Topic: EXPOSING DEMONIC OPERATIONS III

Memory Verse: Philippians 3:14 – I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. Philippians 3:14
Bible Reading: John 5:1-11

Message: One other way by which demons operate is what is called suppression. Suppression is when the fellow being tormented is already down and the enemy is making sure he doesn’t rise.

The man at the pool of Bethesda was beside it, hoping to get his healing. Every year, he saw people get healed, yet he remained on the same spot. There are people who have been on the same spot for several years spiritually – in their careers, financially and so on. That suppression is over now, in Jesus’ name.

Many people take it lightly when they have been on the same spot for years. They don’t realise that they are giving an opportunity to demons to suppress them. The day the veil is removed from their eyes and they fight back, then they will move forward. You will move forward in Jesus’ name. The man at the pool of Bethesda was in front of the Lord Jesus Christ who could heal him, yet he didn’t ask for healing. I decree that the Lord will move you forward Himself today. You will begin to soar high, in Jesus’ name.

When I was studying for my Masters of Science at the University of Lagos, there was a man there who was an assistant lecturer. After completing my studies, I became a staff of the University, obtained my Ph.D. and got promoted to a higher level than this man. That man’s experience is a classic case of suppression.

The solution to suppression is in God’s anointing. Isaiah 10:27 says that anointing will break the yoke that the devil puts on a person to limit his movement. The man at the pool of Bethesda stayed there because he wanted to contact the anointing that flowed there once a year. Thank God he met the anointed One Himself and that day, the yoke was broken.

In Acts 3:2-11, on the day the man at the Beautiful Gate came in contact with the anointing, he began “walking and leaping and praising God”. Blind Bartimaeus had been in the same spot for many years too but screamed at the top of his voice for Jesus to have mercy on him. He did not stop until the Lord had mercy on Him and broke the yoke of the devil in his life.

Hymn: Onward Christian Soldiers
Points: Cry to God for mercy and ask Him to break the yoke of stagnation in your life.
Bible in one year: Zepheniah 1, Haggai 1, Haggai 2

Title: Onward, Christian Soldiers!.
Chorus: Onward, Christian soldiers!
Marching as to war,
Looking unto Jesus,
Who is gone before..

  1. Onward, Christian soldiers!

Marching as to war,
Looking unto Jesus,
Who is gone before;
Christ, the Royal Master,
Leads against the foe;
Forward into battle,
See His banners go.

  2. At the name of Jesus 

Satan’s host doth Ilee;
On then, Christian soldiers
On to victory!
Hell’s foundations quiver
At the shout of praise:
Brothers, lift your voices,
Loud your anthems raise.

  3. Like a mighty army 

Moves the Church of God:
Brothers, we are treading
Where the saints have trod.
We are not divided,
All one body we
One in hope and doctrine,
One in charity.

  4. Crowns and thrones may perish

Kingdoms rise and wane;
But the Church of Jesus
Constant will remain:
Gates of hell can never
‘Gainst that church prevail;
We have Christ’s own promise-
And that cannot fail.

  5. Onward then, ye people, 

Join our happy throng;
Blend with ours your voices
In the triumph song:
“Glory, praise and honour,
Unto Christ the King”, –
This, through countless ages,
Men and angels sing.
