TOPIC: THE LORD IS MY HIDING PLACE MEMORISE :  Thou art my hiding place and my shield: I hope in thy word. Psalm 119:114 READ : Psalms 32:6-7 6 For this shall every one that is godly pray unto thee in a time when thou mayest be found: surely in the floods of great waters they shall not come nigh unto him. 7 Thou art my hiding place; thou shalt preserve me from trouble; thou shalt compass me about with songs of deliverance. Selah. MESSAGE In my early years of being the General Overseer of RCCG, my wife came to me during one of our annual conventions and said, “To feed the people today, we need an extra 5,000 naira.” I asked her, “Darling, when do you need the money? Today or now?” She asked, “What’s the difference?” I then told her that there is a lot of difference between today and now. She then replied, “We need the money today.” I told her, “In that case, you can go. When I have the money, I will give it to you.” At the time she came, I didn’t have any money with me, but I knew ...

TOPIC:  POWER OVER DARK FORCES

MEMORISE:  
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

READ: Mark 16:17 -18

17 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;

18 They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.

MESSAGE 
Every believer is a potential nuclear power against the kingdom of darkness. Just one word from you backed by the name of Jesus can scatter any satanic gathering. If you are a child of God, you may look ordinary on the outside, but you carry great power.

I remember when l decided to go back to my home town after running for thirteen years because of witches and wizards there said they would have me for breakfast. I went to visit my family member and told the fellow that l was going home because 

I now had the power over the dark forces of the enemy. He looked at me and said "Dejare, you don't look different. You look the same and now you are saying that you have one super power". I said, "When you see an electric wire with electricity flowing through it and you see another one without electricity, can you tell the difference? The only way you will know that there is power in one is when you touch it and the moment you touch the one with power, you are gone".

You carry power my brethren, don't let any force of darkness scare you. As long as you are fully submitted to the authority of the Most High God, you are above principalities and powers. James 4:7 says "Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you". In order words, if you are not submissive to God and you resist the devil, he will not run away from you. If you don't believe me, ask the seven sons of Sceva. We read about them in Acts 19:15-16:
And the evil spirit answered and said, Jesus l know, and Paul I know; who are ye? And the man in whom the evil spirit was leaped on them, and overcame them, and prevailed against them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded.

2 Corinthians 10:6 says further " And having in readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled". Until you are fully obedient and submissive to the Most High God, you cannot exercise your power over demons. Therefore, if you are tired of demons having any influence at all over you, you know what to do.

KEY POINT 
Surrender completely to God; obey His words fully and you will have power over all satanic forces.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Lamentation 4 - Ezekiel 2

AUTHOR: PASTOR E. A ADEBOYE 

HYMN 2: CONQUERORS AND OVERCOMERS NOW WE ARE
1 Conquerors and overcomers now are we,
Thro’ the precious blood of Christ we’ve victory,
If the Lord be for us, we can never fail;
Nothing ‘gainst his mighty pow’r can e’er prevail.

Refrain:
Conquerors are we, thro’ the blood, thro’ the blood;
God will give us victory, thro’ the blood, thro’ the blood,
Thro’ the Lamb for sinners slain,
Yet who lives and reigns again,
More than conquerors are we,
More than conquerors are we.

2 In the name of Israel’s God we’ll onward press,
Overcoming sin and all unrighteousness;
Not to us, but unto him the praise shall be,
For salvation and for blood-bought victory. [Refrain]

3 Unto him that overcometh shall be giv’n
Here to eat of hidden manna sent from heav’n;
Over yonder he the victor’s palm shall bear,
And a robe of white, and golden crown shall wear. [Refrain
