A man of God went to preach in a particular place and, as a mark of courtesy, he went to the palace of the chief of the town on arriving there. He greeted the chief and preached the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ to him. The king challenged him by telling him to first assist them to solve a problem they had with their river, without which they would not listen to his message. So, the man of God went to the river and prayed for seven hours. Then, the demons in charge of the river came out and protested that they be left alone, so as to accomplish their mission of spoiling the lives of the inhabitants of that place. A dialogue then ensued between the man of God and the demons. The man asked them whether they got to the location before the river, and they said that the river got there before them. So, the man of God said, “Since it is the river that got here before you, you are strangers in the town and it is written that the strangers shall fade away, and be afraid out of their close places.” That was how he succeeded in chasing them away. What ensued was the raw power of God that accompanied his preaching of the word.
The Bible says that no man can enter into the house of a strongman and spoil his goods, except he first binds the strongman. The strongman is in control of evil powers that have dealt a deadly blow on the black race in particular and that have truncated its developmental process. In other words, the power of the wasters have wasted the destinies and fortunes of many black men. These wasters must be dealt with, for they are responsible for destroying God’s plans for individuals. The verdict of heaven is that no weapon shall prosper against you. Whenever wasters unleash destructive weapons on any believers, you are assured that such weapons cannot prosper against you if you confront it according to God’s directives.
