When the devil decides to torture his victims through vexation, he attacks them intermittently with problems that hurt and embarrass them. To achieve this, the devil assigns a demon or demons to operate in the victim's life at regular intervals.

In today's Bible reading, Jesus was coming down from the Mount of Transfiguration when a father brought his son to him. The father narrated how a demon came at intervals to cause his son to throw himself into the fire and into the water. The demon wasn't always troubling the boy, but it would come from time to time to push him to harm himself. Some people are perfectly okay in one minute, and in the next minute, they suddenly find themselves in trouble. For example, people with epilepsy are attacked at intervals, and the seizures sometimes come when they are in public places, thus causing them a great deal of embarrassment.

In the 70s, there was a lady in The Redeemed Christian Church of God who had a child who was suffering from the vexation of the enemy. The child had regular seizures, and whenever she rented a new apartment, her son would have one of such attacks. In those days, people believed that such attacks were contagious, and as such, the landlords of the apartments she rented would chase her out of their houses after such incidents. His sister had been moving from house to house until one day when, right in the centre of the town she lived in, the child had an attack. What she had been trying to hide became a public thing, and everyone around her at that moment fled. When this happened, she grabbed the child, looked up to the Almighty God, and prayed. She said, "Father, my secret is out, and I have no help. Please, arise on my behalf." That was the last day the child had an epileptic attack.

Beloved, have you been experiencing the vexation of the enemy? Has he been coming into your life at intervals to steal, kill, and destroy? Surrender your life to Jesus if you have not done so. Promise Him that you will live according to His will from now on, and call upon Him to deliver you. He will surely rise in your defence.

RCCG Hymn

All hail the pow'r of Jesus' name!

  1. All hail the pow'r of Jesus' name!
    Let angels prostrate fall;
    Bring forth the royal diadem,
    And crown Him Lord of all.
  2. Crown Him, ye martyrs of our God,
    Who from His altar call;
    Extol the stem of Jesse's rod,
    And crown Him Lord of all.
  3. Ye chosen seed of Israel's race,
    A remnant weak and small,
    Hail Him who saves you by His grace.
    And crown Him Lord of all.
    Heav'n is hll'd with joyful noises
    How delightful their worship.
  4. f Let us join with the heav'nly throng,
    Ye Gentile sinners, ne'er forget
    The wormwood and the gall;
    Go, spread your trophies at His feet.
    And crown Him Lord of all.
  5. Let every kindred, every tribe.
    On this terrestrial ball.
    To Him all majesty ascribe.
    And crown Him Lord of all.
  6. O that with yonder sacred throng
    We at His feet may fall.
    Join in the everlasting song,
    And crown Him Lord of all.
