TOPIC: GREATER IS THE END MEMORISE : Though thy beginning was small, yet thy latter end should greatly increase. - Job 8:7 READ : Ecclesiastes 7:8 8 Better is the end of a thing than the beginning thereof: and the patient in spirit is better than the proud in spirit. MESSAGE In life, the end of anything must be given more attention than its beginning. I am the son of a farmer who was so poor that poor people called him poor. For the first 18 years of my life, I didn’t own any shoes, but God has transformed me into someone who is celebrated all over the world today. Child of God, what is essential in life is not how your life began, but how it progresses and ultimately ends. No matter how rough your past may have been, you must forge ahead and not allow it to weigh you down. If you were a terrible sinner, for instance, you must note that you are now born again, and you must not think that God cannot use you like He is using others. Your former nature is gone; you are born again, and you...

TOPIC:  DEALING WITH DEMON POSSESSED PEOPLE

MEMORISE:  
And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel. Hebrews 12:24

READ: Revelation 12:11 

11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.

MESSAGE
Not everybody you see walking around is normal. Many are possessed by demons. Some people are addicted to fornication, some are obsessed with material things, some spend time in places where demons operate, like nightclubs and so on. Such people are very likely to be demon-possessed. There are ways in which you can know if someone is demon-possessed. However, the best way to ascertain whether someone is demon-possessed is by the gift of discerning of spirits. In any case, if you suspect that somebody is demon-possessed and you have to do anything with the fellow, then you need to cover yourself in the blood of Jesus always.

The blood of Jesus marks you as untouchable to forces of darkness. By covering yourself in the blood of Jesus, you are affirming that you belong to Him and therefore, demons should stay away from you. This can also go for your property. You can cover all your possessions with the blood of Jesus and then tell the devil not to go near them. If for example, you have a staff who you suspect is demon-possessed and the fellow has refused to surrender his/her life to Christ, in order to ensure that demons don't have any influence over your business, then you must always plead the blood of Jesus over it.

In Exodus 12:13, God told the Israelites:

And the blood shall be to you a token upon the houses where ye are: and when l see the blood, l will pass over you, and the plague shall not be upon you to destroy you, when l smite the land of Egypt.

Whatever is covered in the blood of Jesus is too hot for demons to touch. Cover everything connected to you -'including your children, with the blood of Jesus. You don't know the kind of friends they will meet and play with in school or even the kind of teacher that would be teaching them.

PRAYER POINT
I cover myself, my loved ones and all that concerns me with the blood of Jesus. 

BIBILE IN ONE YEAR:  Luke 11-12
