Open Heaven Daily Devotional Guide 15 April 2024 Message:
There are many Christians who say that they do not take nonsense from anybody. However, these same people take nonsense from the devil. Whether you take nonsense from people or not is not very important, what is most important is that you do not take nonsense from the devil. The Bible says:
Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: – (1 Peter 5:8)
Will you sit around and let him come and devour you? You should stand your ground against him and set his tail on fire so that he can run far away from you.
One of my daughters shared a testimony some time ago. Her child was sick, and they took the child to the hospital. On getting there, the doctor said that there was nothing he could do to save the child. The woman asked, “In that case, can you refer us to another hospital?” The doctor referred them, and on their way, they got stuck in a terrible traffic jam. While in the traffic jam, the child died. The woman said, “I am not going to take this,” and after five hours on the road, she suddenly had a brainwave. She said, “At least my father will call his God, and his God will answer. I will call on the God of my father, and I even have a handkerchief that he once prayed over.” She laid the handkerchief on the child, called the child’s name and commanded him to come back to life. The child jerked awake, and there was no need to go to the hospital anymore.
When you are determined not to let something evil happen, your prayers will be more fervent than usual. There are probably things in your life that the devil has been using to torment you. These things will only stop when you become determined not to take any nonsense from him again. If you have been praying gentle prayers concerning these things, it is time to use your authority in Christ and start issuing commands in your prayers.
You must however, submit yourself to God first before you can successfully stand up to the devil. James 4:7 says:
Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
If you are sure of your right standing with God, when you resist the devil, he will run away from you. Stop taking nonsense from him!
RCCG OPEN HEAVEN 15 APRIL 2024 ACTION POINT:
Command the devil to take his hands off your life and everything that concerns you now.
