TOPIC: Desperate Hunters
FIRE SCRIPTURE-: Mark 6:24-29
MEMORY VERSE: “Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.”- Luke 10:19
The MESSAGE:
A hunter is a person who chases and kills wild animals for food or pleasure. The weapon used by humans are usually deadly, and they include machetes, guns, arrows, etc. For physical hunters, their targets are animals, but for spiritual hunters, their targets are human beings, especially the children of God. This is because their master, the devil, is our enemy who is determined to destroy the glorious destiny we carry. A good example of their activities is captured in the Fire Scripture. This was recorded in the Bible for us to know that these kind of satanic activities are happening in the spiritual realm. The spiritual hunters are desperate; they see human beings as spiritual animals and Christians as their biggest targets. In Matthew 2:13-16, baby Jesus was desperately hunted for and so many male children were killed as a result of the enemy’s desperation to terminate His destiny.
Beloved, their weapons are spiritual and powerful and in many cases their targets are the heads, the blood, the bones, and organs of their victims. They are in desperate pursuit because they do not want these people to fulfil their destinies and to also depopulate the kingdom of hell. The number of captors they have and the number of victims they have succeeded in destroying determine their promotion in their evil kingdom. Because they do not want their victims to fulfil their destinies, they hunt and kill people’s helpers and children in the womb just to get God angry. They are wild and reckless because in their creed, promotion only comes by the extent of their desperation and wickedness. Their assignment is a “do or die” affair. That is, they work with the spirit of “make sure” and they do not want to report failure to the devil.
So many Christians have fallen victim and we should not be ignorant of this. We have heard reports of how a husband and his wife were driving carefully in their car within town and suddenly, an oncoming vehicle collided with their car. All people in the vehicles lost their lives. We have also heard of bomb blasts that killed several people in some of our cities. How about reports of people complaining of pain in the head or leg, or neck and before getting to the hospital, they died. We have heard of some avoidable air plane crashes that took place because the passengers were targets of these desperate hunters. Why not get angry in your spirit so as to attack them before they hunt you down. If you have seen them pursuing you in the dreams, it is time to reverse the situation around and turn the battle against them and utterly destroy them. Remember this Scripture: “Behold, I give unto you power to thread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.” You are well equipped to destroy them and YOUR TIME IS NOW.
MOTIVATIONAL QUOTE:
NO MATTER HOW TOUGH YOUR ENEMIES MAY BE, THEIR STRENGTH CAN NEVER BE COMPARED TO THE VENGEANCE OF GOD.
PROPHETIC WORD:
From today, you shall receive power to turn against your pursuers and destroy them.
PRAYER POINTS:
MORNING
1. Carelessness in my life assigned to hand me over to the devil, die, in Jesus’ name.
2. Every weakness in my foundation that the enemy wants to use to destroy me, I destroy you, in Jesus’ name.
3. Every power that wants to advertise my obituary at all cost, die now, in Jesus’ name.
EVENING
4. Witchcraft powers, that want to use my life for promotion at all cost, die, in Jesus’ name.
5. Song: “O Lord my God arise, let my pursuer flee, into desert today, let my pursuer flee”, in Jesus’ name.
6. Physical and spiritual hunters working with the spirit of “make-sure”, hunting for my life, you are a liar, die, in Jesus’ name.
7. Sword of the hunters, raised to cut off my head and to shed my blood, not my head, not my blood, therefore, arise, cut off the head of your owners and shed their blood, in Jesus’ name.

Topic: Dumb Sheep, Good Shepherd
Read: Ezekiel 34:7–16, Bible in a Year: Lamentations 1–2; Hebrews 10:1–18
As a shepherd looks after his scattered flock when he is with them, so will I look after my sheep. Ezekiel 34:12
My friend Chad spent a year as a shepherd in Wyoming. “Sheep are so dumb that they’ll only eat what is right in front of them,” he told me. “Even if they’ve eaten all the grass in front of them, they won’t turn to look for a fresh patch—they’ll just start eating dirt!”
We laughed, and I couldn’t help but think about how often the Bible compares humans to sheep. No wonder we need a shepherd! But since sheep are so dumb, not just any shepherd will do. Sheep need a shepherd who cares about them. When the prophet Ezekiel wrote to God’s people in exile, captives in Babylon, he compared them to sheep led by bad shepherds. Instead of caring for the flock, Israel’s leaders had exploited them, profiting from them (v. 3) and then leaving them for the wild animals to devour (v. 5).
But they were not without hope. God, the Good Shepherd, promised to rescue them from the leaders who exploited them. He promised to bring them home, put them in lush pastures, and give them rest. He would heal the injured and go after the lost (vv. 11–16). He would banish wild animals, so that His flock would be safe (v. 28).
Members of God’s flock are in need of tender care and direction. How blessed we are to have a Shepherd who is always leading us to green pastures! (v.14).

Am I listening for the voice of my Shepherd?

Topic: Permanence of God’s Law
Text: Exodus 21:12-25 (KJV)
Key Verse: “Eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot, Burning for burning, wound for wound, stripe for stripe“ (Exodus 21:24,25).
MESSAGE:
Jesus teaches on retaliation in Matthew 5:38-39. He states, “Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth: But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on the right cheek, turn to him the other also.” This was not a wanton repudiation of the law, but masterful review to moderate interpersonal relationships amongst brethren.
In our text, we read of the Mosaic laws and punishment pertaining to fighting, murder, sales of human beings and miscarriage caused by another. It concludes in verses 24,25, “Eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot, burning for burning, wound for wound, stripe for stripe.”
The Lord’s authority confirms His message of the Scripture. God does not change, neither does His word or will. The moral laws are still binding on us. Jesus emphasised finality of the word of God: “Think not that I am come to destroy the law or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.” The Law and the prophets refer to the Old Testament. The first five books of the Bible are referred to as the Law. The judicial law is the penalty for breaking the laws of not loving God and man, which will lead the offender to make a sacrifice or be punished.
Jesus came to fulfil the law and not to destroy it. Therefore, all believers must obey these laws. Do to others as you want them to do unto you. How long do you want people to love and accept you? Do so to them. In summary, the laws talk about love for God and neighbour. React to your neighbour in a way that their dignity is not taken away. You cannot overlook the law in your dealings and journey to eternity. The laws are given to us and would be used to judge us.
Thought For The Day: God’s word and judgment abideth forever.

TOPIC: STAKE YOUR CLAIM
Praise ye the Lord. Blessed is the man that feareth the Lord, that delighteth greatly in his commandments…. Wealth and riches shall be in his house: and his righteousness endureth for ever. – Psalm 112:1, 3
I’ll never forget the time Gloria discovered that scripture. We didn’t have any money at the time, and the walls in our house were as bare as they could be. But she was ready to decorate. So she took that promise, “Wealth and riches shall be in his house” and laid claim to it by faith.
Suddenly, everywhere we went, someone was giving us a painting or some other little treasure for our house.
Unfortunately, most believers aren’t as quick to believe God for that kind of thing as Gloria was. Some even claim God doesn’t promise us New Testament believers physical prosperity, just spiritual. But the truth is, you can’t separate the two. That’s why Jesus says, “If you’ll seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, then all these [material] things will be added to you.” He knows the spiritual realm and the material realm are connected.
The physical world cannot operate independently from the spiritual world. What happens in one is simply a reflection of what happens in the other.
Obviously, your spiritual standing profoundly affects your financial standing. That’s why, when you get hold of the gospel and begin to prosper spiritually, you can begin to prosper physically and materially as well.
Don’t let anyone talk you out of God’s promises of prosperity. You don’t have to choose between financial and spiritual prosperity. Both belong to you. Lay claim to them by faith. As a born-again child of God, dare to reach out and receive the riches that belong to you!

Topic: The “Old Man” Is Dead
Mark 14:41 “And he cometh the third time, and saith unto them, Sleep on now, and take your rest: it is enough, the hour is come; behold, the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.“
It is not our individual acts of sin that make us a sinner. It is our sin nature that makes us commit individual acts of sin. Adam’s one sin produced a sin nature in all men that in turn, caused each person to commit individual acts of sin. Jesus not only dealt with the original sin that contaminated the human race, but He also dealt with each individual act of sin.
Anyone who is trying to obtain righteousness through their actions is totally missing the point. Believers are made righteous through faith in Christ, independent of their actions. It’s the same way that everyone was made a sinner: through Adam’s one sin, not through our individual sins.
At salvation, our old man (Rom. 6:6) or sin nature died, but the tendency to sin remains in the thoughts and emotions that the old man left behind. No longer does the Christian have a sin nature that compels him to sin, but he must simply deal with renewing his mind.
Sin ruled like a king through condemnation to bring death upon everyone.
Condemnation is like the general of sin that enforces its power. Likewise, God’s grace now rules like a king through righteousness to bring all who are in Christ into eternal life. Righteousness is the general of grace who defends us against all the wiles of the devil.
Remove guilt or condemnation and sin loses its strength to rule (1 Cor. 15:56). Remove the knowledge of righteousness by faith, and grace loses its power to release eternal life into our daily lives.

Topic: Heart Trouble
I beg you to keep away from the evil pleasures of this world . . . — 1 Peter 2:11 (TLB)
We all know there is no such thing as absolute freedom. We cannot drive down the street at 100 miles an hour. You can’t swing your fist at me, because your freedom stops at the end of my nose. We can say that we want freedom to publish pornography, to push harmful drugs, to have unrestricted sex, to lie, to cheat; but if we continue with that kind of permissive freedom, we shall destroy ourselves.
Man can remain free only so long as he has the moral power to restrain his appetites. Basically, our problem is heart trouble. Our hearts need to be changed … peace will never come until we have changed human nature, until people begin loving each other instead of hating each other.
Prayer for the day: I need Your guidelines in my life, Lord. Loving You frees me from the bondage of my carnal appetite.
