SPIRITUAL WEAPONS OF WARFARE 18
Hello everyone, I hope you have been enjoying God in recent times?

If you have been following this series, your spiritual level should have been improving. Please, don't just be reading. It is the DOER of the word that is BLESSED not just the HEARER. James 1: 22-25.

Yesterday's emphasis shifted to prayer. You know it's amazing that these words flow like a stream.

I have done some explanations on the Prayer of Faith-directed towards personal needs. You must have found out what God has to say IN THE BIBLE ABOUT THE NEEDS. You must have definite scriptures that become the anchor of your faith.

The Prayer of Agreement- there must be AGREEMENT. It is prayed by a maximum of 3 people.Mt. 18:19-20. This prayer can be directed at anything; both spiritual and physical things. You can agree with someone for the salvation of the soul of another and so on.

Today's focus is on

THE PRAYER OF INTERCESSION

An intercessor is someone who stands in gap for another that has no right to come to God.

A believer doesn't need anybody to stand between him/her and God. The way to the HOLIEST OF ALL IS NOW MADE AVAILABLE TO ALL. This is typified by the rending into two of the curtain between the Holy Place and the Most Holy Place.Mt. 27:51.
Every believer ought to be able to come BOLDLY behind the veil. Heb. 4:16.

1Tim  2:5 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;

Jesus is the one in charge of MEDIATION between God and man.

WHO ARE THOSE THAT NEED INTERCESSION?

A. An unbeliever.

B. A believer who doesn't know his/her right and privileges. Basically, lack of Knowledge is what makes a believer need an intercessor.

i. A believer who falls into sin and is unaware of his/her right to forgiveness needs an intercessor needs intercession.

ii. A believer that committed a sin  and the sin led to sickness needs an intercessor.

iii. Also, a believer that is sick and couldn't exercise authority over the sickness needs an intercessor.

C. Intercession can also be made against the force of darkness militating against a believer.

In 1 Cor. 5:1- end,
 we have the case of a man sleeping with his father's wife.
In verse 2, Paul said they should have mourned that the person should be taken away.
The word 'mourned' here means INTERCESSION.
 Intercession is one way to handle sin in a congregation of believers.
 It is used to clean a house.  The intercession of the Corinthians would have taken the person from their midst.

JESUS IS OUR MEDIATOR.
One way He tells you who is closed to judgment is through BURDEN.

WHY IS THIS SO?

1. God is the only One that knows how much each of us knows (spiritual knowledge).

2. God is the only one that knows how many opportunities for repentance He has given to us.

WHAT IS A BURDEN?

A burden is an impression to pray. In some cases, it can be very strong as if you are going to burst/die if you don't yield to it.

Intercession means to call for mercy or avert an impending judgment or danger.

You need to know that man's action send signals to Heaven. Gen. 18:20.

When judgement is due to a person, God expects someone to intercede else, His wrath will fall upon such a person. Is. 59:16, Eze. 22:30.

Burden is God's way of telling you to invite Him to intervene LEGALLY in man's affairs.
Humans' frailty, weaknesses, etc make God to give burden- coded information to some believers.

Intercession is done by the spirit (praying in tongues) and by knowledge (praying in understanding). 1 John 5:16, 1Cor. 5.
Intercession is a NECESSITY in pastoring. Most of Pauline's prayer are intercessory prayers.

DULLNESS OF UNDERSTANDING, GROSSNESS OF HEART, etc are handled by intercession. Gal. 4:19.

INTERCESSION IS A TWO WAY THING. YOU CAN INTERCEDE FOR OR AGAINST A PERSON/PEOPLE.

Elijah INTERCEDED AGAINST ISRAEL. ROM. 11:1-4.


Many of David's Psalms are intercession against his enemies.
You can intercede against someone/people by bringing their sin/s to God's attention.
An intercessor is a lawyer in the Court Room of Heaven arguing for/against a person/people in the Presence of the Judge of the whole creation.
Tomorrow, I will continue. There is still many things to say and I will also handle SUPPLICATION.

Prayer of Enquiry

By
PRAYER OF ENQUIRY Prayer is a well established and accepted doctrine in all denominations of the body of Christ. Although, there are differences in our modes of prayer, we all believe in the efficacy of lifting up our voice to God to hear our requests and answer them. As much as we do a lot of this, we don't take the full advantage of it as children of God. We would rather worry and think things through rather than calling on God for help. This can be due to lack of faith in the power of God or being slothful in prayers. Apart from the aforementioned factors that prevent us from enjoying the efficacy of prayers, one key factor that prayer hinges on is praying correctly. To pray correctly simply means to pray according to the will of God. It is easy to know the will of God about sickness and poverty because they are expressly written in bible, but even at this, we still do not get answers when we pray. What you might be missing out may be a simple enquiry. The prayer ...

Holy Spirit 15- The Seven Spirits of God- Part 2

By
We have established yesterday that the 7 Spirits of God describe the 7 fold distinct manifestation of the Holy Spirit and it also describes the perfection of the Spirit of God. The answer to yesterday's quiz is: when God stepped into the matter in Eden, the 7 persons brought by the number 7 are: Adam, Eve, Physical Serpent, spiritual Serpent (the Devil), the Seed of the Woman (Jesus the Christ), the seed of the spiritual serpent (Antichrist) and God Himself . Re- read Day 14 to know how this fit in. Today's Broadcast 2. THE SPIRIT OF WISDOM Is. 11:2, Eph. 1:17 This is the Spirit that reveals to you the PLANS AND PURPOSES OF GOD CONCERNING YOUR LIFE, A MATTER, PLACE, etc. If you will ever know why you are on earth, you need the operation of the Spirit of Wisdom. He reveals EVERYTHING AND ANYTHING about the future. There are 3 prominent Greek words used for Wisdom relevant to our subject; SOPHIA, SUNESIS and PHRONESIS. A. SOPHIA describes the entire wisdom of God. T...

Holy Spirit 4- The Symbol of Dove

By
Mt. 3:16, Mk. 1:10. This typifies the harmless and gentle nature of God the Holy Spirit. He neither FORCE NOR FUSS ANYONE. It is only the Devil that force people and even afflict them without their consent. The Holy Spirit IS NOT a dove; He created the dove. Luke 3:22 says 'the Holy Spirit descended in a bodily form like a dove upon Him'. Many have wrongly interpreted this verse and that's why many church logos have the dove as an integral part of it. You need to know that the church can NEVER COME INTO HER FULL POTENTIAL AND RELEVANCE ON THE EARTH UNTIL SHE KNOWS (knowledge with participation-Greek EPIGNOSIS) the Holy Spirit. The person that designed the handbill for EPIGNOSIS Nite had already put a Dove there to represent 'the Holy Spirit'. I told him to remove it. The symbols in most cases are already becoming an idol in many people's hearts and rather than for many to think of the Holy Spirit as a person, they think of Him as a dove/fire/wind,etc. T...
