Topic: Operation Close Old Account II
Text: I Kings 5:3-4
INTRODUCTION
Old accounts are satanic account made in the life of a man to make withdrawals. The following are what happens when old account is in operation in the life of a man:
(1) Withdraws prosperity and causes the victim to experience excessive poverty.
(2) Reduces your chances in life and causes one to loose opportunity habitually.
(3) It hinders breakthrough and the experience of difficulty results.
(4) It is the account of evil pattern in a family and gives its victim antagonizing forces and carry over battles from year to year and not finish the year strong. THAT IS WHY WE NEED TO CLOSE OLD ACCOUNTS.
Mephibosheth the son of Jonathan escaped death because his father opened a good account when he entered a covenant with David.
WHAT OLD ACCOUNT SHOULD WE CLOSE?
(1) Ignorance
(2) Invisible lines
(3) Stubborn Pursuers
We have discussed these three already come to our book shop and buy the CDs and it will bless your life; or you can check rebroadcast on social media.
Today we are going to discuss the following accounts:
(4) Account of adversity
(5) Account of Rebellion
(6) Account of Close doors
ACCOUNT OF ADVERSITY (1 Kings 5:3-4)
Adversity is when evil hands are removing your strong supporting system. Adversities are powers that sponsors adverse situation, aggression and they have intentions and ability to perpetuate evil. Where there is adversity, rest is not visible. Adversity is the birthplace of unfulfilled expectations. Adversities stop people from experiencing destiny momentum and speed.
Great dreams are treated as contra-ban in demonic Kingdom (it is a dangerous commodity). Adversity fights the dream of a man. So, take note: if you are carrying a big dream, expect adversity. Nobody can declare intention for greatness and not attract demonic aggression (Isaiah 54: 14). Adversities are certain where dreams are in place: Bible say, many are the affliction of the righteous but the Lord…
Thus, don’t give up simply because you had an attack; you can grow despite the groaning (torture) of life. It is adversity that makes people enter into wicked complications, but don’t give up.
HOW DO YOU HANDLE ADVERSITY?
(1) You must get to a higher spiritual altitude to erase adversity (meaning, you have to grow spiritually). You have to grow up to take the enemy down. How? By growing in the word and maintain a constant prayer life.
NOTE: The word of God is an everlasting cure for any adversity.
(2) Refuse to bow (Develop a spiritual stubbornness).
Whenever you see a setback, never sit back, it is a set up for a comeback. Actually adversity is a disguise for your promotion; but we have to take it out of the way before it takes our peace and leave us worrisome.
(3) Be ready to manifest the stuff you’re made up of.
EVERY ADVERSITY THAT CONFRONTS YOU IS TO REVEAL YOU.
(4) Subscribe to divine guidance
Look for spiritually matured people around you (your spiritual father, etc), if not, you may be vulnerable to prevailing circumstances. FORE-KNOWLEDGE IS THE BENEFIT WE ENJOY OF DIVINITY. There are three levels of guidance: GUIDANCE BEFORE, GUIDANCE INSIDE, AND GUIDANCE OUT. God guided Noah, Pharaoh through Joseph before scarcity in Egypt; For God’s guidance inside adversity an example is Elijah, God provided for her by birds during the draught. For God’s guidance out of adversity, God tool the patriarch Isaac, stay not in Egypt go to Gerar; to Abraham he said otherwise. Anyone who relies on human wisdom will in the long run pay dearly. Once you are guided, you will not give up when attacked.
ACCOUNT OF REBELLION
Read: 1 Samuel 15:27
Rebellion withdraws our chances for being great; it makes people have ruptured tomorrow. By rebellion everlasting open door becomes temporal; rebellion to scriptural, pastoral and prophetic injunctions is dangerous.
The Lamentation for Absalom by David was not just because he was he son but because the potential king who showed promise and great ability as his father had died. DON’T FRUSTRATE YOUR OPPORTUNITY BY REBELLION.
Sir/Ma, by submission and followership you don’t know what you are capable of becoming in the coming year(s). Imagine what Lucifer would have become by now if he not for rebellion? Rebellion is an enemy.
Rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft and witches and wizards can’t enjoy opportunities that life offers. DRYNESS IS A SIGN OF REBELLION; TOTAL SUBMISSION IS A PROVE OF LACK OF REBELLION. Rebellion carries spiritual implication.
ACCOUNT OF CLOSE DOORS
Read: Psalms 24:7
Close door is a figurative term that stops our access to heavenly blessing and earthly treasures. When these doors are not opened, they will delay your blessings and treasures… we are going to consider five (5) doors the enemy tries to close in your life:
(1) Door of Favour (Lev. 26:9)
Favour is God’s BLANK CHEQUE; It is prove of visitation from God; it is what distinguish kings from subjects; favour is God’s formula for advancement. Favour gives you divine life rating. Favour is the key that takes away limitations; it is the ladder for divine liftings; ONCE YOU ARE FAVOURED, IT BECOMES YOUR TURN – your turn to have it.
THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT FAVOUR
(a) Favour is your reward for obedience (Job 36:11)
(b) When your favour level increases, right people will begin to associate with you.
Remember: FAVOUR IS CONNECTED TO GOD. If so, never you move away from God.
(c) Favour unprotected becomes disfavor (favour lost – e.g Lucifer, Vashti).
(d) Until you celebrate favour, it will never increase
(e) Those who don’t fight people’s success will see God’s favour. Remember, favour doesn’t come by prayer alone.
(2) Doors of helpers
These are in levels; Existing without helpers is like existing without pillars; everybody around you is either sponsored by Satan or by God. Anytime your season will change, God will send helpers. Ten (10) years from now you will remain the same, except for three (3) things:
(a) The books you read
(b) The people you meet
(c) Your spiritual atmosphere and the prophet over your life.
Read: 1 Corinthians 16:9
The answer to all prophecies is the appearance of a man – it is important that the right people see you e.g the man by the pool of Bethsaida.
Also take David as another example, meeting the young Egyptians on a cross road in 1 Samuel 30.
THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT HELPERS:
(a) Wrong helpers, can stagnate your life
(b) Helpers serve as bridge from your present level to the next
(c) Helpers are the highest channel God initiates, when people oppose you, like he did the Children of Israel.
The following are other doors:
(3) Prophetic doors
This gives timing and guidance.
When it seem you are about to enter water-loop and you didn’t know, prophetic door is necessary (Acts 5).
(4) Door of greatness
(5) Door of financial prosperity.
Today I declare every old account the enemy is using to make withdrawals from your life, close by fire in the mighty name of Jesus.
