DIVINE KNOWLEDGE AS A WEAPON
Memorise
Surely
the Lord GOD will do nothing; but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the
prophets. Amos 3:7
Read
2nd
Kings 6:8-13,
8 Then
the king of Syria warred against Israel, and took counsel with his servants,
saying, in such and such a place shall be my camp.
9 And
the man of God sent unto the king of Israel, saying, Beware that thou pass not
such a place; for thither the Syrians are come down.
10 And
the king of Israel sent to the place which the man of God told him and warned
him of, and saved himself there, not once nor twice.
11 Therefore the heart of the king of Syria was
sore troubled for this thing; and he called his servants, and said unto them,
Will ye not shew me which of us is for the king of Israel?
12 And
one of his servants said, none, my lord, O king: but Elisha, the prophet that
is in Israel, telleth the king of Israel the words that thou speakest in thy
bedchamber.
13 And
he said, Go and spy where he is, that I may send and fetch him. And it was told
him, saying, Behold, he is in Dothan.
KJV
MESSAGE
There is power in the glorious presence of
God where many wonderful things take place, including having access to great
revelations and instructions which makes living pleasant. God is supreme and He
is the power behind all that happens in the deep and secret places. God will
not do anything without informing His prophets. The prophet of God is a
messenger of the Most-High God. From the passage for today, we can see that
over and over again, the Syrian aggression against the children of Israel kept leading
to the defeat of the Syrian army. It reoccurred to a point in which the King of
Syria knew there was a problem somewhere, he came to the conclusion that there
must be a traitor somewhere who was revealing all their military tactics to the
Israelites. In the long run, they discovered that there was an unseen prophet
in the background who was counselling the King of Israel from time to time
about the plots of the Syrian army. I
decree into your life; all the weapons of the enemy against you shall be exposed
in Jesus’ name. There is nothing as great as hearing from God because it helps
you avoid many great mistakes in life, and helps you to do great things for God
in life. When you are in partnership with God, He will always speak to you
concerning things to come before they eventually happen. You will have access
to certain classified information and this will help you to maintain your stand
against all odds. Knowledge is an important tool and is key to the life of a
believer. This is what separated Daniel in the kingdom of Babylon and he became
a reference point for different kings in different situations. Daniel had
access to vital information which separated him from the crowd.
When you have access to the knowledge of
God, nothing will trouble you because you are aware of those things beforehand.
Understanding gives you the privilege to know the mind of God. When you don’t
have access to divine knowledge, it can lead to a lot of suffering and
hardship. If you want to have access to this divine knowledge, you must purpose
in your heart not to defile yourself with the lust of the flesh, the lust of
the eye and the pride of life. Those that will have access to information from
God will be people who understand the heartbeat of God.
There
is a God in Heaven that reveals to His children vital information from time to
time, I always tell my children that if they have enough of God’s presence in
their lives, demons will have no power over them, because the activities of the
demons will be revealed and destroyed before they are even executed. Right from
my early years as General Overseer, I had learnt the secret of victory by
spending time in the presence of God, and each time I am in His presence, He
reveals deep things to me about different situations of life. I want to implore
you to decide to spend enough time in His presence, and you will see the devil
fleeing from your life. In His presence there is full disclosure of all the activities
of the devil so that you live your life in constant victory.
Prayer Point
Father, remove
everything hindering me from hearing from you.
