RISE ABOVE THE SITUATION
“You will live by your sword, and you will serve your brother. But when you decide to break free, you will shake his yoke from your neck.”
Genesis 27:40 NLT
Child of God, I have come to challenge you today to get fed up with that ugly situation in your life. No matter the lies of the devil, God wants you free. God has not given us the spirit of bondage to fear but the spirit of love, power and a sound mind. He expects you to be fruitful in all your ways. He expects that you will overcome whatever stumbling block or hindrance the enemy may have placed on your pathway. He expects you to take the bull by the horn and go to war with the various prophecies that have gone ahead of you. God wants you to rise above the situation and give the devil a black eye.
Let the devil know that you are not going to take no for an answer. He never gives up easily but you have all it takes to bring him to submission. All you need to do is enforce the victory of the cross. God always causes us to triumph (2 Corinthians 2:14 KJV). Therefore, as a child of God, this is the mindset you must have. In Christ, we triumph always. You must be firmly rooted in the truth that no matter what comes your way, victory is assured.
When Jesus rose up He declared that: “…All power is given unto me in heaven and on earth. Go ye therefore…. (Matthew 28:18-19 KJV)” In other words, go in the strength of the authority that has been delegated to you. You have the name of Jesus! You have the blood! You have the Word! You have everything that you need to enforce the defeat of the devil.
I encourage you to arise, become fed up and walk into liberty. I expect to see you at the top because no power is strong enough to withstand you. It is your turn to testify. I will hear your testimony.
