave
her in the Name of Jesus.
Recently, I was about to enter my
car while going to minister to my
children after a Holy Communion
service, when a particular girl ran
towards me screaming.
I asked my personal assistant to
allow her come near. The fellow
who brought her said while she
was at her station of primary
assignment on national youth
service, something happened to
her which made her lose her
voice. Her voice was completely
cut out. On a piece of paper, she
wrote that the demon said that
the only person who could send
him out was Pastor Adeboye. So I
prayed a simple prayer in the
Name of Jesus, and before I
ended the prayer, she voiced out
"Amen". As I turned to enter my
car, she was audibly shouting
"Daddy, daddy". My son said to
me "Daddy, she is already
speaking." I just smiled. Use the
Name of Jesus more often. Apply
His Name in all that you do. When
you do so, do it in faith and
ensure you are not living in sin.
ACTION POINT:
If you really believe in the power
in the Name of Jesus, use it to
confront your mountains.
