Injury Time

Text: Rev.12:9-12
More Lessons: Rev.22:7-12

Injury time is about the most risky period in the game of football. When the entire 90 minutes time is over and it is injury time, it is usually far limited a time than the extent of play. This is the time that a little mistake could make the difference between the two teams. Injury time is when mistakes committed are hardly corrected. In the Christian race, suffice it to say that we are already in the injury time; or what we generally know as the end time. Our passage for today says the dragon and his angels were cast out into the earth. That is the origin of demons. When they got to the face of the earth their activities were not less than their rebellion in heaven.

The consequences of Satan being cast down onto the earth is seen in verse 12. The earth is cursed by the coming of Satan because he fell with great wrath. We have a wounded, defeated and angry enemy that has understandably refused to accept defeat and go to hell alone. Satan's greatest problem is that he has limited time. Man is the enemy of Satan because he has what Satan lost in heaven and God had given him dominion over everything He created. Man has the ability for anything on earth as God has the ability for anything in heaven. Satan does not have ability for anything at all. The dominion that Satan sought for and lost in heaven was given by God to man. Satan is angry because he has lost it all. He lost it in heaven and he lost it on earth. The only thing left for Satan is to fight with limited time. So whatever Satan is doing, he puts all he has got into it and he does his warfare with great speed.

If from the fall of Satan he had a short time left, how much less time left for him in this end time? Because we are in the injury time how angrily do you think that Satan will operate? We are at war and Satan is working harder than ever before. War is ongoing but unfortunately, quite a number of Christians are asleep. This is not the time to relax or relapse; you are in this battle destined to be a victor, not a victim.

Considering the danger in lukewarmness, the Bible encourages those doing good to continue in their godliness. However, God warns the ungodly that the time is fast approaching when the Son of Man shall return with rewards for everybody as determined by our works. Though God’s eternal desire is for us to be rewarded for good works done in His vineyard; nevertheless, the ungodly will not escape His wrath and judgement.

Prayer/Action.
* Pray that the Lord will make you a victor and not a victim.
* Ask God to reverse anything in you that can make you miss heaven.
* Pray that you will not be a victim of Satan’s last minute membership drive.
* Make up your mind to serve God in a renewed strength and service till rapture.

Divine Noise

Text: II Kings7:1-7
More Lessons: Ezek.37:1-10

The Lord told me this morning, “Your enemy will hear a noise and they will surrender”. God told me T this morning that, “There will be exploits without stress”. There is a level of expression that tells God in heaven that I am needed here. Even in times of depression, shout hallelujah and remain connected to God. I never had a shout of hallelujah without a manifestation of results. The armies of Syria heard noise and ran. When your enemy hears your shout this month they will flee. There is a shout that barreness hears and it flees. There is a shout that sickness hears and it flees. There is a prophetic shout that you will give this morning, those who need to hear it as a warning will hear it, those who need to hear it as a gunshot will hear it and they will surrender. Today by a shout, I expel every force and turn every problem into a testimony. I turn your frustration to a celebration.

I connect you with II kings 7 and give you the courage to confront every opposition in your life in Jesus' name. Receive the courage to do the unusual in Jesus' name. I make your enemy's location empty. The stronghold of your enemy will no longer be inhabited in Jesus' name. The Bible says they found no man there. God will go ahead of you throughout the year, and by the end of the year you will be celebrated. The Syrian armies left the camp without taking anything with them. These lepers had a cheap harvest. What you do not have the money to buy will be given to you free. That thing you are looking for you will get it free in Jesus' name. Receive your healing, scholarship and job free. How did Israel get it free? Look at verse 6; “For the Lord had made the host of Syria to hear a noise..........”. He that went ahead of Israel for 40 years, and also went ahead of the lepers to clear the way will go ahead of you in 2013 and beyond in the mighty name of Jesus.

The king of Israel was sleeping at home but God was fighting on his behalf. The enemy must hear your noise and surrender to you. Whatever they took from you will be recovered in full by the special help of God. In the valley of dead dry bones Ezekiel prophesied as he was commanded by God and great exploits followed. Likewise, I prophesy and supernatural exploits to your destiny thenceforth more than ever before in Jesus' name. Every limitation that you have in your destiny I command them to go right

Prayer/Action.
* Every altar that has hitherto stood against you declare them fallen in the name of Jesus
* In 2013, excellent exploits where doors open on their own accord will happen for you.
* Whatever you desire begin to mention and declare them granted with your own mouth.

The Mystery of Shouting

Tuesday, 19 November
Text: I Sam.4:4-8
More Lessons: Josh.6:15-20

To any lover of the game of football, shouting is a regular act. Spectators shout in the stadium to motivate players on the field to action or to appreciate good moves (either dribbling or goals scored). In our relationship with God, shouting does same and even much more. In I Sam.4:4-8, when the ark of the covenant of the LORD came into the camp, Israel shouted with a great shout, so that the earth vibrated. “And when the Philistines heard the noise of the shout, they said, What meaneth the noise of this great shout in the camp of the Hebrews? And they understood that the ark of the LORD was come into the camp” v6

Israel without any exception shouted when the ark of God entered their camp. Today you are that mobile ark, the tabernacle of Jehovah in whom the Holy Spirit dwells. You are better positioned to shout than the children of Israel did. When you shout unto God, the enemies announce their own downfall: “And the Philistines were afraid, for they said; God is come into the camp. And they said, Woe unto us! for there hath not been such a thing heretofore” v7. Do you know that the enemy has a record of your greatness? The Philistines said, “Woe unto us! Who shall deliver us out of the hand of these mighty gods? These are the gods that smote the Egyptians with all the plagues in the wilderness”V8. However, this shout did not save the Israelites because they shouted in sin. Because sin separates us from God, this kind of shout does not work for the Israelites who were in sin. You remember also that while Israel was on her way to Canaan, one of the most fortified cities they needed to conquer was Jericho. Bible history tells us that Jericho was about the most fortified city of the time.

Nevertheless, God instructed Joshua what to do and as Joshua strictly followed the instructions which the leaders and all Israel obeyed, shout played a prominent role in the inevitable collapse of the wall of Jericho. Josh.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. This was no ordinary shout, but as ordained, instructed and empowered by God. By the leading of that same God that does not change, you are empowered to shout at every wall of Jericho on your way to your Canaan and such walls will collapse.

Prayer/Action.
* Shout out all the enemies of your finances out of your destiny.
* Command the spirit of failure out of your destiny.
* Thou Jericho between me and my Canaan, I shout you down in Jesus' name

Shout of Praise

Text: Isa.12:6
More Lessons: Psa.98:6-9

Some years ago as a student in Kwara State School of Basic Studies. I was facing a particular situation that made me cry for sometimes. Then I decided to go to an open field to shout praises to God for 30 minutes. Friend, that problem did not last for two days before I got the victory. Next time there is no one around to share your problem with, shout praises unto God. I once asked our father Daddy E.A. Adeboye this question, “Why shout halleluyah?” He replied that Satan hates the shout of Halleluyah. Give your enemy what he hates. When you shout praises because negative things are happening around you, Satan is defeated.

One of my excitements in praise is the secret of it that I understand. There are a few things I know about praises and many things it has done in my life. If there is a multipurpose tablet in the Christian world, that tablet is praise. It reverses the enemy's activities. I have not seen anything that is needful for God that praise is not useful for. Praise is useful for all times. Praise is a singular multi-faceted tool that God has given us. The dimension of praise I want to share with you today is SHOUT. The Bible admonished in the Old Testament that the priests be clothed with righteousness and the saints shout for joy. Praise can be manifested in form of shouting. Isa.12: 6: says, “Cry out and shout, thou inhabitant of Zion: for great is the Holy One of Israel n the midst of thee”. In this scripture, there s a command; shout. Why? Because of joy. Shout is an expression that goes with joy. In his scripture, it is so clear that one of the ways we can express the presence of God in our midst is with a shout. God's appearances in most occasions in the Old Testament were heralded with shout. When God comes into a situation, there is a shout. This means you can do a shout of praise to invite God into a situation.

Why do we have a shout when God is involved in a matter? This is because shout is an expression or a reaction that God is present in a matter and the presence of God brings greatness into a matter. David said: “Shout for the presence of God in your midst is great” This is because something extraordinary has entered into your midst. You can either use shout to invite the presence of God into a matter or to celebrate God in a situation. These are the wo things you can do with shout. As you shout praises to God, the Lord will arise and destroy your enemies in Jesus' name.

Prayer/Action.
* Shout praises and drive the spirit of affliction out of your body.
* Loudly command the spirit of fear out of your destiny.
* Declare a holy coordinated shout against disappointment and barrenness of all kinds.
* Declare that your shout of praise will manifest God in your situation.
