Psalm 31:17-18;

18 Let the lying lips be put to silence; which speak grievous things proudly and contemptuously against the righteous.

PROPHETIC WORD FOR TODAY:
ANY POWER THAT HAS BEEN STEALING FROM YOU SHALL BE EXPOSED, IN JESUS’ NAME.
The MESSAGE:
The world needs to experience the raw power of God. We need believers who respond when any challenge is thrown at them.
A certain minister was sent to a town in the West Africa coastal region. When he got there, he decided to visit the chief priest whom he leant was the one causing trouble in the place. The chief priest said, “My dear pastor, I will demonstrate something to you now.” He picked a piece of maize and placed it on his palm and instantly the maize started to grow on his palm. The pastor watched him and was very scared.

The chief them asked him if his God could do that. He did not have an answer and he quickly looked for an excuse and ran back to Nigeria. Later, another minister was posted to the same place. He also went to the chief priest, who began to demonstrate his demonic power again. He put the maize on his palm and it started to grow, as usual. The brother watched. And the priest said, “Can your God do this?” The brother said, “No, my God does not waste time on things like this, but I will show you a little bit of what my God can do. He then opened his mouth and said, “You satanic maize, be roasted, in the name of Jesus.” And the chief priest cried out, “My hand, my hand.” After the maize had been roasted, the fire began to burn his hand. The brother had to pray for his hand to heal. That was a troublemaker.
For Christians to make an impact on the nation or city where they are, they must become Christ-consumed and Holy Spirit-filled like Philip. We must become evangelists with faith to cast out evil spirits and pray for the salvation and healing of others. Don’t stay where you were last year. Some people came to service early before they were blessed with cars. But as soon as they have cars, they come late to church and give all kinds of excuses for their lateness. If it was not the carburettor of their car that was faulty, they would say that it was because their drivers came late. It was as if they were accusing God for their breakthrough.
Where do we go from here? Pompous satanic agents must be silenced. The wicked must be ashamed. And, only the spiritual troublemakers can make that happen. Are you ready for the challenge?
