Champions are made from challenges. David was a just a small
underage farm boy until he killed Goliath and in 1 Samuel 18: 7 he was
celebrated…Saul killed his thousands and David his thousands’. Very soon, after
all this, you will be celebrated
There is no one that has great glory without a great story.
No star without a scar. People don’t get to the top by sudden flight, they
climb. ‘For this light affliction, which is but for a moment worketh in us a
far weight of glory…’ 2 Corinthian 4: 17- 18 whatever it is you are confronting
is leading you to glorious end.
Job ended with double portion Job 42: 12; Hannah ended with 5
children after years of tormentous barrenness.
Challenges are a proof of your value. Satan never wastes his
time and resources over people of no or little value. If your glory is not
weighty, your trouble is not necessary.
Challenges are a trust from God on you. Remember, Satan
cannot touch you without seeking permission from God. Job 1: 6- 12; 2: 1-6. God knows you can
handle any test that comes to you 1 Corinthian 10: 13
Why challenges?

·
To proof our love for God…Satan wants destroy it
·
To test the depth of our knowledge of God…Satan want
to derail it
·
To test our understanding of purpose… Satan wants to
derail it

3 things challenges do for us
·
Preserve us from danger
·
Prepare us for the next assignment
·
Promote us to the next level
Whatever is going against you now is actually working
together for your good. As long as you in God’s will, life nor Satan can
destroy you. Vs 28
God has not called us to a life of suffering; you chosen…
chosen means to be handpicked, specially selected… to show forth is praises…you
were justified to be glorified. Vs 29-30. You were saved to live a life of
glory on earth and in heaven
God is not fighting you…the one who died and forgave you
cannot be against you…he cannot condemn…you are not suffering for your sins…he
spared not his son from dying for you, he cannot deny you of anything in life…
Satan is after those 5 things in your life;
·
your love for God
·
your faith in God
·
your knowledge of God
·
your confidence
·
your purpose
that was why he asked…and he is still asking…Jesus said to
Peter…Satan has asked to sift you…Luke 22: 31…Brother, Satan has asked to sift
you…sister, Satan has asked to sift you…young man,…Satan has asked to sift
you…he has sent tribulation, distress, persecution, famine, nakedness, peril or
sword…but hear this loud and clear…he cannot kill you. Job 2: 6. He is after
the glory that will soon be revealed in you after this…but you must stand and
declare to our every demon in hell…nothing can…I say nothing…
·
nothing can separate me from the love of God
·
nothing can make me doubt my God
·
nothing can make me lose my confidence
·
nothing can make me give up my purpose
·
nothing can make doubt what I know about God
Nay, in all these things…nakedness, famine, distress,
sickness…I …am…more…than…conqueror…through him…that is God…that loves us.
How can I conquer?
1 Corinthians 10: 13 says There is always a way out of every
challenge. There is always a strategy out of every tragedy. No challenge is
unique; it is common. What you are confronting today, someone has conquered
before. Your test today is someone testimony. So, you are not the first and
won’t be the last. This challenge is also not the first and it won’t be the
last.
The way out…comes from God…when it is time for the trouble to
expire…God will show you a way out.
3 ways to violently stop Satan’s harassment in your life

Faith

Mouth
My focus today is on the power in your mouth. There is
victory in your mouth Romans 10: 8; there is power of life and death in your
tongue Proverbs 18: 21. You either empower or disable Satan over your condition
depending on the use of your mouth.
How to use your mouth
Understand that challenges are the roaring of the enemy
against. 1 Peter 5: 8-9. When the lion
roars at you, you must roar back. You qualify to roar at the enemy because you
belong to the tribe of Judah. Genesis 49 : 8- 12 describes the blessing on
Judah, and Jesus was called the lion of Judah in Revelation 5: 5 who has
prevailed. The bigger prevailing lion lives in you ‘for greater is he that is
you…’ Roar back. It is time to roar.
What you don’t confront you cannot conquer. Goliath roared
against Israel, the trained soldiers flee but David roared back at him and the
giant was defeated.
As long as you keep quiet,
the enemy will continue to prevail. Isaiah 53; 7 says if you don’t open your
mouth, you will led to slaughter like a sheep. But Isaiah 42: 13-14 says, I
have been quiet, yea, I have been silence but now I will cry, yea, I will roar
and prevail against the enemy.
The very day you open your mouth against all satanic
harassment, that same time, the enemy will turn back Psalm 56: 9
Psalm 18: 40- 45 as soon the enemy your voice, they will obey
and flee from there hiding places.
In Psalm 81, one the instruction is to open wide your mouth
vs. 10 and the victory will follow in vs. 14, how quickly I would subdue their
enemies and turn my hand against their foes’. The sooner you open your mouth
against that condition, the sooner the enemy will be subdued.
Joshua 1:8 this book of the law must depart out thy…mouth…thy
mouth…for thou shall meditate upon it day and night….the word meditate there is
hagah which means to murmur it in
pleasure or anger, to muse, to pray it…it means you need to roar the word of
God you know about your condition day and night. Every day night, you stand and
said to your condition it is written…then you shall make thy way prosperous and
thou shall have good success.
Conclusion
Every challenge has it purpose; Every challenge is common;
every challenge has an expiry date; there is a way out of any challenge; the
day you roar, that same day, evil harassment against your destiny is
terminated. It is time to stop keeping quiet for the enemy and roar back at
him.
Prayer point
Hebrew 12: 29 our God is a consuming a fire….Matthew 15: 13
every plant ….shall be uprooted…Luke 3: 10…shall be cast into fire. If God has
not planted it, then it is done by the enemy Matthew 13: 28
·
My father, whatever you have not planted in my life,
uproot now in Jesus name
·
Holy spirit, Everything the enemy has planted in my
life, must be consumed by fire now
·
You foul spirit oppressing my life, come out now in
Jesus name
