Sunday service: 23 August 2026
Scripture Reading⬇️
• 1 Samuel 11:1-7
🔷The spirit of reproach enters through covenants and agreements made with the enemy, knowingly or unknowingly.
🔷One covenant with the devil can affect not only an individual but an entire family and generation.
🔷The devil’s goal is always to destruct. He has many strategies, but one objective to steal, kill, and destroy.
🔷Nahash sought to remove the right eyes of the people which represented loss of vision, spiritual sight, purpose, and direction.
🔷 The devil attacks vision because when vision is lost, people become discouraged and stagnant.
🔷Many people are not lazy or incapable, there may be spiritual battles and covenants working against their progress.
🔷 When the Spirit of God came upon Saul, he rose up with boldness and authority, and the situation changed.
🔷Tears alone will not shift the spirit of reproach. Deliverance comes through prayer and the power of the Holy Spirit.
🔷Giving up is not an option. Continue praying. There are situations that will only change through persistent prayer and the Spirit of God.
🔷Do not just remove sin from your life and leave it vacant but replace it with the presence of the Holy Spirit, fill that space with prayer, worship, the Word of God.
🔷Do not continue listening, watching or engaging with things that pull you back into your old life and sinful patterns.
🔷Replace worldly influences with things that strengthen your relationship with God.
🔷An empty space becomes vulnerable, so after deliverance, remain filled with the Holy Spirit.
🔷As a child of God, you have authority in Christ Jesus to command the devil to leave and to break his hold over your life and family.
🔷Declare God’s promises over your family and refuse every spirit of reproach through prayer, faith and the Holy Spirit
