I Refuse To Expire ( 3)
John 5: 1- 7
WHENA product attains expiration, it will no longer be fit for consumption, but to be cast away. In the same vein when a man expires, no one identifies with him, he becomes invalid. The man in our bible text was sick for 38 years and when Jesus met him, his first cry was: “I have no man.” He was paralyzed. The enemy can release afflictions and problems into the life of a man, making him unable to do what he used to do. It can make some people even look older than their ages.
In Nahum 1: 9, God says: “He will make a total end of all afflictions in your life and never again will you experience it.” A man had migraine for 10 years and in search of a solution, he was told to buy 50 razor blades, break them in pieces and begin to chew them. He did all this and with incisions made on his shaven head, there was no solution. Unknown to me, he was invited to one of our services where God told me that He had healed someone with a migraine. This young man fell under anointing and after the service he went home. By our next service, he shared his testimony of divine healing. I pray for you, every evil arrow of affliction fired into you is coming out today in Jesus’ name.
Another thing that can make a man invalid is Demonic Possession or Oppression. In Mk. 5: 1- 10, we see a man ordained to be a great evangelist tied down by a legion of demons. In the Roman army, a legion represents about 3,000 to 6,000 soldiers. Imagine this number of demons inside just one man, this tells us that there is accommodation problem in the spirit realm. Demons are looking for where to lodge, so, you must be careful how you live your life and where you enter.
We were conducting deliverance for a lady some time ago and a voice spoke from inside her that they are many inside her and they won’t leave because she masturbates and, so, they are happy staying there.
Understand that, demons are disembodied entities looking for a bodily form to dwell and operate from. Be careful what you do. A little smoking, a little alcohol, a little immorality and the demons take over. There is a spirit behind every vice. Today, we have advanced gambling in the form of playing of pool —
Naira bet, Bet naija — and all forms of quick money operation.
The mad man in Mark Chapter 5 was alive, yet non- existent; he expired, dwelling in the cemetery away from the living.
Finally, the evil altars of your father’s house can cause you to live a fake and expired life as we see in the case of Gideon. One of the signs to show that this is in operation is when you observe that the same experience you are having is happening to other family members. This could range from delayed marriages or child bearing, nonpayment of dowry, non- achievement in life, hardship and fruitless struggling.
