WHEN THE ENEMY COMES IN  LIKE A FLOOD

• SAMSON WAS VERY SPECIAL FROM BIRTH
• THIS WAS WHY THE ENEMY WAS TARGETTING HIM FOR DESTRUCTION
• THE HOLY SPIRIT WAS INVOLVED IN HIS BIRTH FROM THE BEGINNING
• HE WAS A CHILD OF DESTINY, A CHILD OF PROPHECY
• YOU ARE SITTING HERE TODAY IN CHRIST, BECAUSE YOU TOO ARE A CHILD OF DESTINY, A VERY SPECIAL PERSON
• THE REASON WHY SATAN HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO KILL YOU TILL NOW IS BECAUSE GOD HAS A SPECIAL PURPOSE FOR YOUR LIFE
• LIKE SAMSON WE ARE VERY SPECIAL PEOPLE
• SAMSON WAS GOING DOWN TO TIMNAH WITH HIS PARENTS TO LOOK FOR A WIFE
• IMAGINE OUT OF THE THREE OF THEM, THE LION SINGLED HIM OUT TO ATTACK HIM
• THE LION ROARED AGAINST HIM IN ORDER TO DEVOUR HIM.
• THE BIBLE SAYS THE HOLY SPIRIT CAME MIGHTILY UPON HIM
• THE LION OF JUDAH FACED THE SATANIC LION AND TORE IT TO PIECES
• 1 PETER 5:8 SAYS SATAN WALKS AROUND LIKE A ROARING LION SEEKING WHOM TO DEVOUR
• WHAT DOES THE LION STAND FOR? THE LION REPRESENTS ALL ENEMIES WHO OPPRESS OTHERS BECAUSE OF THEIR POSITIONS AND POWERS AND AUTHORITY IN LIFE
• THEY CAN CHOOSE TO ROAR AND ATTACK YOU OPENLY JUST TO DESTROY YOU
• PEOPLE CAN COME TO YOU AND SAY OVER THEIR DEAD BODIES WILL YOU BE PROMOTED, OR MARRIED OR HAVE CHILDREN
• SOME CAN LOOK AT YOU AND SAY ARE A DEAD MAN
• ALL THE LIONS IN OURLIVES WHATEVER THEIR NATURE OR POWER SHALL DIE NOW BEFORE OR AFTER OUR CONVENTION IN JESUS NAME
• THIS WEEK MARKS THE END OF ALL SATANIC LIONS IN OUR LIVES IN JESUS NAME
• BECAUSE THE GOOD NEWS IS THAT THE BIBLE SAYS OUR ADVERSARY THE DEVIL IS WALKING ABOUT LIKE A ROARING LION
• HE IS WALKING ABOU SEEKING WHO TO DEVOUR
• BUT 2 CHRONICLES 16:9 SAYS THE EYES OF THE LORD IS RUNNING TO AND FRO THROUGH OUT THE WHOLE EARTH TO SHOW HIMSELF MIGHTY ON BEHALF OF THOSE WHO FEAR HIM
• THE DEVIL IS WALKING WHILE THE ALMIGHT IS RUNNING TO AND FRO WITH HIS EYES ON THE RIGHTEOUS
• WHO IS FASTER? WHO WILL ARRIVE FIRST? ITS OF COURSE GOD .SO THE DEVIL IS A FAILURE.
• SIMPLY BECAUSE BEFORE HE CAN EVER THINK OF WALKING AROUND GOD HAS GONE AHEAD OF HIM.
• THE DEVIL IN THIS LIFE HAS  HUMAN AGENTS
• HE HAS BIG MEN AND WOMEN OF THIS WORLD USING THEIR EVIL POWERS TO DESTROY
• BUT THE BIBLE SAYS WITH THEM ARE THE ARMS OF THE FLESH, BUT WITH US IS THE ALMIGHTY GOD
• ELISHA TOLD GEHAZI “THOSE WHO ARE WITH US ARE MORE THAN THOSE WHO ARE WITH THEM” 2KINGS 6 8:18
• Then the king of Syria warred against Israel, and took counsel with his servants, saying, In such and such a place shall be my camp. And the man of God sent to the king of Israel, saying, Beware that you pass not such a place; for thither the Syrians are come down.

And the king of Israel sent to the place which the man of God told him and warned him of, and saved himself there, not once nor twice.  Therefore the heart of the king of Syria was sore troubled for this thing; and he called his servants, and said to them, Will you not show me which of us is for the king of Israel?  And one of his servants said, None, my lord, O king: but Elisha, the prophet that is in Israel, tells the king of Israel the words that you speak in your bedchamber. ¶  And he said, Go and spy where he is, that I may send and fetch him.  And it was told him, saying, Behold, he is in Dothan.  Therefore sent he thither horses, and chariots, and a great host: and they came by night, and compassed the city about.  And when the servant of the man of God was risen early, and gone forth, behold, an host compassed the city both with horses and chariots. And his servant said to him, Alas, my master! how shall we do?  And he answered, Fear not: for they that be with us are more than they that be with them.  And Elisha prayed, and said, LORD, I pray you, open his eyes, that he may see. And the LORD opened the eyes of the young man; and he saw: and, behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire round about Elisha.  And when they came down to him, Elisha prayed to the LORD, and said, Smite this people, I pray you, with blindness. And he smote them with blindness according to the word of Elisha.

• PSALM 20:7-8 SOME TRUST IN HORSES, SOME TRUST IN CHARIOTS, BUT WE WILL REMEMBER THE NAME OF THE LORD OUR GOD
• ALL THOSE LIONS WHO THINK THEY WILL DESTROY US THEY WILL FALL AND WE SHALL MARCH OVER THEM IN JESUS NAME
• AFTER MARCHING A LL OVER THEM,WE SHALL REMAIN STANDING AND SINGING PRAISES TO THE LORD AND DANCING IN JESUS NAME IN JESUS NAME
• NOW STILL TALKING ABOUT LIONS OR ANY OTHER DEMONIC ANIMALS OF THIS WORLD, HOW DOES GOD DEAL WITH THEM?
• ISAIAH 59:18-19 THE HOLY SPIRIT WILL RAISE GOD’S STANDARD AGAINST ALL YOUR ENEMIES
• LIKE IN THE CASE OF SAMSON WHEN THE LION JUMPS THE HOLY SPIRIT WILL MEET HIM MID AIR AND TEAR HIM APART
• DAVID GRABBED THE LION BY THE BEARD BY THE POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT AND TORE IT APART
• IN THE CASE OF DANIEL, DANIEL WAS GRANTED DIVINE GRACE AND PROTECTION TO SIT AND FELLOWSHIP WITH HUNGRY LIONS THROUGHOUT THE NIGHT
• DANIEL REFUSED TO COMPROMISE HIS PRAYER LIFE INSPITE OF THREATS AND LIES FROM THE ENEMIES OF HIS SOUL
• PROVERBS 16:7 WHEN A MAN’S WAY PLEASE THE LORD……”
• GOD HAS VARIOUS WAYS TO DEAL WITH ALL OUR ENEMIES
• BEFORE WE BECOME MATURE CHRISTIANS WE MAY WANT OUR ENEMIES TO BE TORN  INTO PIECES BY GOD
• BUT GOD HAS VARIOUS WAYS OF DEALING WITH THE ENEMY
• GOD CAN PREPARE A TABLE BEFORE YOU IN THE PRESENCE OF YOUR ENEMIES
• GOD CAN MAKE POWER TO CHANGE HANDS OR LITERALLY PARALYSE YOUR ENEMY
• HE CAN TEAR THEM HIMSELF, OR PARALYSE THEM OR GET YOU INVOLVED IN THE WARFARE
• THE IMPORTANT THING IS FOR THE LION IN YOUR LIFE TO LEAVE YOU ALONE
• BUT WHAT IS YOUR OWN RESPONSIBILITY, IN ALL THESE MATTERS?
• TRULY SPEAKING ONLY GOD CAN DEAL WITH ALL THE TRICKS OF THE ENEMY
• STILL . THERE ARE SOME THINGS THAT YOU MUST DO
• THE OTHERS GOD WILL HAVE TO DO BECAUSE, HE IS THE ONLY ONE THAT CAN DO THEM
• JESUS ASKED SOME MEN TO ROLL AWAY THE STONE FROM LAZARUS’S TOMB
• GOD WILL ALWAYS ASK YOU TO PLAY YOUR PART BEFORE HE WILL DO WHAT HE ONLY CAN DO
• FOR EXAMPLE NEITHER SAMSON NOR DAVID RAN FROM THE LION
• FROM TODAY YOU WILL RUN NO MORE IN JESUS NAME
• THE ENEMY IS LIKE THE DOGS THAT LIKE TO HARASS THE STRANGERS THAT COME AROUND THEIR HOUSES
• IF YOU RUN THE DOG WILL CHASE YOU
• IF YOU CHECK THE ARMOR OF GOD, THERE IS NO PROVISION FOR THE BACK
• YOU MUST DETERMINE TO PUT AN END TO YOUR SUFFERING BY FACING THE ENEMY AND RESISTING HIM
• SAMSON DID NOT RUN FROM THE ENEMY
• NEITHER DID HE TOLERATE NOR IGNORE THE ENEMY
• HE ALSO DID NOT DENY THAT THERE WAS AN ENEMY
• MANY ARE UNDER SERIOUS DEMONIC OPPRESSION
• THEY CANT SLEEP THEY HAVE BAD DREAMS AND PAINS THAT WONT GO AWAY
• YET THEY TELL PEOPLE THEY ARE FINE
• REMEMBER JESUS TOLD THE PHARISEES, “IF YOU AGREE THAT YOU ARE BLIND I WILL OPEN YOUR EYES, BUT BECAUSE YOU CLAIM THAT YOU CAN SEE, YOUR PROBLEM REMAINS
• NEVER IGNORE YOUR PROBLEM
• DON’T TOLERATE IT , DEAL WITH IT
• FOR EXAMPLE,POVERTY IS A CURSE NOT HOLINESS
• AS A MATTER OF FACT ,IF YOU ARE HOLY AND LIVE ACCORDING TO GOD’S LAW OF PROSPERITY , YOU SHOULD BE RICH
• 1 PETER 5:8-9 BE SOBER, BE VIGILANT( READ)
• VERSE 9 DOES NOT SAY RUN AWAY OR IGNORE HIM
• YOU ARE TO RESIST HIM
• THE BIBLE SAYS ONE WILL CHASE 1000 NOT RUNNING
• IF YOU SEE YOURSELF RUNNING FROM THE ENEMY YOU SHOULD KNOW THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM
• THEY ARE TO RUN AWAY FROM YOU IN SEVEN DIFFERENT DIRECTIONS
• DANIEL DID NOT RUN HE WAS STILL AND UNDERSTOOD THAT HIS ENEMIES WERE POWERLESS
• IF YOU ARE RUNNING , THEY WILL CHASE YOU
• YOUR LIFE MUST BECOME TOO HOT FOR THE ENEMY IN JESUS NAME
• OR IN THE CASE OF DANIEL TOO CONFUSING TO THE ENEMY
• ZECHARIAH 4:6 YOU CAN ONLY RESIST THE ENEMY BY THE SPIRIT OF THE LIVING GOD
• IF GOD BE FOR US WHO CAN BE AGAINST US ?
• NO WEAPON FORMED AGAINST US SHALL PROSPER
• BUT JAMES 4:7 SAYS SOMETHING TO WHICH WE MUST PAY ATTENTION
• SUBMIT YOURSELF THEREFORE UNTO GOD, AND RESIST THE DEVIL THEN HE WILL FLEE
• IF YOU DON’T SUBMIT TO GOD AND RESIST THE DEVIL, HE WILL TEAR YOU UP
• THE 7 SONS OF SCEVA LEARNT A LITTLE LESSON WHEN THE DEVIL QUESTIONED THEIR AUTHORITY AND TORE THEIR CLOTHES AND CHASED THEM ACTS 19:1-20
• WE SEE A LOT OF DIRECTION AND INSPIRATION FROM THIS SCRIPTURE
• YOU MUST GIVE YOUR LIFE TO CHRIST AND BE BAPTISED IN WATER AND IN THE HOLY SPIRIT
• WHY BAPTISM OF THE HOLY SPIRIT? IT IS SO THAT YOU CAN BE EMPOWERED FOR YOUR PERSONAL PROTECTION
• SO YOU CAN HAVE DIVINE CONFIDENCE AND PREACH THE GOSPEL WITH SIGNS AND WONDERS
• FOR ALL THAT TO HAPPEN  YOU MUST TRULY  SUBMIT TO GOD AND SURRENDER YOUR LIFE TO JESUS
• YOU MUST GIVE YOUR LIFE TO JESUS AND BE COVERED WITH HIS BLOOD
• YOU MUST GET RID OF EVRY FORM OF COMPROMISE AND IDOLATORY AND BE TRULY SAVED
• THE DEMONS ARE NO FOOLS.THEY KNOW WHO IS SAVED AND SANCTIFIED
• THEY ALAO RECOGNISE THE HYPOCRITES IN THE HOUSE OF GOD
• HANDKERCHIEFS FROM PAUL’S BODY WAS HEALING THE SICK AND SENDING EVIL SPIRITS OUT OF THE PEOPLE’S LIVES.
• PETER’S SHADOW WAS HEALING THE SICK.ELISHA’S SKELETON RAISED THE DEAD 2 KINGS 13:20-21
• ELISHA’S BONES RAISED THE DEAD
• REMEMBER ELIJAH ASKED ELISHA WHAT HE WANTED.
• HE SAID HE WANTED A DOUBLE PORTION OF HIS ANOINTING
• ELIJAH WORKED EIGHT MIRACLES,ELISHA WORKED SIXTEEN
• IF I ASK YOU WHAT YOU WANT NOW THE ANSWER WILL NOT BE SPIRITUAL AT ALL
• THE BIBLE SAYS SAMSON WAS GOING DOWN TO TIMNATH WHEN THE LION JUMPED ON HIM.WHERE WAS TIMNATH?IN THE LAND OF THE PHILISTINES
• BUT WHAT WAS SAMSON GOING TO DO IN TIMNATH?
• HE WAS GOING TO MARRY AN UNBELIEVER CONTRARY TO GOD’S INSTRUCTION
• MANY TIMES WE WONDER WHY THE LIONS OF THIS WORLD ARE HARRASING OURLIVES
• WE WONDER WHY WE GO FROM PROBLEM TO ANOTHER
• IT MIGHT BE BECAUSE OF BACKSLIDING
• WHO IS A BACKSLIDER?
• NOT JUST SOMEONE WHO WENT BACK TO FORNICATING AND LYING AND STOPPED COMING TO CHURCH
• A BACKSLIDER IS SOMEONE WHO IS NOT WHERE HE SHOULD BE SPIRITUALLY
• IF LAST YEAR YOU WERE IN GRADE 9 AND THIS YEAR YOU ARE STILL IN GRADE 9 YOU ARE BACKSLIDER
• WHY? BECAUSE YOU CLASSMATES ARE IN GRADE 10 NOW AND THOSE WHO WERE IN GRADE 8  ARE NOW WITH YOU IN CLASS
• IF YOUR PRAYER TIME LAST YEAR WAS 1 HOUR AND THIS YEAR YOU STILL JUST PRAY FOR 1 HOUR, THEN YOU ARE A BACKSLIDER
• IF YOU WERE WINNING SOULS LAST YEAR AND THIS YEAR YOU JUST CANT BE BOTHERED  TO EVEN PREACH TO ANYONE  THEN YOU ARE A BACKSLIDER
• IF YOU USED TO READ ONE BIBLE CHAPTER A DAY LAST YEAR AND YOU ARE STILL READING ONE BIBLE CHAPTER A DAY THIS YEAR, YOU ARE A BACKSLIDER
• THAT MEANS THERE ARE MANY OF US HERE TODAY THAT ARE GOING DOWN TO TIMNATH
• WE CANNOT EVEN DIFFERENTIATE THE CHURCH FROM THE WORLD ANYMORE
• GOD WANTS TO DO A TOTAL WORK IN OUR LIVES IN THIS COMING CONVENTION
• HE WANTS TO REPAIR US AND BRING US BACK TO HIMSELF
• HE WANTS TO BRING US BACK TO SPIRITUAL MATURITY
• BUT WE MUST GO BACK TO GOD AND MEDITATE ON ALL AREAS OF OUR LIVES WHERE WE HAVE ANNOYED GOD
• YOU CAN START TO MEDITATE ON GOD \S WILL FOR YOUR LIFE RIGHT NOW IN PREPARATION FOR THE CONVENTION
• WHERE ARE WE FAILING GOD? LET US THINK ABOUT IT AND PRAY IN PREPARATION FOR THE CONVENTION
• THOSE WHO ARE NOT SAVED MUST NOW TAKE A STEP OF FAITH AND SURRENDER TO JESUS TODAY
• THOSE WHO ARE SAVED MUST SEEK TO BE SANCTIFIED AND SPIRIT FILLED
