JESUS IS NOT PAYING A DIME TO YOUR KIDNAPPERS
Many believers have a subnormal view of the Lord Jesus, that is why they live miserable lives and are easily lured to follow the world. God who knows who He made Christ laughs when see Satan trying to lead men further into rebellion.

Our redemption in Christ Jesus is so complete and powerful that you only need to walk out on Satan when you catch the revelation of it. In Isaiah chapter 52, God told us to remove the chains of Satan that are upon us and just walk out on the devil. If you are scared of ordering the devil around, go back to your Bible and learn Jesus 101. There is room for resit.

1. Awake, awake; put on thy strength, O Zion; put on thy beautiful garments, O Jerusalem, the holy city: for henceforth there shall no more come into thee the uncircumcised and the unclean.
2. Shake thyself from the dust; arise, and sit down, O Jerusalem: loose thyself from the bands of thy neck, O captive daughter of Zion.
3. For thus saith the LORD, Ye have sold yourselves for nought; and ye shall be redeemed without money.

God expects the you and I to reclaim our dominion without a struggle. This is depicted as our rising to loose the bands on our necks all by ourselves in the passage above.

God has better plan for your life than you running helter-sketer looking for deliverers. He wants you to rise up by faith and enforce your liberty, all by yourself.
He expects you to deliver yourself on the strength of your understanding of the redemption you have in Christ Jesus. He knows that the Devil took you cheaply because of your ignorance and He is not going to pay ransom to your kidnappers. Enough is enough.

I break every yoke of Satan off me NOW in Jesus mighty name!

THE LORDSHIP OF THE MAN JESUS CHRIST IS BASIC
One of things the Devil fears the most is our understanding of the man Jesus Christ; who He is to the believer. The Bible says God has made this man—Jesus Christ—both Lord and Christ. Did you notice the order it arranges these titles? Lord and then Christ (that is, Messiah or Saviour)
Many want Jesus to be their Saviour but they do not want Him as their Lord. That is why they jump from prophets to prophets, prayer meetings to prayer meetings, all in search of solutions. They want Jesus to save them but He must never dictate to them. But He must your Lord before He can save you. If you will not trust Him enough to accept that He knows the way, how can He rescue you from drowning? Yet this same people will not argue with their doctor!
The Lordship of Christ is where the power in Christianity is. You must surrender your will to that of Christ to become powerful. God’s power is manifestly strong only when you become weak in the eyes of man.
In the eyes of the world, you will look weak and powerless but this is the exact position that qualifies you for God’s divine visitation and intervention. Jesus said He has not come to call the righteous to repentance. He hasn’t come to save those who believes they are strong enough to save themselves either.
Who will teach this generation the dynamics of power? To be strong, you have to be ready to look weak, to be rich you have to be willing to become poor. To be known, you have to be ready to become unknown, while following Christ. This is God’s way. It is called the way of the Cross. Until you learn it, you remain in the wilderness.

YOU REALLY HAVE NOTHING TO FEAR EXCEPT SIN
Many people, including believers, do not understand the gravity of sin, so they make jest of it.
When God created the earth, He gave mankind, represented by Adam, the charge over it. However, Adam committed treason by rebelling against God, choosing to obey the Devil, the arch-enemy of God. By this, Adam made himself subservient to the Devil, whereas he was supposed to be the lord on the earth.
In Yoruba parlance, “Eniti o l’eru lo leru” that is to say, “Whoever owns a slave, owns whatever the slave has. So the dominion Adam had passed over to the Devil by virtue of Adam’s submission to the Devil, and the Devil became the ruler of this world.
Therefore sin, first of all, is a rebellion against God. Second, it is a choice you made, without realizing it, to come under the dominion of Satan.
As the king over the earth realm that God made you, sin becomes the choice you made to come down from your throne and allow your slave to take over and reign over you. It is the craziest thing you can ever do.
In the light of the fact that Jesus laid down His very life to purchase that throne for you, sin is putting Jesus to shame and making yourself deserving the deepest part of hell.

WHAT YOU BELIEVE MAKES OR BREAK YOU
Beliefs are powerful thing and they are very important to how we handle the affairs of life. Merria-Webster dictionary defines belief as something that is accepted or considered to be true. It also defines it as a state of mind in which confidence is placed in some person or a thing.

I want you to notice that the dictionary never said beliefs are something that is true, but something CONSIDERED OR ACCEPTED TO BE TRUE. So it is possible to believe that something is true while it is not actually true.
A wrong belief therefore can blind you, lead you astray, make you suffer unnecessarily and even destroy you for all eternity. On the other hand, a right belief can lead to your salvation and deliverance.

There is power available for you as a child of God that is contingent upon your belief. What you believe about God, His Christ, the Bible, yourself, the Devil, the spiritual world and etc determines the extent to which divine power will be made available to you. What you believe is shaped by what you read and who you listen to.
If what shapes your opinion in life is science, tradition, gossips from the pub,or the daily newspaper, you already know the authority governing your life. What you hear from these sources will make you if they are true and ruin you if they are false.
The Bible being God’s proven and tested word is what you can build your life upon that will not fail you. If you will dare believe what it says about Christ, the victories it says you can have or already have in Him and act in accordance to them, you will experience victories you never thought was possible. You will walk out of every cage the devil has placed you, simply because you have seen the littleness of Satan in the light of the supremacy of Christ.

The tragedy today is that we have too many people who claimed to be followers of Christ but do not hold His word as true. They believe everything else except the Bible. When you check the way they talk and how they respond to life challenges, you already know what they believe and who they believe. For those who truly believe the Lord Jesus, His word is still taking them higher still.

UNTIL GOD FIND HIS MAN
Waiting upon God is the one of the most commonly misused phrase today. You hear people say they have been waiting upon God for many years for this or that miracle. I came here to tell you that some of your waiting are not actually on the Lord but are occasioned by your ignorance and unbelief. A man needs to know how to move God into action concerning his matter, else he will tarry long in captivity and call it waiting upon the Lord. Faith is what moves God into action all the time.
Your captivity will continue until you learn how to move God into action over your matter. God is always looking for someone with faith through whom He can do amazing things that will draw others into His salvation. The miracle you seek is not just something God does to make your joy full. The miracle you seek has the capacity to draw multitudes to the side of God in the cosmic battle between light and darkness for the souls of men. God Himself is very much interested in seeing you get the miracles, they are proclamations of His glory, so relax.

But know this: until God found Moses who was ready to confront the oppressor, He didn’t order Pharaoh to let Israel go. Until He found an Elijah who could confront a rebellious nation and its king, prophets of Baal hold sway in the land. Abraham took his life in his hand and pursued four kings who had taken his brother (Lot) captives and defeated them. He succeeded to rescue not only Lot, but the entire people of Sodom among whom Lot dwell. God gave him the victory as he moved by faith. You wont be able to move your life forward, until you are ready to move by faith.

ARE YOU NOT TIRED OF THE STATUS QUO?

Many are tired of the present state of things around them but just do not know how to bring about the changes they desire. Some blamed the government, generational curses, ancestry and even nationality for their predicament. They wished they were born elsewhere other than their present country of their birth. There are those who blame God for every predicament, even when they do not want that God to have a say in their personal lives. No one is taking personal responsibility for the choices they made in life. It is always someone’s else fault or God’s fault.

A friend of mines once told me that you cannot help anyone who despises your counsel. If they believe they know better, they shouldn’t need your help at all.

Get this, your life or situation is not going to change at all until you start taking responsibility for it. The outcomes you are having today is as a result of the actions you took or refused to take yesterday. I have a saying, “If witches succeeded to kill you, it is your fault. If they could not, it is still your fault” You are the one to decide which fault you would rather let it be.

As a Christian, God has given you the instrument you need to change the status quo. It is called faith. Faith is acting on the strength of God’s word. God does not deliver your inheritance into your lap while you just sit still. He delivered them when you take action on the basis of His word.
You have to brood over (meditate) a particular promise God made to you personally or to believers generally on that issue until you see a way to act on the basis of it. The action you took on the basis of God’s promise is what is called faith. If your faith has no action, it is a dead one. It cannot produce any result at all. This I think is where many are in their journey with God.

THE TIME FOR ACTION IS NOT THE TIME FOR PRAYER, ONLY COWARDS PUT ONE FOR ANOTHER
One of the things I love about Christianity is that the Jesus we serve does not deceive us at all. He let us know what we will encounter, good or bad. This is why we have prophecy.
Of all the things the enemies of Jesus could accuse him of, cowardice was not one of them. The Lord has no place for cowards in His kingdom. It is a pity that the vast majority of Christians produced in our modern “revivals’ are just bunch of cowards. This is why Satan is having a field day sacking the institutional churches.
