DECODING THE PRAYERS (Part2)
Sing this Song to yourself:
May the lord God bless me real good (2ce)
He brought me here, to bless my life
May the lord God bless me real good.
Today’s message is a continuation of the message (Decoding the prayers) that was published on 17th November, 2014. (Refer to the Blog Archive to Read it)
As we asserted the last time, there are prayers and there are prayers.
There are some sing prayers that can take charge of 2000 prayers.
The Prayer we are studying today is:
My Enemies Shall Die In My Place
There are a lot of misconceptions about this kind of prayers.
Some find it difficult why we pray back to sender prayers.
A lot are ignorant of the spiritual warfare criticized prayers.
For prayers to be answered, it had to be specified
Blind Bathemeus prayed a nonspecific prayer.He said; Jesus, son of David, have mercy on me.
This is a vague prayer.
Jesus had to ask; what is it that you want me to do for you?
Jesus wanted Bathemeus to pray a specific prayer.
There are different kinds of mercy that a blind man can receive.
It could be mercy of cash, food, clothes home and so on.
There are even some blind people that do not want to be healed at all.
Yes! It has happened before.
It was at the Tafawa Balewa Square (TBS); there was a power crusade taking place that day. A lot of sick were being healed that day and a man was at the gate begging for alms. Then an overzealous brother came out and said; How can this kind of wonders be happening inside and you blind man stand here at the gate; He then lay his hands on the blind man and prayed for him. Everyone around were delighted, saying; finally this blind man can now see, praise God.To the amazement of everyone, instead of the man rejoicing, he started to cry, saying; do you know how much I make here at the gate begging? Who will now give money, as I can see? Poor Me.
The Prayer: My Enemies shall die in my Place.
This prayer is based on two legs
It will do you a great benefit, to carefully read each of these scriptures very well.
The First Leg => This is based on the Law of Boomerang.
[Job 4:8] Even as I have seen, they that plow iniquity, and sow wickedness, reap the same.
This supports that the evil people must reap their handy works.
[Psalm 54:5] He shall reward evil unto mine enemies: cut them off in thy truth
That is what the scripture is saying.
[Proverbs 26:27] Whoso diggeth a pit shall fall therein: and he that rolleth a stone, it will return upon him
It its scriptural, this is the stand of scripture.
[Psalm 70:2-3] Let them be ashamed and confounded that seek after my soul: let them be turned backward, and put to confusion, that desire my hurt. Let them be turned back for a reward of their shame that say, Aha, aha.
You can see that it is very clear.
[Psalm 109:17] As he loved cursing, so let it come unto him: as he delighted not in blessing, so let it be far from him.
It was not any human that wrote these words, it was not written by the pastor. It’s God himself.
[Psalm 35:8] Let destruction come upon him at unawares; and let his net that he hath hid catch himself: into that very destruction let him fall.
[Psalm 9:15] The heathen are sunk down in the pit that they made: in the net which they hid is their own foot taken.
[Nehemiah 4:4] Hear, O our God; for we are despised: and turn their reproach upon their own head, and give them for a prey in the land of captivity.
[Rev 13:10] He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints
This is the first leg.
This conviction of God is not for any person to suffer without vindication.
He says;
Touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm. {Psalm 105:15}
This first leg is based on the Law of boomerang
A boomerang is a weapon thrown and if it misses the target, if comes back to the sender.
It is like a sending a Letter without an address; it will Come back to the sender.
You can pray any prayer you wish, But God chooses which prayers to answer.
If we fold our hands, then enemy will deal with us. After a while the same enemy will repent but they would have waste someone’s life.
My life shall not be wasted in Jesus name.
From experience, when weapon of the enemy backfires, it most times causes them to repent.
The Weapon of the enemy against your life shall backfire in Jesus name.
This kind of prayer could save your life one day.
It will do you good to pay attention and understand it.
Illustration story:
A brother was going on a journey; he entered a bus at the car park.
He did know that there was an agent of darkness was in the bus.
This evil man’s whose is an eater of flesh and drinker of blood had an agenda. He will enter the bus, at a particular point in the journey, he will invoke some demons that will tumble the bus; everybody in the bus is supposed to die and he will manage to escape untouched.
He had 3 cars lot of houses, but decided to enter a bus, just because he wanted to drink blood.
Every eater of flesh and drinker of blood assigned against you shall die in the name of Jesus.
When this evil man entered into the bus, a Christian brother also enters. As the bus moved, this brother cleared his throat, prayed; Soaked the bus in the blood; Both the Christians, Muslims and everyone said, amen!
When it got to that point where the bus was supposed to tumble, the bus did not tumble, it passed and moved on. The evil man tried his incantation again, it still didn’t work. The man was shocked, that was his 17th years that entered a bus and it didn’t crash.
The bus got to is destination safely. The man consoled himself that his journey is still far, so this man entered another bus. Coincidentally, the Christian Brother also entered the same bus; he prayed as usual, soaking the bus in the blood of Jesus and everyone said amen, except for the evil man. At the point when the evil man invokes the blood drinking demon, the bus still did not crash.
As you will see, the enemy does not give up easily; when this bus arrived at its destination, this evil man still went for the third bus. Fortunately or unfortunately for the man the Christian Brother also entered into the bus. The cleared his throat to say his usual prayers, all of a sudden this evil man shouted at him saying; this is Nigeria, you cannot come and impose your religion on us. Please pray inside your hearth and let us pray our own. Before the Christian Brother would reply, people inside the bus answered the evil man and said; this is not a crime, anybody can pray, if you also want to pray you can pray now!
They ask the brother to continue his prayer and he said his usual prayer.
The evil man tried his incantation and it still failed. This man was so embarrassed, when they got to their destination the man followed this brother and asked him; who are you? The brother was trying to say; I am Brother Samuel…; the man shouted, not your name, what kind of power do you carry? I tried to crash the bus several times and you prevented it. The brother was not even aware that someone was doing any evil. It was at this point the brother ministered to this evil man and he gave his life to Christ.The Second Leg => This is base on the Law of Substitution.
[Proverbs 11:8] The righteous is delivered out of trouble, and the wicked cometh in his stead.
The Substitute.
An exchange happened because the person is righteous; but it has to happen to someone, therefore, there is an exchange.
The second leg of this prayer is an exchange to deliver, rescue, save the righteous from tragedy and evil.
You might say, ah! This is wicked o! But it is in the Bible; very scriptural.
[Isa 43:4] Since thou wast precious in my sight, thou hast been honorable, and I have loved thee: therefore will I give men for thee, and people for thy life.
God said it, that He will replace men for us, to rescue us, his beloved.
This is the law of substitution.
Some are angry at the fall down and die prayers.
What is the meaning of the fall and die Prayers?
Die may mean:
ü To stop living
ü Lose force
ü Stop within
ü Expire
ü Pass away
ü Collapse
ü Cease
ü Disperse
ü finish
If your car is faulty and your mechanic your engine is dead, it means it is no more functional.
ü To Eradicated
When a school says cultism is eradicated, it means that the activities of cultism cease to exist.
ü To Dissolve
ü Come to end
When someone says, My Poverty died, it means the person cannot be poor again.
My Cancer died, No more cancer.
My Anger died, the person does not get angry again.
ü Cease functional
ü Ending in failure
When you say the Proposal dead, means no one is looking at it again.
God said to Adam, if you eat the fruit, thou shall die !
They ate the fruit and still live 930 years.
It means Spiritual death.
When the bible says; He that loves pleasure is dead while he still liveth {1 Timothy 5:6}; People don’t die, it is a gradual spiritual death.
Death does not necessarily mean that, life pass away
We all know spirit do not die, even a kindergarten will tell you it’s a spirit, and it cannot die.
Spirit does not die
Such Prayers means:
When you stop the spirit from carrying out its functions; it will still continue to work in other people’s life, but in your own life, it is dead.
We do not pray against humans. Any prayer against human being is witchcraft.
What we pray against is:
o Spiritual strongholds o Satanic Powers
o Altars
o Wickedness
o Principalities
Jesus prayed that kind of prayer stylishly.
When he wanted to heal the mad man of Gadara; the demons begged him not to send them to that place, the place of destruction; where they will be useless {Mark 5:1-19}.
We need to realize that this life is a battle.
Life is really war whether we agree to it or not.
The devil himself wants the all world to be ignorant of this. (My people perish, for lack of knowledge).
The Greatest tragedy of man is to be defeated in the battle of life from the cradle to the grave.
So, it is not a matter of letting sleeping dogs lie.
Jesus, himself was not allowing the sleeping dogs lie; in his entire ministry, He was busy destroying the works of the enemy. {1John 3:8}
In battle of life, you either come out as winner or as losers
The Law of substitution comes into play when tragedy has been prepared for child of God. God will replace another in his stead.
That shall be your lot in Jesus Name.
There are several examples in the bible
Example Law of substitution in Bible =>
v Haman took the place of Mordecai that would have died.
v Those who arranged for Daniel to be thrown into the lion’s den, died in his place.
v The fire that was meant to consume Shedrach, Meshach and Abednego was the one that took the life of the people that threw them in.
v The red sea that was an express path for the children of Israel was the one that consume the Egyptians.
v The sword of Goliath that boasted against David was the same one that was used to cut off Goliath’s head.I decree:
Your enemies shall die in your place in the name of Jesus.
Illustration story:
I have this colleague of mine; his wife was coming from outside Lagos. She was traveling in a luxurious bus; at a point, some passengers in the bus were shouting; Driver, stop! We want to ease ourselves. The driver stopped and every came down to ease themselves including this colleague’s wife. By the time she would return to her seat, another woman was seating there. She
It was not up to 5 minutes after the bus took off, a trailer came from nowhere and collided with the luxurious bus. The place the woman to over from colleague’s friend was badly affected. The woman sitting there destroyed beyond recognition and this colleague’s wife came out without a scratch.
That is what is called Divine Substitution.
I decree:
The Law of Divine substitution shall work for you in the name of Jesus.
This same Prayer worked against the spirit of Haman.
The Spirit of Haman should be prayed against.
The spirits of Haman are:
Ø Spirit of Family destructionØ Spirit of Untimely death
Ø Spirit of Terminator
Ø Spirit of Highly connected evil powers
Ø Careers killers
Ø Destiny Aborters
Ø Grave-digging powers
Ø Children killers
You cannot afford to just look at these powers doing their works;
You just pray against them especially when you see the signs.
Don’t deceive yourself by saying; I have not harmed anyone, nobody will harm me.
The enemy is wickedly wicked and badly bad; you don’t have to give them a reason, before they attack.
This prayers allows make claim of the victory Jesus made for you
Launch your prayer force and leave the rest to God.
God chooses which prayers to answer.
