BINDING AND REBUKING THE SPIRIT OF SUICIDE

"12 And all the devils besought him, saying, Send us into the swine, that we may enter into them.

13 And forthwith Jesus gave them leave. And the unclean spirits went out, and entered into the swine: and the herd ran violently down a steep place into the sea, (they were about two thousand;) and were choked in the sea."

[Image Credit: Nelson Peter Jeremiah]

The Bible says, "The thief only comes but to steal, kill and destroy" but that He (Jesus) came that we might have life and have it abundantly. That is bad news versus good news. Bad news because the thief (the One who steals by stealth) which is the devil comes to destroy. Good news because Jesus (the author and giver of life) comes to give us life and gives us abundantly. We are thankful because the life giving act of Jesus Christ counteracts the destructive works of the devil. The Bible says, "For this reason the son of God was manifested that He might destroy the works of the devil" (I John 3:8).

It is the devil who collects and deprives you of life (and enjoyment of good life) fully. Jesus does the opposite. He yielded His life for us to have eternal life and then to enjoy the shepherded and contented life on earth as we submit to go out with Him to find pastures. Only Jesus makes sacrifices for us. The devil is too selfish to do the same.

There's nowhere where Jesus would be and tolerate the works of the devil. He destroys it. He wipes it all clean. We should take a cue from Him also since a disciple cannot be greater than his master but rather do the work that he does. Never pally with the devil or his activities. I was once in a church for over a year where I ministered alongside an anointed man of God but the elders in that local church would not want deliverance or the casting out of demons to be done. They esteemed their ego and preferred respect for themselves than being freed. They said, "they were being exposed and embarrassed even as people fell, screamed, shivered, coughed, shook, ran helter skelter, confessed and got their deliverance." They persecuted that work until it was hindered and unfortunately stopped.

How can you preserve self respect or reputation against being freed? When a demon is cast out of people and those manifestations follow which may be embarrassing (because it could be strange and intimidating), it doesn't mean the minister intends to cause you shame. Rather, it's a way for that demon to scare people away from receiving their deliverance by showing them the embarrassing sides especially when he doesn't want to release his host. At times, a demon could tear people on the ground or make them foam in the mouth. Many manifestations there be but irrespective of the manifestation or the kind of demon, Christ's authority which you have been delegated could get the work done.

On that note, let's take a leap into seeing the spirit of suicide that has gone into town in recent times with team spirits of depression, nothingness and hopelessness to push people off the cliff of life into death.

When Jesus casts out these demons that called themselves Legion, they begged and were given leave into the swine that was fed by the water. As they rushed into these pigs, they possessed and moved them in a rush into drowning themselves in the sea. That was absurd!

These were pigs who were in their normal senses a few seconds ago. They never thought of dying or committing suicide but as soon as these violent demons who had suffered that mad man of Gadarenes got released from his own inside, they unleashed their violence in their new hosts. They drove a multitude of living things (about 2,000) to death at a time.

It was a shock and one of the great losses recorded in the Bible. It is now you can understand afresh what that mad man of Gadarenes had suffered. What he contained that controlled his behavior into doing himself harm were those demons that led numerous swines into committing suicide. They just immediately had a new orientation and a new mind of their own. They immediately became insane like that mad man. Being unable to pedal down and contain that insanity like the mad man of Gadarenes did (since he was a human host I guess), they drowned and perished immediately.

It's not ordinary to be driven to the edge of hopelessness where one begins to entertain thoughts to take his own life. If no life is precious to one, yours should be. But even when that is compromised, then we should suspect the devil is at work. On this note, we bind every spirit of insanity, violence, misbehaviour (doing of harm to oneself by indulging in certain acts and not perceiving it as harmful) and consequently suicide. We bind and cast you out of your hosts in Jesus name. Rather, let the Spirit of sound mind and of faith take over. May victims of the devil's harassment be henceforth well clothed, seated coolly and be gathered together to even take instructions from Him as disciple's henceforth.

PRAYER/CONFESSION: I bind the devil and cast him out wherever he has had a foothold in my life.

OBEDIENCE!

Mark 5:6, KJV

"But when he saw Jesus afar off, he ran and worshipped him."

Did you not marvel at this verse above? Let me give you a background story on the event being told there.

Jesus takes a ship, crosses to the region of the Gadarenes. As soon as he steps out of the ship, a mad man that could not be tamed immediately runs towards him, bowing to Him. Isn't that strange considering the fact that Jesus didn't say or make any prayer to command such an adhering act?

Brethren, may I tell you something? Just live the Christian life. As you live and grow in the Christian life, you'll find yourself becoming like Christ and certain consequences will naturally follow you. There will be many things that you won't have to pray for before they happen. Christ's life in you and your growth in Christ will create them. They will just happen without you having consciously triggered a thing. Rather, they'll come from having had the life and from living the life.

What we must all know is that the born again man or woman isn't ordinary. He is set high above principalities and powers (Eph.1:20-22, 2:6). If that be, he or she can't but have the obedience of both the evil and even natural forces of the world. This demon possessed man answered to Jesus. Same way, Satan and his demons will become answerable to you. Wherever you step into, they will immediately come around to report themselves to you first of all. That act depicts how fearful they have become and how honourable you are - wrapped in Christ's righteousness. A demon shouldn't be comfortable where you are. Your mere presence should expose it as Jesus' did.

Certain verses in the Psalms speak of your authority in Christ Jesus and how it puts devils to flight, making them answerable to you.

Psalms 18:44-45, KJV

"44 As soon as they hear of me, they shall obey me: the strangers shall submit themselves unto me.

45 The strangers shall fade away, and be afraid out of their close places."

That's exactly how commanding Jesus' presence was at arrival to this part of the sea. Our verse says, "And when he was come out of the ship, immediately there met him out of the tombs a man with an unclean spirit" (Mark 5:2).

It was immediately. It was as if that demon had received a notice that a greater than he had arrived. In fact, that was what happened. So, it went immediately to do obeisance and worship. He went immediately to acknowledge Jesus as Lord and as head of all principalities and powers.

Mark 5:6, KJV

"But when he saw Jesus afar off, he ran and worshipped Him."

If this demon knew Jesus to worship Him, I'll say if you're born again and practicing daily Christianity, the devil knows you too to submit to. As a matter of fact, that gives you authority to dispel them because that's exactly what Jesus eventually does to that demon. He dispelled him (them) from the host.

Herein is that Psalm fulfilled that, "As soon as they hear of me, they shall obey me: the strangers shall submit themselves unto me."

Why will this happen? For short, because of the presence of God (life of God) in you. Only He that is of God can have such submission and command such obedience. When some seven sons of Sceva wanted to prove this to reversal without Christ's life, they received shocking dealings because they were mastered by those demons instead of having mastery over them and commanding their obedience (Acts 19:13-16).

In the spirit realm, demons know you to submit to if you are born of Christ. Believe and exercise your authority over them. Cast them out!

PRAYER/CONFESSION: Lord, I am your arm and rod on the earth to continue the ministry of Jesus. I will preach the gospel, heal the sick, cast out demons and raise the dead. I for short will do the greater work.

WHEN I HAD CONSIDERED IT IN THE MORNING LIGHT - The Despiser's Series 004

I Kings 3:21, KJV

"And when I rose in the morning to give my child suck, behold, it was dead: but when I had considered it in the morning, behold, it was not my son, which I did bear."

Light exposes! There's nothing hidden that'll not be exposed Jesus said. That is truthful but exposure of truth could be delayed especially when there's no light at hand to reveal that which is hidden. Why people don't have solutions on a particular matter will therefore be because there was no entrance of light afforded them on the matter.

This woman just didn't make her discovery. Her discovery of the truth and the separation of that from the manipulation in which she was shrouded in the night earlier was ended because of her exposure of the matter to light.

Ephesians 5:13, KJV

"But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light: for whatsoever doth make manifest is light."

She was almost accepting the manipulation and lie of the devil. She could have agreed to it naively that it was her son who was dead but she took one last step as she was afforded. When the morning came, she tried the situation and proved it in the morning light again.

"...but when I had considered it in the morning, behold it was not my son, which I did bear."

Did you see where her salvation came from? It came from letting light into the matter. It came from being patient enough to subject the matter at hand to a closer investigation under the morning light. She could have been confused and unsure in the dark but light has one nature, it exposes what is hidden. The truth had to come out upon collision with the light. That's why she tested the dead child and thrust him to the light. She was hopeful that the daylight would give her the opportunity to see clearly and mark for herself what is real or false. Every hypocrisy camouflaging as your reality collapses at the entrance of light. Fortunately for her, the lies were exposed because she could see by specific and distinguishing features that the dead child was not her son - the one she had given birth to.

You too, let that matter come under closer scrutiny. Don't do anything in darkness. As a matter of fact, you can't have correct disclosures. Put the matter under closer inspection. You may not be able to know the trueness of that knotty problem at hand unless you have considered it to and fro. When you do, understanding will sip in and you'll decipher the truth from the lies.

God is calling us to closer inspection of things. Just don't collect things or agree to it without probing to hold unto that which is truth. If you do, you'll collect second hand goods even when your bargain is grade A. Prove things by closer scrutiny. The Bible says in I Thessalonians 5:21, "Prove all things; hold fast that which is good." You can't know the truth or what is truthful if you haven't considered it under the careful microscopic lens. When you do, only then will you see the situation for what it is. What is knotty at hand in your life? May inflow of light exposes its real and truthful nature. May nothing camouflage to deceive you.

PRAYER: Lord, I bring my life and operations under the light of your governance. I expose every work of the devil in my life. Not one shall find a comfortable suite.

JUST RISING UP AND GOING YOUR WAY - The Despiser Series 003

Genesis 25:34, KJV

"Then Jacob gave Esau bread and pottage of lentiles; and he did eat and drink, and rose up, and went his way: thus Esau despised his birthright."

Rising up and going your way without detecting you have entered a bad deal or arrangement is a serious danger. The Bible uses that language of "rising and going on" because Esau had no awareness that he had committed a foul and sold his future. He never knew the weight of his action. So, he acted like he would on ordinary days. After the sealing of the agreement to barter his birthright for porridge, he rises and goes on - without a second thought or discovery of his wrong doing. If he had been tipped off by someone or something on the need to reverse the agreement, he probably wouldn't have walked away. However, nothing was discovered. He rather ate, drank, rose up and went his way. No awareness of any transaction having been done. No fear of future consequences at all.

God wants you to be a careful observer. Such a sensitive fellow that nothing bypasses. Esau is a despiser. A despiser doesn't care. They don't do their due diligence. They always push their responsibilities to another - hoping they'll be saved by another hand when God ordains that their seriousness saves them. The attitude of a despiser is to eat and drink and forget the treasury but rather walk away.

Let's look at the Bible. Two prostitutes give birth in the same house. One overlays her child and it dies. Seeing this at midnight while the other sleeps, she exchanges her dead child for the other's living child. Meanwhile, something unexpected happened in the morning. None of us would have thought that would have been possible. How could someone be so observant as to recognize her baby isn't her baby? Babies are very difficult to tell apart at birth especially if weight does not differ and there's no special cut or mark telling them apart. However, this woman is one given to due diligence. Her intelligence and gathering of information amazes me.

I Kings 3:21, KJV

"And when I rose in the morning to give my child suck, behold, it was dead: but when I had considered it in the morning, behold, it was not my son, which I did bear."

This woman has something going on for her. She is a careful observer. She pays attention to details unlike Esau who only signed an agreement, rose and walked away without ever coming to the realization of its sentences. This woman said, "But when I woke up in the morning and had considered the child in the morning light, it was not the son I gave birth to."

That's a fellow you cannot cheat. That's a fellow whose observation and sensitivity skills have been well sharpened. She could detect the works of the devil around her and even against her. Immediately, she arrested it. She said, "I considered it in the morning light and saw this was not my son."

Meaning, she detected she had been robbed. Somebody had exchanged the bad for the good. Nothing went undetected. She was awake and aware unlike Esau who was fed pottage of lentiles, rose up and went his way. This woman refused to go her own way. She refused to agree to a wrongly signed document. She refused to go with a clause and manipulation of the enemy while she slept. At waking up and at morning light, she rather puts what was said to be hers to a test (observation) and finds out they have exchanged "a birthright for a morsel of meat" for her. Immediately, she raised an alarm which at day's end played in her favour when the King, wise Solomon decreed that the living child be given to her (I Kings 3:27).

Brethren, what sort of person are you? Are you this alive in spirit? Are you this careful and observant? Or you just don't mind what happens around you? If you are, a lot of demonic switching and tampering will happen and you'll be left unaware. However, when their manifestations begin to speak in years to come, you'll wonder when they entered. The entry point was years back but because you were too dead to notice, you were sold goods that you didn't pay for. I pray for you, may the alarm bell rise in you whenever the devil - the thief comes around you to steal, kill or destroy. May you see for what it is that the devil is hiding. May his works be clearly exposed. May he not go unnoticed, unarrested or stopped.

PRAYER: Nothing bypasses me. I can see and detect the vibrations of the thief around me. I stop and destroy his works.

EATING, DRINKING AND GOING ONE'S WAY - The Despiser Series 001

Genesis 25:34, KJV

"Then Jacob gave Esau bread and pottage of lentiles; and he did eat and drink, and rose up, and went his way: thus Esau despised his birthright."

May you not lose knowing. May knowing not suddenly fall off from you. When you inspect yourself, may you still find yourself to be aware and awake. A lot there be who have lost knowing. No heart pricking or sensitization towards what they should arrest or mind. Rather, it all looks plain to them. Have you seen waters hiding reptiles like crocodiles from plain sight before? It is always quiet. No rumbling, turning or stirring. Everything always looks quiet until you near it, get comfortable by it and receive a surge/attack from the ferocious animal.

That's why you must be with the special equipping - the equipping to know. Look at today's verse. It says something worthy of notice but which was also troubling.

Genesis 25:34, KJV

"Then Jacob gave Esau bread and pottage of lentiles; and he did eat and drink, and rose up, and went his way: thus Esau despised his birthright."

Don't think it was a favour Jacob just did Esau. To Esau, it might look that way but it is beyond just the administering of bread and pottage to one's brother. It comes at a cost. It looked plain but it was a time bomb hidden from plain sight.

The Bible says, "Esau ate, drank and rose up and went his way..." Meaning, at that time when Esau could have made a life changing observation, he did not. Rather, he only "ate, drank, rose up and went his way." May you cry when you could be heard! May you charm the snake when there's still a remedy. What that place is saying is that Esau is careless. He couldn't make any observation though his future was being sold. Even after the eating when he observed what he had done, he could have reversed it through another bargain if he insisted. However, he saw no reason for fear or a change. He ate, drank and went his way (without proferring any solution to the problem he had created for himself).

Are you this kind of person? One who eats, drinks, rises up and goes his way without detecting anything went left. If you're this kind of person, you will count a lot of losses in life. The testimony and regret of Esau is what could come on you later on in life. What does the Bible say of him?

Hebrews 12:17, KJV

"For ye know how that afterward, when he would have inherited the blessing, he was rejected: for he found no place of repentance, though he sought it carefully with tears."

It was at this juncture in time the realization of what he did back then hit him. It never hits him when he could turn back immediately and reverse the order (instead of standing up just like that and walking away). That made me pray earlier on for you that even if you make mistakes, it'll be within the corrected boundaries. Esau came at the wrong time wanting to correct the deeds of probably yesteryears. The Bible says, "He sought it with tears but found no place of repentance..."

It means the door was shut against him. It means the second chance that he could take became expired. What a thing! I pray for you, "May you be on time!" May you strike the iron while it is hot. May you make hay while the sun shines. May you speak when it'll be valuable and may you run when it is needful. May your actions fall into their right seasons. May they be timed to happen, finding their right moments.

PRAYER: Lord, awaken my spirit man. Let me be awake and aware. I refuse to be cheated successfully. Tip me off Holy Spirit. May I take heed when it concerns my life and future.

YEARNING FOR THE BIRTH OF GOD'S KINGDOM IN NEW AND EXTINGUISHED QUARTERS

If you're abroad and you're a Christian, especially in Europe and you're missing the many Christian programs that fed your spirit and soul while in the country (in Nigeria for instance), don't mourn any longer.

God is saying, "I want to use you to start the same where you are."

God can use you as an organizer of such programs that'll begin to refresh men.

These are seasoned programs that could be once a month or once in three months. It could take place in your living room for a start.

You may say I don't know what to preach. I don't have what to preach.

You, set up the stage and gather people. As God will minister to you, invite men of God who have God's Word with them for the people. Not men looking for food to eat and people to con.

We know ministers who are searching for food to eat by the kinds of THEMES they often curate for their programs. These never emphasize on New Life, Discipleship, Fruits of the Spirit, Prosperity as God's Provision (not excess or greed) etc.

Even if you don't know what themes to choose for those programs, you can consult with someone like me or any other trusted person you know and trusted with the WORD. I'll take you through the Bible even as we pray together and God will find us WORD for the season and the moment that people need to hear.

Stop mourning and saying, "This place (Europe, Canada, UK or Russia etc) are dry. If you cannot find what you're looking for, God wants to trust you with starting one.

Like I said, you don't have to be the preacher at the beginning. You can be the organizer and gatherer until you feel ready and have Words from God. That's the ministry of "one plants, the other waters but God gives the increase."

God is bringing to me the life of Demos Shakarian, founder of Full Gospel Business Men's Fellowship that's in many countries today.

Guess what?

He grew to a place where he asked the Lord, "what's my ministry?" The Lord said, "Your ministry is of helps." So, he began to use his money to organize programs and invite known ministers of God. He was not the one preaching but was bringing the gospel to people using the platform God organized through him.

Then as he progresses in that, do you know he got to a place where he began to move in the prophetic. Then, he himself had breakthroughs into greater waters of God's dimension.

That seems the pattern God is bringing my way for you.

May God speak to one and all!

Olusola ADEJUMO,

M'Wings.

BECAUSE MAN GOES TO HIS LONG HOME - I Still Have Pleasure Series 005

Ecclesiastes 12:5, KJV

"Also when they shall be afraid of that which is high, and fears shall be in the way, and the almond tree shall flourish, and the grasshopper shall be a burden, and desire shall fail: because man goeth to his long home, and the mourners go about the streets:"

Naturally and because man goes to his long home - the grave, he successively begins to die. As we mark each birthday, we actually take a step closer to death. Yet, we celebrate it! What an irony. As a man ages, certain potencies, strength and effectualness of his begin to depreciate. He begins to lose it one by one. It is to one big end - because he goes or is being prepared for his long home.

What amazes us in nature is that we can never remain young as we are today. We will age. That growth however is into depreciation. When the Bible says, "Remember now thy Creator in the days of your youth while the evil days come not nor the years when you'll say you have no pleasure in them", it was referencing old age and the need to quickly serve God when you can. As a man grows on and on, he loses desires in life and what it has to offer. Have you seen a ninety year old man whose dream is still to conquer the world? Have you seen an eighty five year old woman who's not content with daily bread but has her eyes up in the sky looking to make new marks for herself?

All those new and great works rarely happen for them at such age. As a matter of fact, they have come to be quieten at heart to take the back stage. If it is retirement, they retired long ago in their sixties. If it is child bearing, they ended that decades ago. Those they now receive are grand or great grand children being born on their knees. At such times, they are off the scene but in the secret of the home waiting for their Lord to come and for their work to follow them.

It humbles me that we will naturally depreciate bodily. The senses that were once active would depreciate. Vulnerability to cold and risk of sicknesses may be higher. Yet, all for one reason - because man goes to his long home.

It is a natural law. That is why you cannot refuse to die. Physically, everyone will die. That's because God has put a law in nature to wind us down physically until our body can no longer carry our spirit and soul again. It is at this young age you see it as an abomination to die. Once you reach a great age, death will be a reward to you. You will await when it will come to free you into your freedom and inheritance especially if you're born again.

But the good news is that while you wait for your long home, the dew of youthfulness miraculously can still rest on you. You can still escape from the frailties of many. Abraham and Sarah escaped from such as we saw in yesterday's devotional. Sarah asked, "Shall I still have pleasure or sexual desire for sex?" (Gen.18:12) but God fixed it. A ninety year old woman had her sexual urge woken up. And this is where the Word of God finds fulfilment that "in your old age, you shall still bear fruits" (Psalm 92:14).

That "you will still bring forth fruits" shows it should have been impossible except by the Lord's doing. Because of your intimacy with God however, you'll receive a renewal of mind and strength from Him to be resharpened and reorganized. Sarah had lost her sexual interest but what should we say to her getting it back? That's why you'll occasionally hear that one aged man still does something deserving of applause. That would raise questions, "even at that age?" Yes, even at that age. Even in your old age, you shall still bring forth fruits. As you wait for your long home, you shall still be productive - useful in counselling couples, raising children, writing books, speaking in seminars and being sought nationally. You won't just collapse and die. You'll use yourself fully.

PRAYER: Even at my old age, I shall bring forth fruits. I receive a bracing and renewal of mind and physical strength from God. His mind still sips into mine.
