BIBLE IN A YEAR: Mal. 1-2

UNSTOPPING YOUR MOUTH

MEMORIZE: "And call upon me in the day of trouble: I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me" (Ps. 50:15)

READ: Psalm 50:14-15

The Gaderene demoniac of Mark 5:1-20 was possessed by thousands of demons. They wanted to destroy him. He was destined to be an evangelist: boy, were his legs tied! The Lord set him free and he fulfilled his ultimate divine destiny. Every force of darkness tying your legs and hindering you from your destiny shall be permanently separated from you today. While lecturing at University of Lagos, one of my daughters came to tell me God has led a man her way. As I congratulated her, she said she had a problem. When I asked to know the problem, she said her father told her that after she was born, she was dedicated to a marine spirit husband; if she ventures marriage, her physical husband would die on the day of the wedding. She said she wanted to marry, but does not want to be responsible for the death of her suitor.

I dismissed her fears saying that the name of Jesus was above every other name. We prayed a prayer of deliverance and she left. Two years later, I was in a programme in a church at Yaba, Lagos when I saw her breast feeding a baby. She asked if I still recalled who she was, and I affirmed. Then she pointed her husband to me. Every force of darkness sent to hinder you from reaching your goal shall be destroyed in Jesus name. In any way you have been covenanted to a local deity or demonic power, you shall be free this season. Every spirit husband, wife or child trying to hinder you from your God ordained marriage shall be roasted by fire in Jesus' Name.

The worst type of bondage anyone can suffer is to have the mouth blocked. If you tie the hands or legs of an individual, he can still access freedom. If the rope is not too strong, he could engage the mouth to set himself free. Or at least he could call out for help. God promises to send help when you call on Him, but if the mouth is tied, there will be no help in sight. Some people's gentleness becomes their undoing.

There is a time to be quiet but there is a time to shout for help. Anyone who keeps quiet when he should cry out cannot obtain freedom. If your gentleness is stopping you from aggressive prayers, then it is working against you Drop it! When Peter was sinking, he cried for help. According to Matthew 12:22, speaking is more important than seeing. Whatever is blocking your mouth the Almighty God will remove it in Jesus name. Every rope tying your mouth will be roasted by fire. Cry unto God today and He shall arise on your behalf.

ACTIONPOINT
If whenever you pray you find it difficult to pray out, except in your heart, you are under a siege. Your mouth is tied. Rebel against this by praying aloud from today!
