ALWAYS BE CONSCIOUS OF YOUR AUTHORITY
TEXT: LUKE 10:17-20
17 And the seventy returned again with joy, saying, Lord, even the devils are subject unto us through thy name.
18 And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven.
19 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.
20 Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven.
MESSAGE
As a child of God there is this authority in every one of us (Luke 10:19)
When Satan oppresses us, it is not because this power is not in us, it is just that we are not always conscious of it, the fact that our savior is forever a winner means we don’t have to lose in any battle confrontation with Satan, as his destiny as a failure is already established when Jesus overcame and become a savior.
Satan’s agent put a fast one on me and am sure he was not prepared for what he got next, after working all night and blood thirsty mosquito would not let me be, I had to sleep for few hours during the day time, Satan came with a dream and I woke up with what guys called wet-dream, immediately there with faith , I recall the demon and command it to restore what he came to steal(john 10:10) with a compulsory trespass offering(1sam 6:3), and with the name of Jesus I gave the demon some punishment for not refusing to come when he was sent to come (ai mo ise ko omorogun, lo je ko tori bo omi gbigbona meaning it is the failure of stirrer to refuse the errand it was sent, that made it entered into hot water), using the word of God in Matthew 18:18 and first john 3:8 and the blood of Jesus. I letter told him never to come near me again, later in the bath room, I called devil and told him if he does not mind himself I will report him to Jesus Christ, I got this response, what will Jesus do to me? I responded, He is interested in your destruction, that was one of the reason he came in the first place(1john 3:8), He has done it in Gethsemane, He has done it couple of times and He is still willing to do it over and over again, and I told Satan, he will always pay trespass offering each time he steals from me as i have the blood and am not afraid to use it.
INSIGHT: This may sound crazy but that is one of the way you exercise your authority as a Child of God, in fact sharing this with you plays a role in perfecting my victory, I have used the blood on him and am sharing my testimony with you now (Rev 12:11).
