Memory verse:   

“When a strong man armed keepeth his palace, his goods are in peace:” 

“But when a stronger than he shall come upon him, and overcome him, he taketh from him all his armour wherein he trusted, and divideth his spoils.”

• Lk. 11:21-22.

We have asked the question, why the incessant drive for church growth? One reason for this is because church growth is the will of God Mat. 16:18. God created man for Himself and His own pleasure, the devil deceived man to disconnect from God, but God wants to have man restored back to him. This is what church growth represent, reconciling men back to God and established in Him by being planted in the church 2Cor. 5:17-20. The devil will not let go of man under his captivity, like Pharaoh did not willingly let go of the children of Israel Exo. 5:2. Therefore, the growth of the church will demand warfare against the devil and his powers of darkness Lk. 11:21-22.

The way to victory over opposition to church growth.

1. Understand that church growth is warfare.

Satan himself is the arch-enemy of church growth 1Ths. 2:18. He works to blind men from seeing the light of the gospel of Christ, by this they will prefer the life of sin to the life of God 2COr. 4:4.

• The solution to satanic opposition is divine judgment.

God’s judgment is what is required to stop Satan and his works Exo. 12:12-13. God’s judgment is what is referred to as vengeance. God showed up as the God of vengeance to stop Nebuchadnezzar and humble him Dan. 4:5-33. God’s judgment is triggered by the believer through scriptural declaration Psa. 149:7-9.

• Stop the mouth of unruly talkers and deceivers.

There are individuals who have given themselves to the devil as his agents, to work against church growth Php. 3:18. Their mission is to go about speaking idle words with the aim to deceive some from the faith and the church Tit. 1:10-11. Such men must be stopped from executing their mission, for the church to grow.

Remember, the last two weeks of the on-going prophetic season demands that each winner deliver minimum one new soul for Christ per week. Each of us must engage in warfare to deliver this result, and take our 4-level dimension of change.

Jesus is Lord!

Prayer.                                                

Father in the name of Jesus, by the blood of the covenant I invoke divine judgment on all opposition to the salvation of men and their ingathering to church this week Exo. 12:12-12,41-42.

Action.

Engage in scriptural warfare against the satanic forces resisting you from taking over your street and neighborhood for Christ.

Priestly Blessings.                                    

From today you shall be supernaturally productive in God’s kingdom!
