Text: Matthew 13:24-26
Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan
Exhortation:
A lot of spiritual manipulations take place especially at night between 12midnight and 3am. Night raiders, destiny killers, glory destroyers operate recklessly while men sleep. They are the ones the Bible refers to as the terrorists of the night- Psalm 91:5
Some years ago, a pastor narrated his experience while driving home after a prayer vigil at about 2 am. As he navigated a particular roundabout, he saw a coven of witches meeting around that place. By afternoon, say about 12 hours after, a very ghastly motor accident occurred around that same spot where the ugly witches met at night.
The casual person may call it mere coincidence but to those who have spiritual understanding and are sensitive, nothing happens by chance. The spiritual controls the physical.
In today’s text, our Lord Jesus Christ likened the kingdom of heaven to a man which sowed good seed in his field: But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way. The evil one successfully manipulated the original plan of the farmer who was not vigilant- Matthew 13:24-26.
Many sleep healthy and wake up sick or become programmed to fall sick. Others wake up to experience failure at the edge of success or a miscarriage of allocated blessings.
Ensure you live a life of obedience to God’s word, watch and pray. Spend quality time daily in God’s presence and ensure you regularly ask the Lord to bring the counsel of the heathen to nought, to make the devices of the evil ones of no effect in your life. Pray that the counsel of the Lord stands for ever in your life and that his thoughts be established in your life always.-Psalm 33:10-11.
Prayer Nugget: By the Blood of Jesus Christ, I reclaim back everything the enemy has stolen from me and I possess my possessions in Jesus name.
