The Deceptive Ministers and Their False Deliverance
Outside of God’s wisdom, you can never be wiser than Satan can. I am very sorry to reveal that many deliverance ministers and their ministries are in covenant with Satan. They are experts in these three strategies – Suspension, sent on transfer and sanction for a season. They have no divine power to cast out demons. They are swindlers, carnal and counterfeit ministers with deceptive signs and wonders, which they use to confuse the mind of the simple. Paul the Apostle wrote about them this way:
‘For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works’ (2 Corinthians 11:13-15).
If you desire real deliverance, then obey God’s command and counsel.
He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God.
He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it.
And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations:
He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels.
Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and I will write upon him my new name.
To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne.
He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son (Revelation 2:7, 17, 26, 3:5, 12, 21, 21:7).
Understanding True Overcoming in the Eyes of God
The phrases he that has an ear and he that overcomes appeared severally in the Book of Revelation. So what does it mean to hear? Who are these that will overcome? What and who will they overcome? Answers to these all-important questions require revelation from God and for these we ought to pray.
To have an ear means to be able spiritually to hear and discern; to understand the source of your information. To some people, they believe that to overcome means to manipulate themselves into the leadership of the church or government and know everyone that matters in the city. To overcome means to them getting anything they want by any means necessary. They think that once they start a church, gather multitudes, build big cathedral and have enough money in their bank accounts, then they have overcome. Wrong.
The devil is ready to collaborate with you to gather multitudes and give you anything on earth at his disposal if he is sure you will not tell people the truth or glorify God. Some ministers enter into covenant with devil to acquire evil force that can push people down in the guise of being under anointing and afterwards rise to their feet with more problems. Others can do anything humanly possible to gather immeasurable material wealth, drive big cars, bewitch people to sow massive seeds and reduce people serving under them to perpetual slaves. These instances do not show you have overcome. Those who truly overcome do overcome sin, Satan, world, flesh and can live to serve God with or without material benefits and under any situation.
‘I write unto you, fathers, because ye have known Him that is from the beginning. I write unto you, young men, because ye have overcome the wicked one. I write unto you, little children, because ye have known the Father’ (1John 2:13).
‘Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world’ (1 John 4:4).
‘For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith. Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?’ (1 John 5:4-5).
The Path to True Overcoming: A Personal Relationship with Christ
Millions of people may be calling you ‘daddy,’ ‘man of God’ or any other name of your choice, making you to view yourself as one who has overcome, one that has arrived and the spiritual father to many people. This is a misconception. In actual sense, to overcome is to know God and His son, Lord Jesus Christ, personally. Such are the ones who have real testimonies of their salvation and undistracted relationship with Christ.
Believers that overcome have great testimonies of faith and consistent Christian life abiding always in Christ. These believers are not in any way covenanted with the wicked one. Though they are in the world but they are not under the influence of the prince of this world, instead they overcome the world. They keep their faith, fight good fight of faith, press forward for the mark of the high calling and earnestly contend to the end under any situation and circumstance.
True believers who overcome are not enticed with fake powers or wealth of fallen ministers, which they parade about to confuse the mind of the simple. A true believer values his or her faith as a priceless treasure that must be guarded until the end and under any circumstance. A true believer ignores the powers from elemental forces and angels that could not keep their estate in heaven (see Jude 1:6-8). A true believer cannot exchange his or her faith with anything, even the whole world, how much less temporary blessings.
In times of distress, true believers that have overcome devil and his works guard their faith. In times of sickness, poverty, lack, mockery, shame and perplexity, they guard their faith firmly. They persevere to the end and never allow threats of evil militants, demonic leaders and their evil policies, fierce opposition, false prophecies and fiery furnace of suffering, hardship and occult grand masters to sweep off their faith in Christ Jesus. Those that overcome the world believe and serve God with all their hearts and strength. They hold fast their faith even in darkest moments when foundations on which the men of the world built their hopes are being ruthlessly swept off.
Do you want to join believers that have overcome, to eat the fruit from the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God? Do you want to join them to receive power over all nations? Do you want to join them to be clothed with white raiment that your name is not be blotted out of the book of life? Do you want to join believers that have overcome so that Christ will introduce you to His Father and all the angels in heaven? Do you want to join them so that Christ will make you unmovable pillar in the temple of God? Do you want to join them so that you will remain with God forever and live forever in the New Jerusalem, not this present Jerusalem? Do you want to join them so that you will be granted to sit with Christ in His throne with His Father? Do you want to join them so that you can inherit all things and become God’s child forever? Then you have chosen the right path.
Every true believer must overcome sin, evil, fear, idolatry and all unrighteousness in this life.
‘But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake, which burns with fire and brimstone: which is the second death’ (Revelation 21:8). The first step you must take is to acknowledge your sins, confess them and ask God to forgive you. Invite Jesus Christ into your life and ask Him to forgive you, empower you by His grace to forsake and live above sin. You can live a holy life if you choose to. Ask God to help you and keep you out of sin all times. It is well with your soul.
