So the five men who had explored the land around Laish spoke. They said to their relatives, “There is an ephod in one of these houses. And there are also household gods, a carved statue, and a silver idol. You know what to do.”
Judges 18:14 ERV
The mystery or rather the effectiveness of a believer is solely based on the decisions he makes be it for or against something. An aggressive positive response to any situation or circumstance gives us the edge. The whole idea is not to judge things or condemn but to actually be seperate from any evil connection in your midst.
A different kind of Christian is being addressed here ... ,in Micah's house there is teraphim , ephod ,a graven image and a molten image so the last phrase is what I really want us to understand ... We see the responsibility being placed on the shoulder of a prayer warrior here ... Yes they are worshipping idols ... but in our culture you know what we do in these circumstances...
Teraphim (household gods) were known as givers of prosperity , they were ancestral gods carved in human shape..the pagans worshipped these things but now we see the same idols in the midst of Israel.. So now it wasn't a question of who owned these things but a question of getting rid of this taboo... The whole nation could not afford to perish just because one person was worshipping foreign idols.
Listen it's true we are living in dangerous times , the devil is on the rampage destroying humanity , marriages and our children but are we going to stay idle?
No we are called to war this is the season to double-check our environment , sanctify our houses and ensure there are no idols in our midst.This is a season to take decisive action , we can't continue living a life of sin ,God requires man and woman who are righteous and are always obedient to him. In
This is not the time to be living on the fence , decisions have to be made and it has to be now. In our houses we must not allow things that God doesn't like. This is the time to focus our energy on God thus resist anything that might derail us from our faith.
We can't afford to let these foreign gods dwell in our midst it is an abomination . These is the season for cleansing thus get rid of all the doctrines the enemy taught us and be true to I AM THAT I AM.
He rescued us from Pharaoh ,and with the same intensity he is destroying the Devil in his every attack he was rendered useless on the cross thus Jesus Christ made a public humiliation of him .The devil is defeated we have nothing to fear anymore ,he is only using intimidation skills to keep the masses in bondage.
He has no right to be in our midst , our finances ,our health ,our marriages and our businesses. He got no right at all , destroy every weapon he is using we need to burn down his altars and the graven images.
We refuse to be in bondage by associating ourselves ,with these gods in our midst. Sanctify yourself today remove anything linking you to these fallen gods be it addictions ,ungodly communication, pride ,envy , jealousy , ungodly soul ties. Be it ungodly habits it's time to burn those habits .
Flee from ungodly covenants , flee adultery we can't afford to have these household gods in our midst anymore.This is the day of your salvation come as you are though your sins are many , even if you are dying inside from sins you haven't confessed before God will give you a second chance .
Unconfessed sins keep you in bondage , you tend to live your life with a guilty conscience and that is exactly what the enemy wants ,so that he will keep reminding you of your failures ,your downfall , your background , curses spoken against you ,ideas you believed and everything else he can use to keep you from achieving your goals.
Let's take time today to confess all our sins , things we didn't do ,the fears we had ,the opportunities we did not take . We need to confess our failures too , the failures you don't talk about destroys you.Lets remove all these gods from our midst they are a black cloud these things are restricting our growth as an institution.
This is the day of our atonement thus anything reminding us of Egyptian rule and it's system need to be wiped off from our memories. This is no longer the time to envy the slavedriver and his systems of keeping people in bondage.
For we are the children of light ,where there is light darkness has to move away. This is the season to take over authority of our destinies.Dont dwell to long on what you lost this is the season to focus our minds and energy to what the Spirit of God is doing.
We can't afford to have the slavery mentality when we are co heirs in the kingdom of God .As co heirs in the Kingdom of God thus we have the authority to crush the system of the enemy ,destroy it so that it won't be mentioned anymore in the future generations.
In place of what you were taught , start encrypting the laws of the Kingdom of God. Completely wipe of the database powering the enemy's dominance in your life ,bring it to null .His dominance is a thing of the past ,we are the new generation and I AM THAT I AM is our King thus his Kingdom has come to redeem us from this yoke of slavery.
In place of the enemy's dominance,laws and systems it is I AM THAT I AM laws and ordinances that will apply in our lives. We are the head and not the tail ,that mentality that made you a second class citizen should be utterly removed from your mindset.
No more limitations now , no earthly system can cripple us anymore for we operate on Heavenly principles . We deserve the riches of the land thus every authority descriminating against us getting our hands on the gold and diamonds of the earth should be destroyed ,it's a spirit and it has to be dealt with.
Every arrangements ,or committees that were involved in keeping us in this cobweb of poverty should be brought to ruins. A new mindset is imperative , all these gods should be removed from our midst and real action is necessary.
This is a time for action , we have prayed long enough ,but couldn't get results because of these foreign gods amongst us ...This is the time to destroy them. Get rid of all the iniquities , anything the enemy was using to violate you it must be discarded.
Sanctify yourself therefore , do not be found wanting by entertaining foreign gods in your midst. This is our Canaan we can't afford to ruin it by entertaining the very same gods that kept us in slavery.
Keep this Book of the Law always on your lips; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful. Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.”
Joshua 1:8-9 NIV
We are free already from the enemy , he is trying to tie us down by intimidation.He lost already and he knows it . His influence on our lives was destroyed a long time ago. He can't influence your marriage and your finances he lost already .
Don't grant him access to people in your community and those under your authority ,we are the priests of this generation the revival starts with us . And I am here to remind you not to loose focus of who you truelly are and what I AM THAT I AM requires of you.
The Son of Man Jesus Christ came to remind us to be united in the pursuit of enlarging the kingdom of God ,thus this message must reach the ends of the Earth. And all the crooked path will be made straight.
This is not the time to be idle you need to support the kingdom of God , be it evangelism , financially and in prayer. Don't sit on the fence support the ministry of God today and it shall be well with you.
Once you devote yourself to enlarging the Kingdom of God , you are rest assured of victory in your every endeavour for we were promised security by I AM THAT I AM . Everything you own will be secured from being devoured by this enemy. Sacrifice all you have to the enlargement of the Kingdom of God thus you will be victorious.
The Lord will grant you abundant prosperity—in the fruit of your womb, the young of your livestock and the crops of your ground—in the land he swore to your ancestors to give you. The Lord will open the heavens, the storehouse of his bounty, to send rain on your land in season and to bless all the work of your hands. You will lend to many nations but will borrow from none. The Lord will make you the head, not the tail. If you pay attention to the commands of the Lord your God that I give you this day and carefully follow them, you will always be at the top, never at the bottom.
Deuteronomy 28:11-13 NIV
And God is able to bless you abundantly, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work. As it is written: “They have freely scattered their gifts to the poor; their righteousness endures forever.” Now he who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will also supply and increase your store of seed and will enlarge the harvest of your righteousness. You will be enriched in every way so that you can be generous on every occasion, and through us your generosity will result in thanksgiving to God. This service that you perform is not only supplying the needs of the Lord’s people but is also overflowing in many expressions of thanks to God. Because of the service by which you have proved yourselves, others will praise God for the obedience that accompanies your confession of the gospel of Christ, and for your generosity in sharing with them and with everyone else.
2 Corinthians 9:8-13 NIV
