Open Heavens 2012-4 December-DRAINED?

Pst. E.A. Adeboye 4 December

DRAINED?

Memorise: For by means of a whorish woman a man is brought to a piece of bread: and the adulteress will hunt for the precious life. Proverbs 6:26

Read: Proverbs 6:23-26

Can you imagine a very wealthy man worth a billion dollars accepting an apple fruit his servant plucked from a bush thereby transferring ail his wealth to the servant and becoming a servant to his ex-servant? This is the scenario between man and Satan. The same power God gave to man, which Satan took in exchange for the forbidden fruit is what he is using as a bait to destroy lives even today. One lesson we learn from this is that Satan is very good at getting something from nothing. How? The forbidden fruit he offered Adam and Eve was not his. Did he create any tree or anything in the Garden of Eden? Genesis 2:8-10 says God planted the garden and both the tree of life and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Satan succeeded in offering Adam what was never his in exchange for Adam's most precious gift, which was power to dominate the world. Even today, it is still so. What he offers to those who go to him for power, wealth, fame, success, children or long life are the things he had stolen from others. He is only original when it comes to sin, apart from that, he is a master counterfeiter.

If you do not want to lose your most precious things, never go to the devil for anything. Many women who wanted to protect their children went to Satan to become witches only to be told to donate as food for other witches, the. very children that they came to protect. When they refuse, they are threatened with death. In Satan's kingdom, it is operation no mercy! It is only a fool that will go to receive anything from the devil. He has nothing of himself, but will only give you what he has stolen and in return he will take what you love the most. Following this trend, many men of God and believers have lost so many valuable things to the enemy especially through fornication. Some men of God think that they are still at the same level even after fornicating. What deception! Look at yourself very closely and you will realise that while you were fornicating, God's grace your life was being drained out. Before long, you will see yourself as you really are: an empty barrel. It will take you a lot of sacrifice, dedication and other prices you will have to pay, in order to get back what you lost. Your worst enemy is having illicit sex.


PRAYER POINT
Every precious thing I have lost to the enemy's camp, I recover now in Jesus name.
Thank God for past Congresses. Ask for God's uncommon move, outstanding
attendance and great harvest of souls in this year's Holy Ghost Congress.
